Hi, I’m a moderator for a Discourse forum and this feature just emerged in our review queue where topics and posts are essentially assigned to someone to review. It looks like this under the post:
This is really frustrating because our team rotates moderators on a daily basis and this “currently being reviewed by” state doesn’t seem to clear or allow for overrides. This means there are often posts in our review queue that just get stuck there because those posts are reserved for a different moderator not on duty. Multiple members of the team looked to try to turn this off and couldn’t find the correct setting to make sure the “reviewed by” locking doesn’t happen. Is there any way to turn off this setting?
Thank you so much! Let me know if there is any extra context that I can give. One thing I saw that might be helpful/provide more context is the message that we get as the claimed reviewer:
