Crowd Moderation [Paid] 1.2.2

[dethfire]

Works with 1.5? Any plans for updates?

 

[Daniel Hood]

Yes it works with 1.5 as far as I know. I'm not, not updating it but there haven't been many suggestions for this that don't require a ton of work that I can't justify due to the lack of interest (and sales) it's generated thus far.

Is there something specific you'd like to see?

What happens to a post that gets sent to moderation, but then is allowed by staff and gets reported again. Does the thread gain immunity or will it be sent back to moderation again?

 

[Daniel Hood]

It clears the existing points and basically gives it a fresh start as if it were new content again. So, if it gets reported more to get enough points it could end up in the moderation queue again.

Can this be applied to a specific forum and not others? Our politics forum generates more reports than any other part of the site and it might be an interesting experiment to add crowd moderation to help remove some of the more unpleasant comments.

Cheers,
Shaun

Sort of. With the user group permission for adjusting the weighting, you could make it so it only works in specific forums. Just set everyones report points to 0 globally and then override it on a per node basis. Should work fine.

Nice one. Thanks Daniel.

@Daniel Hood

Any chance of getting this to send an alert or convo when a post is crowd moderated?

 

[Daniel Hood]

How would you determine who it goes to?

 

[Joe Link]

Just realized that was unclear

It'd go to the user who's content was crowd moderated. We could specify an account to send it from if need be.

Suggestion: It'd be great if there were a way to make the usergroup points cumulative.

• Registered: 1 pt
• Advanced Member (300 posts): 1pt
  
• Supporter: 1 pt
• Total Report Points: 3 pts

Possible Bug? In the moderation queue, the crowd moderated entry shows reports: 0.

That's not likely because of how it's using the permission system :/

Are reports visible in the report center?

No problem, probably better to keep it simple anyhow.

The reports are visible in the report center.

After doing some testing, I believe this is a bug with XenForo. Just to confirm (as I was able to reproduce with this on Xenmods.com), was the post that got put in moderation the first post in the thread?

Yep, it was.

 

[Daniel Hood]

Yep, it was.

Apparently that: "Reports: {number}" line isn't a core XenForo feature and a part of one of my other add-ons. I'll fix it in the correct add-on, soon.

Sounds good, no big deal.

One other thing members are reporting is when a post is crowd moderated it still shows up if it was quoted in another post. Any way around this?

No. That's a flaw in pretty much every aspect of quotes. Think about without the add-on, if the post is reported and you choose to delete the content. Posts that quote the content will still show it unless you edit those posts separately. There's not much way around it because there's no reference as to which posts quote which posts.

 

[Joe Link]

Alright, that's what I was afraid of. I'll instruct our mods to follow up.

This is such an awesome idea! Is there a possibility to have a "Ban user" option too, so members can privately "vote" if a user should be banned (ie, obvious troll) - and if it gets a certain number of points, user is banned?

Id be happy to donate to make this a reality. Thanks!
