Discuit: Mod/Admin Requested Quality of Life Features

A collection of quality of life features requested by Discuit moderators and administrators.

Brought Up Features

Report Notification Enhancement

  • TamperMonkey Script by AW: A user-script that alerts moderators to reports is highly appreciated. A built-in version with a dedicated notification icon is suggested for better accessibility and visibility.

Moderation Tools

  • Comment Viewing: Moderators should have the ability to view comments left in their communities chronologically, which can include edited comments. This might be integrated within the 'Mod Tools' section for easier access.
  • Automatic Content Flagging: An automated moderation feature that flags posts and comments based on predefined rules (e.g., specific words, comment length, account age) set by community moderators. This would help in pre-screening content for potential issues.

Administrative Tools

  • Appeal System: Implementation of an appeal system for users to contest moderation decisions.
  • Direct Reporting to Admins: Addition of a reporting feature where moderators can escalate issues directly to administrators. This could include a toggle under the existing report button to choose between reporting to moderators or administrators, ensuring clarity in use cases for each.

UI Enhancements

  • Separate Mod/Admin Dashboard: A dedicated dashboard for moderators and administrators to handle reports, appeals, and automated flagging alerts separately from regular post and comment notifications, improving workflow and focus.
