View submission: New Mod Queue Enhancements
The mod queue continues to look nicer and nicer. That said, one thing that continues to frustrate me and keep me from using the native tools much is the lack of post vs comment removal reasons. The Saved Responses expanding out to have modmail specific, but the 'Removals' tab still is just for everything. We have something like 16 removal reasons specifically for Posts, and then something like 30 removal macros for comments... keeping those separate is *critical*, and although we have moved a number of the *comment* macros to the Removals in the native tools we still haven't moved the Post removal macros over because it means the list just gets way too massive and unwieldy. As a result, *all* post removals are still handled only by mods using old reddit and toolbox.
This is something I've been banging the drum on for... 6 years? 7 years? Since when new was in beta and the first version of removal reasons rolled out... and continues to baffle me why it hasn't happened as it seems like such a no-brainer. I've heard more recently that it is vaguely, maybe, possibly to happen eventually, but is there any actual concrete movement on this?
It is frustrating to see these cool new things roll out but not really be able to use them because what seem like basic fundamentals continue to be skipped... (and I realize it is only kind of related, but seriously... I'm going to complain about this every time a new tool rolls out at this point, because it is the single biggest impediment to actually modding in sh or on mobile for me).

This is great food for thought as we look at improving the Saved Responses feature (like Removal Reasons). We’re planning to pick this up early next year since our main focus right now is on fixing bugs and improving platform stability and speed through the rest of the year.

I know this might sound a bit odd, but I really appreciate it—especially when the feedback is spot-on, helpful, and comes from a good place. Thanks for keeping us on our toes and making sure we stay accountable!
