Notification of replies to moderation reports that you've commented on?

[kat]

Difficult to implement?

[kat]

Must be...

[NanoSector]

Guess not if you know how SMF's mail system works.

I can suggest quite a few improvements for the moderation center...

[kat]

I don't, no.

It just seemed, to me, to be a logical thing to have, really.

[NanoSector]

I don't, no.

Yeah that for sure. The moderation center is just a sad wannabe-forum in my eyes.

[kat]

Oh , there've been some good conversations, in there.

Some have been quite amusing, too.

[IchBin™]

You should perhaps put this in feature requests K@? The site team isn't going to add any features to the SMF forum without vetting it first as a mod or as a feature request IMO.

[NanoSector]

Moved it for ya.

[kat]

It wasn't meant as a feature for the SMF software. Just for here.

Lets make it something in the SMF software then
I think it should be in there by default anyway.

[kat]

You have a point.

But, as I was more concerned with having it here, moving it will probably ****** that idea up.

[kat]

Exactly.

[Arantor]

Personally I think any tweaks like this to the reporting system are band-aids, the entire thing needs a lot of reworking.

[kat]

Well, yes. There is that.

But, my suggestion would improve things a tiddly-widdly bit...

[ssullivan]

It is actually one of the things I miss the most on SMF. Actually, at first I thought I was stupid for not finding it (i mean, it's standard nowadays in almost every forum software).

[Kindred]

ssullivan, I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about

[kat]

The rest of his posts suggest the same.

I suspect that the front "S" may stand for "Spamtard".

[ssullivan]

I confused the feature with the subscribed thread notification one. Lack of sleep. However I feel there was no need to call me a spamtard...
And the S stands for Stephanie. May I ask you, why do "the rest of [my] posts suggest the same"? I'm curious.

[Kindred]

well, for one... SMF already does notification of subscribed threads... (and always has)

[Arantor]

@Kindred, which is of absolutely no use when you're talking about reported posts and comments you've made - something SMF notably lacks.

[Kindred]

oh, true, Arantor...
but the ssullivan user was apparently talking about standard post notification, not K@'s request for report notification.

Although I don't know about "notably lacks"...   it is true that it is not present, but is that lack "notable"? that's opinion.

[ssullivan]

Yes, I was talking about that. I could never find that feature, that's why, when seeing this post (and by my lack of sleep last night), I assumed it was a request to add such. I was wrong (my bad).

But if you see my previous posts (I've not posted that much...) you will see I have also been helpful. And I understand this is off-topic, but I don't like being called a spammer (just like you wouldn't, I suppose).

[kat]

Apologies.

Your posting style seemed, to me, to be very similar to some spammers that we've had, who post things in order to get their post-count up, so that they can put spammy links in their sigs.

Obviously, I was in error, with that.

No problem. And thanks a lot for clearing it up - didn't want to start here with such a tag.

[kat]

I believe we can safely say that the tag's been ripped-up and thrown out of the window, Stef.

My fault, entirely.

[4LP3RUZ1]

Sorry for the bump,

but any kind of news on this?

my moderators have been nagging me for a while for this exact feature

edit:
I guess sometimes silence can explain many things

[Arantor]

I'm thinking about it, OK?

[kat]

Yay!

[Arantor]

See, those who pay attention to Github will know exactly what's coming next and why this is entirely possible.

[kat]

I looked at GitHub, once.

I couldn't find a translator!

[4LP3RUZ1]

oh yay,

I guess I'll do a clean install somewhere and see whats going on in the smf git world

[Arantor]

*cough*

[kat]

It'd be useful, here, too, doncha fink?

[Arantor]

Here? Maybe. It would get complicated pretty fast to get this in as a mod (since it would have to PM everyone or send them emails and I'd hate both)

But in the core for 2.1 that's a different story entirely. I should note today I've been adding to that page to make it handle permissions - this item was by far the hardest work for it

[kat]

What made it so difficult, out of pure (non-coder) curiosity?

[Arantor]

PM and email are a pain to do as mods, especially email.

Then you have to get into the games of: who should be able to see a moderation report, so you can go find out who should be contacted for a reply, assuming they want some kind of alert - so you also have to have some way of storing and retrieving those preferences.

SMF 2.1 needs this built anyway and it isn't pretty.

[kat]

Oh, I think I see... it's all the "Who" stuff. Pulling all sorts of variables from all sorts of places?

Messy?

[Arantor]

Oh it is, even in 2.1. But in 2.1 I already have to build such stuff to make it work - but short of porting masses of 2.1 to a mod, it isn't going to happen here.

[kat]

I can appreciate the "Why", though, ta.

[Arantor]

Oh, I forgot to mention, this seems to be working just fine in 2.1

[kat]

I'll allow myself a quick "WoOt!", for that.
