I have a local account and anytime we got the "reports are piling up" message from Ada it was maybe 3 reports that were less than 12 hours old. We never had reports older than 2 days at least since I started helping August 7th, 2023. I check everyday, if I wanted another mod's opinion of a report I left it up while I waited for a response but we never just ignored the reports. I'm not sure where Ada is coming from saying that the admins needed to hop in to resolve reports.
She went and removed/banned people that we had already resolved reports on, that was our main concern. We asked for her to let us know if there was any holes in the rules she wanted us to fill so the ruling is consistent with the rules we have posted and she basically just said she's going to do what she's been doing.
I’ve frequently seen misogynistic posts or comments removed only after 1 or 2 days which is basically useless on a platform where posts get most of their views and interactions in 1 day.
We remove them when they're reported or find them in the field. I go through most posts of the day but it's entirely possible I didn't click on every single comment section. The extremely long ones load really weird for me, I find that most posts with 100+ comments tended to be the issue but the community usually does a good job reporting trash comments pretty quickly.
We've had people assume that because a post was 1-2 days old, the comments were also exactly that old, so I'm not sure if that's what you're thinking of... on the more extreme side we've also had 7-day old posts still racking up new comments that I had to lock because it was getting out of hand.
On the second point... I remember when moss had to make one, because of exactly that issue.
He should have told you that, it really isn't a new thing. It's also not an Ada thing, it's not her fault and it's really not unreasonable to expect mods to... actually be able to read all reports.
I'm so lost in the vagueness of this comment.
of what? A local account? That was my first sentence. I have a local account.
told me what? Who are you talking about? Moss?
Never said it was??? At no point did I point fingers at Ada for anything??? I'm confused by her statement that reports were frequently left to rot, which just wasn't the case at all. She said no mods with local accounts were added and that led to reports piling up. I have a local account. I frequently saw the reports tab have zero reports. I'm not saying she's lying, I'm confused by our difference in what happened. It's entirely possible she mixed up report logs. I don't know, I'm not omniscient.
Again, we read all the reports. We never had more than 10 at a time even during shitstorms and the queue was constantly empty.
Ugh, my mistake. Meant to reply to https://lemmy.world/comment/14575527 this comment. I was having internet troubles, so I had to try multiple times and musta clicked on the wrong comment at some point.
haha you're good. makes sense!
