To be honest, I'm really not sure what mod powers I even have on Lemmy. The things that stick out to me are:
Edit sub 'about' page
Lock threads
Ban users, also view banned users and un-ban
Thank you for making Sync + Lemmy and thank you for working so hard to make it user/mod friendly!
You can already lock threads + ban users.
Viewing currently banned would be a great addition along with editing the about page. Cheers!
Adding in here because this is what prompted the idea, the ability to see history of similar offences. For example a post be user X is reported for spam, in the report it would show the report for spam, and also show that they have been reported 2 times for spam in the past. Would help a lot on finding repeat offenders, though I'd definitely a "nice to have" and not a feature to dedicate much time to for the initial mod tools release
Yes, I think something where we can see user history of mod actions would be nice. Maybe after a certain number of actions it could hightlight them in some way so we can keep an eye out. I dunno, maybe that's too "big brother" though.
That's awesome! Would you mind walking me through locking/banning? I thought I explored all the options but this is my first time being a mod and using Sync so it's been a ton of information.
Edit: Is there a FAQ or documentation I can read? Sorry for all the noob questions.
There's no FAQ at the moment.
If you're a mod of a community a little shield will show for posts and comments:
And you can ban from there:
That's beautiful. Thank you for the great explanation!
So ya, maybe a Mod FAQ would be helpful for new mods who don't know all the features like that person you just talked to as well.
