But “flag post” does not. If I click a flag icon, then a flag should be created.
Do you do moderation of a forum? I an sure that any experienced moderator would understand why it is important for an easily accessible record to be created for any such action.
And of course any of us who are unfortunate enough to be responsible for preparing a DSA transparency report from the already far from ideal data provided by the Discourse framework will understand it even more.
Thanks for pointing this out! You are absolutely correct. I see now that the behavior I describe does not occur when the “Hide Post” action is selected. It only occurs when one of the other actions is selected. The fact that a review item is created by the “Take Action” feature under certain conditions makes it seem the failure to create a review item under other conditions is a bug. I did test the instructions I provided while writing the feature request, but I must have made a mistake during the test. I apologize for the confusion.
We don’t actually use the "Hide Post” action on my forum, so I don’t have experience with those specific conditions, but I chose it as the easiest to use in a quick experiment.
I have updated the instructions in the feature report accordingly.
