Continuing the discussion from Feedback on the new Review Queue : Am I the only person who often gets confused by the “Approve” and “Reject” buttons in the review queue? I do not get alot of flagged users and posts in my community, thank goodness, but that means that I am a bit unfamiliar with the f…

[afbeelding] tobiaseigen: I am a bit unfamiliar with the flagging system and terminology I would put myself in the same group here. I don’t regularly interact with the flagging system, so it feels a little unfamiliar. It isn’t 100% clear what the buttons will do when you click them. Once you…

And to make matters worse, the icons mean different things in different contexts. I’ve been bitten by this before: [afbeelding] Feedback on the new Review Queue (2019) megaphoneAnnouncements Some early UX feedback from our moderation team: This is not strict…

Thanks, David! I like that dropdown very much. I guess I am looking mostly at flagged users. In this case you hit APPROVE or REJECT and the user is just instantly approved or deleted, apparently. There is no drop down, and I also wonder what’s actually happened. [16%20AM] If I hit REJECT, does i…

I feel like the drop down on flags is fairly clear (although if anyone has a suggestion for making them more clear I would be interested in hearing what you have to say.) For reviewing users, I’m wondering if it makes sense to change from: :+1: Approve :-1: Reject To: :heavy_check_mark: Grant …

Thanks, Robin! Glad to know I am not going crazy on my own and that you think changing this is a good idea. Your new labels look good to me and are much more clear. I am also looking forward to the popup to delete the user or delete and block. :rocket: One note - we still have “Approved” and “app…

That’s a good point. I think we have to keep the word “Approve” to make sense with other terminology. Here’s what I went with: [image] https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/14f9d40e486c39e74abfacdebbda86db1a8afd70

Sweet! I just tried this to delete some spam users and it’s super clear and easy. Man, this is light years better than what we had before. Thank you again for taking on this mondo project and always looking out for us. :rocket:

I just dealt with a flagged topic, and was confused again by what to select in this interface. There is no indication before clicking what will happen, and I was not sure what to select. When I selected APPROVE (or was it AGREE? I forget) it showed a pulldown that seemed to indicate I was agreeing …

I have to agree (no pun intended) with this topic. Agree/Disagree confuses me when I occasionally do a review. I just disagreed and am not really sure what happened. Now that post is under “rejected” and I don’t really know what that means either (in both cases, is the question about the post or …

+1 from me. The whole agree/reject/:+1:/:-1: feels inconsistent to me and really forces me to carefully read both the flag reason and the action. As an extreme example, I’d much prefer a green and a red button for ‘keep this post’ and ‘nuke this post’. Regardless of the flagging reason, this would i…
