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 flagging system and terminology as it was in the past and still today don’t have to interact with it very often. I also am a self-diagnosed slysdexic, for sure. As a result,when on that interface my mouse cursor or finger often hovers indecisively over the two buttons not being sure which one to choose.
I have to remember to tell myself the buttons mean:
Approve (keep flagged user or post)
Reject (delete user or post)
The buttons do NOT mean:
Approve (delete user or post)
Reject (keep user or post)
In case I am not alone in my confusion here, I’d suggest including text like the above on the button itself or at least in mouseover helper text. Perhaps there could even be a short para somewhere on the review queue page explaining how to use it, or a link to a guide here on meta that explains how moderators are expected to use the review queue.
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 click on the Agree or Delete buttons, you do get some more detailed descriptions of what will happen.
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.
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:
Approve Reject
To:
Grant Access Delete User…
Where Delete User would pop up to say “Delete the User” and “Delete and block”
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.
One note - we still have “Approved” and “approved by..” in various places in the UX, like on the user admin settings. Maybe you want to make the connection clearer?
