Hi, we have members posting topics that are either incomplete, poor or AI generated. We want to be able to flag these and send it back to the creator, with notes, to edit the post so it conforms to guidelines. I just can’t seem to find a way to flag this. Assistance appreciated. (hosted site)

Maybe convert them to a PM with a reply about what’s needed to make it be moved back to a topic.

You could require approval for certain groups until they prove themselves. Perhaps elevating their trust level or adding them to an “approved” group. Discourse recently added the ability to designate groups that do/not need approval: [이미지] More flexible category-level topic…

Hi @nickdb , You can simply select the Something Else option while flagging the post. When acting on the flag, you can select Hide Post which notifies the user, asking them to edit their post. The thing is, this doesn’t allow you to add your custom message to the post. I think the best way, as descr…

The overhead for requiring approvals is far to high, even for new users and frankly the issue is not restricted to new users. Converting to messages is also very cumbersome. This cannot be a unique problem. Groups is impractical for large forums and small mod teams. All we need is a “request edit…

[이미지] nickdb: All we need is a “request edit” option for flags that can send a generic or custom message and hides the topic, ideally allowing them to resubmit after an edit. You can create custom flags that accomplish most of what you’re looking for: [CleanShot 2026-04-28 at 12.35.34] You…

[이미지] putty: /admin/config/flags/new On its own this seems suitable, only issue is it does not seem possible to restrict a custom flag to a group (staff, mods etc). It really isn’t something we would want open to the whole user base.

It may be worth tinkering with CSS to hide it for everyone else? It may result in an awkward space in the module, but it gets you like 99% of the way there. [CleanShot 2026-04-28 at 14.21.55] The only other thing I can think of is training an AI agent to automatically flag them, similar to how th…

make the custom flag, for example if you call it the edit post flag [Screenshot 2026-04-28 at 11.40.08 AM] then in css of theme component: .flag-action-type.custom_edit_post_flag { display: none; } .staff .flag-action-type.custom_edit_post_flag { display: block; }

[이미지] putty: The only other thing I can think of is training an AI agent to automatically flag them, similar to how the spam bot operates. Expanding on this, if you have AI tools at your disposal it may be worth trying to lighten the load that way. Coincidentally, I’m watching the VOD of AI …

Right now on a technical forum AI is part of the problem. The helper agents are creating verbose posts, before the content that is pulled from gpt and co. Training an agent to prevent the mistakes of other agents is somewhat ironic. 5 stars to the spam bot but the rest is making it harder to run …

특정 그룹이 능력을 입증할 때까지 승인을 요구할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 해당 그룹의 신뢰 등급을 올리거나 “승인된” 그룹에 추가하는 방식입니다.
