« on April 19th, 2013, 05:48 AM »I'm still not really sure what to do with the moderation centre as a whole. I mean... I looked at the preferences bit again and I see no reason to futz with that at all, just show users everything they can see and be done with it. But I don't really know what to do with the front page anyway.
I do know that I want to get more filtering options in there, e.g. be able to see all the reports a single user's posts have accrued (so if you have a problem user, you can say 'he had all these reported posts') as well as moderation items perhaps relating to that user's posts and topics. I don't entirely know where to go with this yet - but I get the feeling I'd rather put it in the profile area for a given user.

Ban yourself sounds more permanent to me than Suspend. For example I've been suspended [from school] for x number of days and I've had a friend or 2 been expelled. I guess this is the view that kinda ran thru my mind.
There were 2 types of suspensions internal and external. An internal suspension I was allowed to go to school but not my regular classes for set number of days, I see this as the option of not being able to post. An external suspension i was not allowed to go to school for set number of days, so I viewed this as not being able to visit the site.
While the word ban reminds me of my friends that were expelled just were not allowed back to the school ever.
Not sure why this is where my mind went :P but that was the cause for my suggestions.
hmm I actually already assumed this was plugin material not sure why.
Ahhh now I know why... next topic that way << is plugin revs.. I knew I saw the word plugin somewhere :eheh:

I was actually suggesting calling it by something of the sort rather than Ban yourself.

Crystal clear
I like the idea of differentiating between open/close for reported threads and pending/closed for groups etc.
this is probably the only feature I truly missed from my vB days along with the infraction system but I've been following your updates on that as well ;)Quote Very low priority indeed. I dont think it happens all the time anyway I had edited another post that did not show up as new.

I think we can take a look at it ^_^ I will note that this commit is very quickly escalating in size so it won't be fixed by me any time soon.

I get ya now.
Honestly the one category with a board for each as you explained really will suffice.
What I was hoping to avoid with my vision were situations where a moderator would see that # of open reports needed attention only to find that very few or none were from a board they were responsible for. I went thru that quite a bit with vb and likewise with SMF however I cant say it happens very often to the simpler solution of 1 category is completely fine.
Could the reported posts be "prefixed" by their board names and those be filterable, likewise for group requests?Quote I'd argue it should be changed, as I did the edit it's not new to me :niark:

That's actually something SMF has done in the past. We're not entirely sure whether we want to preserve that behaviour or not.

Open/Close is definitely where I was going with it.
I'm for ditching the menu items and going with the board/category setup indeed. I may have misunderstood:Quote I took that to mean have all the moderation boards in a category by themselves or having the option of some facility to have each board display teir ow reported posts.
This is kind of where my crazy brain was going... while viewing a particular board the number of open reported post would be indicated maybe in the sidebar or something like the attached.
Hmmmm bug maybe... editing my last post caused it to be marked as new for me.

As for placement. I think I'd be inclined to keep it as a single category that the admin can move around. But if people *really* feel a burning need for it to be per-board placement that's something we can work on.

« on April 11th, 2013, 03:37 AM »I had a lot of our conversations of the past in mind when writing this up. ;)
Since it would be option I definitely say get it in there, especially as you point out it would be now.or never. Having it in definite covers both side of the debate.
So after rereading:
Instead of unread, how about resolved/unresolved. As a moderator I'd rather go for the reports that havent been dealt with yet opposed to being presented with all unread reports.
My desire would be more towards per board but of course in many if not most cases a category should suffice: so I'm willing to sacrifice my desires for the greater good if there are issues such as performance or difficulties in doing it per board. Again I'd throw this at the mercy of beong optional.

I'm for the suggestions in their entirety. been gunning fr something of the sort for quite some time.
I'll have to re-read this later and add a few thoughts or questions if necessary (just gave it a quick read for now)
As for the original reporter being able to comment later, I'd say this would have to be optional. I'm of the desire that they should not be able to but you and a few others have given convincing argument in the past of situations where it would be useful; however stubborn me would just rather the thing gets reported and the moderators deal with it according to site policy and be done with it.

Since I never used or paid much attention to the message icons I'd vote dump them but introduce prefixes as icons sorta like in SD.
Maybe ship with a few common icons already available. If message icons are enabled and the poster did not select an icon the mobile[1] icon is used by default, if that makes any sense.

Off-topic / Re: Women in the Workplace/Life
« on March 23rd, 2013, 06:26 AM »
I read about that earlier and I have to say I completely agree with you. Not to mention it did bring some tension into the home as my lady happens to be an HR Coordinator and agreed with the young woman until I asked a simple questionQuote She got silent for a about 20 minutes and agreed the young lady handled the situation extremey poorly.
If the guys were employees at your company, would have wanted to find out about said situation via Twitter or other public means, or have that young lady give you a call or shoot you an email privately?
