Someone posted a personal attack in one of their posts on the Discourse forum I’m using, and I flagged it as “Inappropriate” a minute after it was posted. The post was edited shortly after and the personal attack was removed – there is no edited pencil icon for the post since it was edited so quickl…

Oops, fix is on the way. Fixed: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/094f7a73d5c6961c2761cabb6a2332645e5fa493

[image] Drew_Warwick: there is no edited pencil icon Yeah edits within grace period are invisible and not logged anywhere except for the Rails logs which are very hard to get to. I follow the concern here but the issue is very rare. Long term we can start storing grace period edits and then …

If it’s a real problem just set grace period to zero. Then all edits are logged forever even trivial, 5-seconds-later type. Nothing necessary to do here, reallly.

Just to provide a bit more detail. It depends on the flag you use. In this case using Inappropriate would not have shown the moderators the exact verbiage, but using Something Else would have, as the Message moderators would have received would have one-boxed the post in question (assuming it was in…

[image] cpradio: Might be off my rocker here, but what if, we changed the logic for the grace edit window to only apply if no flags are on the given post and it is within the edit time frame? This is an excellent suggestion, grace period should simply reset after a post is flagged. It elimina…

Thinking on this a bit more, I believe we just recently had a similar scenario (ping @Mittineague and @Technobear who dealt with it on our instance – or at least noticed it). Granted it does seem super rare that this occurs, but part of me feels that way because those who are handling these type of…

I have been doing some “paper trail” testing on my localhost. There are a few settings that might be involved and I haven’t tested all the different possibilities. Admin -> Settings -> Posting editing grace period {300} For (n) seconds after posting, editing will not create a new version in t…

[image] Mittineague: BTW I can no longer find the “edit history public” setting in Profile Preferences, I could be missing something, and it could be this has changed and may be involved with the problem. That preference is only available when edit history visible to public is turned off. Bas…

[image] riking: “the edit grace period is expired if there’s an active flag on the post”. Sure sounds good to me, @techapj can you add this to your list? Low priority.

Hmm this is not what was discussed, grace period should be zero but not disable editing entirely…

Do moderators see the latest version of a flagged post when reviewing reports or the post as it was when it was flagged?
