I love the new unified review queue but I noticed a slightly confusing UX pattern when processing a lot of items in a row.
You might review several flagged posts that ask “Is this post spam?” where clicking Yes means taking action against the post (with a confirmation). Then the next item asks “Approve this topic?” where clicking Yes does the opposite (without confirmation).
When you’re scrolling through the queue quickly, it’s easy to build up muscle memory and accidentally click Yes and approve a topic when you actually meant “Yes, this is spam.”
Thanks for the feedback, I can see how that could happen… do you think it would make sense to flip things around so we’re more consistently asking to confirm a problem?
We already ask: Is this post [spam, inappropriate, etc]?
And to flip around the “approve this topic?” situation… I guess we would instead ask “Is there anything wrong with this topic?” then yes would consistently be “yes something’s wrong” right?
Definitely. I’m not sure what the best copy would be, but flipping the language so Yes always means “take action against this post” feels like the best approach.
