Moderation and rejection (Qato)

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Would it be possible (and a good idea?) to add a feature for rejection of posts, instead of just suspending the user? This would cover posts that aren’t just spam, but offensive, repeated, outside subject of Unity or posts intended as trolling.

Yes, that would most certainly be an exceptionally good idea. :P

There are already features like closing or even deleting spam posts. Howevery you need a high enough reputation, to do so http://answers.unity3d.com/page/faq.html Even though, there are some features missing from the old StackExchange script, like voting for close/retag

Moderators ought to be able to approve, or delete questions and answers in the moderation queue. If this is not the case, get in touch.

Nope, there's definitely no way for users with over 1000 karma to actually remove a question from the moderation queue. As Christian H Pendersen says, this is usually the source of double-posts from new members.

Well, technically with 10.000 reputation you can delete any question or close then with 5.000 reputation

That would be great.

What would also be a nice feature is if the ‘moderation’ link at the top of the page turned green or some color if there were posts to approve.

Indeed, this sure would be nice to minimize queue-time for the new users.

Moderation is failing. This site is failing. I randomly logged on (I rarely do any more), and found 27 items in the moderation queue, the oldest from 10 hours ago.
