View submission: Announcing a new mobile Mod Queue
Agreed - not a fan of hidden swipe actions. Is the action for each direction configurable? If not, is it true that all cultures and languages align with 'right' = approve / 'left' = reject? What about left handed users?
Will the action/direction be shown to reduce memory overload (#6[1]). Will there be Undo?

Not a fan (to say the least) of replacing buttons with gestures and hiding basic buttons in a sub menu.
The reduced screen space on mobile devices makes this somewhat of a tricky balance to strike. We found that adding the swipe functionality to the mod queue made it easier for mods to manage their Mod Queue more efficiently. What specific actions would you like to see pulled out from a sub menu?
That nice but it would be really great if this was made into a selectable option and of course extended to posts as well. Let us choose if we wish to be shown the removal reasons prompt or not!”
This is a selectable option for comments today and if we hear enough mods voice a desire for this for posts too, then it’s something we can look into adding down the road for posts.
