| Dec 8, 2023 at 21:24 | comment | added | Makyen Mod | In general, instead of manually bringing such discussions to moderator attention, I, personally, would prefer to see users using the Contact Us page to report such Discussions (in addition to flagging). Doing so should actually bring the Discussion to the CMs attention. It should also have the effect of documenting how much extra effort is having to be expended because SO, for some unknown reason, chose not to continue with the concept of community moderation. | |
| Dec 8, 2023 at 21:19 | comment | added | Makyen Mod | @TylerH As far as I'm aware, it's still supposed to be entirely handled by CMs. However, flags in Discussions don't get handled all that quickly by the CMs, based on the reports from users of spam and R/A content I've seen here on MSO and in Charcoal HQ. Moderators care about removing spam and R/A content. So, once we found where the delete button was hidden (yes, it's actually hidden on a different page), we delete it when we see it, but we only see it when it's brought to our attention, which flagging doesn't do, as those flags are only shown when we visit the specific flagged discussion. | |
| Dec 8, 2023 at 21:08 | comment | added | TylerH | @Makyen Maybe when it was announced, but didn't it end up being moderator-managed once it launched? | |
| Dec 8, 2023 at 21:01 | comment | added | Makyen Mod | @TylerH "moderators have been expected to moderate discussions" is incorrect. When the Discussions feature was introduced, SO moderators were very explicitly told by the CMs that there was no expectation that moderators would be moderating Discussions and that all moderation would be completely handled by CMs. I'm not trying to disclaim responsibility. I'm just explaining what we've been told. If flagging had been implemented in a manner similar to how it is on posts and comments, the added workload of moderation would have been quite small, so wouldn't have been of much concern. | |

| Dec 8, 2023 at 19:15 | comment | added | Fastnlight | I edited my question to make it not a duplicate. I am aware of said other thread, but that thread is talking about a permanent solution. One that will require time to think about and implement. What I am suggesting is a quick and simple temporary solution to combat spam. | |
