View submission: Shhh! Introducing new modmail mute length options

View parent comment

Not super important, but in case there are talks of old modmail going away ... /r/gonewild uses new modmail, but there is a mod-only sister-sub for gonewild that uses the old modmail, where our modbot modmails us about issues. We use this as a shared to-do list. New mod mail is more of a shared inbox.

The main feature that keeps that sub on old modmail is that we can see the full thread of last 50+ issues sent in, without additional navigation to view a message or to return to the list of messages. There is a single scroll bar for the entire page - can read and navigate with just 'page up' and 'page down'.

If I want to see a list of recent messages:

old modmail - I can go to https://old.reddit.com/message/moderator/[1]. If I want to filter by sub I can click once on the name of the sub in the header of any modmail message.

1: https://old.reddit.com/message/moderator/

new modmail - once in new modmail there is more clicking - want to see recent 'archived' message in a single sub? click on 'archive', then unselect all subs, then click on just the sub you want to see. When I'm done I have to go back up and selection 'all subs' again. If I return to 'new' and forget to reselect all subs I may miss messages until I realize I forgot a step.

sooo

suggestions on minimizing clicks and navigating:

• have the option to display 25/50/etc messages (titles and full threads) at once

• continue to copy the email (gmail) idea and create an 'all folder' that allows you to see all messages, regardless of 'archived' or 'mod sent' or not

• copy an audio mixing board idea of 'solo'. Each sub on the left side of the screen currently has a green checkmark toggle for whether you are viewing it. Add a 'solo' button to the right side of the sub name. 'Solo' - deselect 'all' and selects that one sub in a single click. Ideally it is a temp settings - when you leave 'archived' and go back to 'inbox' it forgets it on purpose. Stay in 'archive' and toggling 'solo' again would reselect all subs in a single click and no mouse moves.
