Question

How do you manage your moderation queue?


Curious to know how other admins manage their moderation queue in the admin portion of the site.

When you read an item -- or manually mark it as “read” -- it seems to disappear from the queue (at least until a new comment comes in). 

I’d like to maintain a zero moderation queue list, and I am curious if others do this, and what the most efficient way is to work in the moderation overview section.

@mcooksey  I like to have a clean que as well, here’s my typical flow:

  1. Check pending/reported sections first.
  2. Check my “unread by last activity” view that I have saved, make any edits to titles/body/tags needed for those posts, and then mark them with the label “In progress JK” (my initials) if they require a response or something else after allowing time for other Community members to respond (we try to give them 24 hours).
  3. I then check all “in progress JK” posts from the day before, search for duplicate ideas/threads in the Community, and then respond if other members have not responded.
  4. Once handled I mark the posts with the label “Done JK.”
  5. I also have labels for escalation, posts with support tickets open, and a “helpful” label for all “best practices” posts.
  6. Then I just refresh the view “unread sorted by last activity” throughout the day.

This is super helpful! Thank you!
