🔧 Build First Moderation Tools

[robin-macpherson]

Background

• We currently have two amazing moderators, Linda and Emily, but unfortunately we haven't been able to give them any particular tools yet and so in order to take any action outside of advising a user on the platform they need to go through me.
• This is of course slower, it defeats part of the purpose of having moderators, and it also may make them feel like they don't actually have much additional power, responsibility, or trust as moderators.

Proposal

• Let's build some basic admin tools that can be used for some basic user and content management
• These should of course be behind a protected route that requires userRole of MODERATOR or ADMIN to access, and then certain actions can be made available to the two roles
• Would like to discuss what the best first actions we can make available should be. Some initial ideas:
  • Flag a post for admin review (spam, hate speech, or other breaches of the WIP community guidelines/terms of use)
  • Flag a comment or post comment for the same reasons
