View submission: New Mod Queue Enhancements
This is only slightly related, but an enhancement request I would have overall here would be a flag on the removal tool that indicates whether a removal was punitive or not. Sometimes we remove content because a user's Comment finger went click happy and posted the same thing three times. Sometimes we remove things because we're consolidating into a megathread but we don't necessarily want to consider that a punishment for the user.
It would be helpful if there was a toggle on the removal reasons that distinguished between a removal for cause or a removal for cleanup / positive-negative-neutral / disciplinary or not / however you want to phrase that.
Then if mod queue tells us they've had 20 items in the log with 17 of them being negative-flagged, we know this is a troublemaker.

Great suggestion! We’re actually looking into a couple of feature ideas that could help with this. One is Content-Level Notes (similar to Mod Notes, but for individual posts or comments), and another is adding more specific removal reasons (like 'removed for being a duplicate').

Love the feedback and thinking here! Thanks! One suggestion for you, based on the use case you're outlining: You could create a separate removal reason for duplicate content. We've done that on a subreddit I moderate -- it's literally a separate removal reason called "Duplicate content" that sounds like "Hey u/! Thanks for posting. We've removed your post because it looks like a duplicate or a close copy of a previous post or comment."
I still love the idea of punitive vs. not flag. That's a really great idea! It would be helpful meta-data for a number of different use cases. Thanks!
