Modlog and reports are top of my list.
Reports are the big one. Ideally, with inline context, and the ability to remove the content in question from the report queue itself, rather than having to navigate to the page (though that should also be an option)
Also, if there was a way of highlighting reported comments inline when viewing them (this isn’t an out of the box lemmy feature though, so I’m not sure how feasible it is).
Also, it would be nice if you could put a bit of text in the reporting screen encouraging people to provide context/explanation of why the post is being reported. So often, people don’t include any/enough information
For reports would you like to see this as a notification or something you have to manually check?
In an ideal world, the latter, with an option for users enable the former if they want it
I think also if we’re talking ideal world, there would be a “mod center” tab or something that has the log, reports, and tools for all the communities you mod, as well as maybe tabs within the center for each community specifically. With lists of all the other mods, and maybe communication tools too. Could be a lot, but just throwing ideas out there.
To be honest, I’m really not sure what mod powers I even have on Lemmy. The things that stick out to me are:
-
Edit sub ‘about’ page
-
Lock threads
-
Ban users, also view banned users and un-ban
Thank you for making Sync + Lemmy and thank you for working so hard to make it user/mod friendly!
You can already lock threads + ban users.
Viewing currently banned would be a great addition along with editing the about page. Cheers!
Adding in here because this is what prompted the idea, the ability to see history of similar offences. For example a post be user X is reported for spam, in the report it would show the report for spam, and also show that they have been reported 2 times for spam in the past. Would help a lot on finding repeat offenders, though I’d definitely a “nice to have” and not a feature to dedicate much time to for the initial mod tools release
That’s awesome! Would you mind walking me through locking/banning? I thought I explored all the options but this is my first time being a mod and using Sync so it’s been a ton of information.
Edit: Is there a FAQ or documentation I can read? Sorry for all the noob questions.
There’s no FAQ at the moment.
If you’re a mod of a community a little shield will show for posts and comments:
And you can ban from there:
I mod a sub that uses daily threads for organization. Right now I have an unstable solution for creating these posts on a schedule. Once every week or two it requires manual intervention.
Being able to schedule posts from Sync would be so much easier, but admittedly I’m probably the only one who’d make use of it.
I would like to be notified if another mod has already addressed a report. As it stands now, we each get a report notification on web, but if they address it before I even check to see it, then the notification disappears. I think having modlog notifications could solve this as another way.
Also, I would like to be notified of all removed content. A user can post rule breaking content and then remove it themselves before a report can be created or a mod can see it.
