I didn't really intend to get into moderating communities here, much like I imagine many others didn't, but since I'm doing so, I can't help noticing the mod tools are pretty basic.

Some improvements I think I'd like would probably be:

View modlog by community, so when you click the modlog at the bottom of a community's sidebar, it filters down to that community.

An option to review a moderated post's contents without having to go to the modlog. This would be really useful in moderation teams to see why your teammates removed/moderated a post/comment.

A separate suspend option for misconduct that's not outright banworthy. I've seen some bans in modlog that suggest it may be used like suspending, but that's not really intuitive imo.

Multiple post/comment selection. Right now this is pretty low priority, but if ever waves of spam come up, this would be pretty critical to clearing out spam.

These are just a few that come to mind. What are some others you've had occur to you?

i would apreciate the ability to more easily see the mod tools and use them.

I wasn't spamming. I reported someone that was spamming my post. @andobando was the one spamming my post.

Here's the post: https://lemmy.world/post/500028

edit: I guess since m3t00 blocked me he won't see my reply. Could anyone reach out to him for me?

I don't want to be blocked from !cat.

drafted you, sorry about that. confusing mod tools. not that I know anything about modding besides some 30 day timeouts for cussing

[–] skyler 2 points 2 years ago

No worries. I'm just glad it got resolved.

This is kind of worked out as a perfect example for why the mod tools need improving.

It'd be nice if there's a warning/strike system. I don't want to ban a user from minor issues, but if it happens multiple times then they should be banned.

At least a means of tracking users and maybe notes for the other moderators.

Is there a way to pin a comment on a post? I haven’t found that ability yet. If it’s not, that would be functional I think. I know how to pin a post to a community, but I can’t figure out how to pin a comment to the top of a post’s comment section

I was just looking for this, can't find it either. +1 would be very useful

An option for CSS would be nice.

search in modlog barely works sometimes. Ctrl-f (browser find) works better for me

Is seeing our community subbed user list allowable? I think it would be useful but understand if it’s not in line with the server policy.
