I’m working on the design of a moderation dashboard for Discourse (accessible via the main admin dashboard).

- What moderation related stats or information do you currently monitor?
- What information do you wish you could monitor?

- **New Staff Notes**  
Mods currently don’t receive any kind of notice about newly added user notes. It’d be handy to have these in a feed.

- **Repeat offenders**  
List of users who’ve received multiple flags/warnings this week/month/year/all-time

- **Category changes**  
It’d be very handy to keep track of which categories are being switched most often.

Do you mean when a topic is moved from one category to another?

There have been concerns in the past about abuse of the post editing feature. I wonder if it would be useful to see a stream of post edits, with an indication of how much of the post was changed (characters added/removed?)

- **Flags per category**  
Does one category receive more flags than others?

- **Timing of flagged posts**  
Is there a certain time of day where bad posts are being created? _Note, this is not timing of the flags, but the time that the flagged post was created._

- **Time to handle flag**  
How long does it take for flags to be resolved.

Yeah. Not sure what the best display strategy is here. I’m interested in three things:

- How frequently are categories changed?
- Which category is changed the most? (too general? maybe the description is bad? simply at the top of the list?
- Which category is most frequently changed _to_?

Here’s a mockup. Keep in mind they should all be part of the same, 3-tabs widget:
