Here’s a laundry list of sort with tons of tools we’d like to see

  • Role for approval of applications (to delegate)
  • Site mods (to delegate from admins)
  • Auto-report posts with certain keywords or domains (for easier time curating without reports)
  • Statistics on growth (user, comments, posts, reports)
    • User total
    • MUA
    • User retention
    • Number of comments
    • Number of posts
    • Number of reports open
    • Number of reports resolved
  • Sort reports
    • by resolved/open
    • by local/remote
  • Different ways to resolved a report
    • Suspend account for a limited amount of time rather than just banning
    • Send warning
  • Account mod info
    • Number of ‘strikes’ (global and local) and reports
    • Moderation notes
    • Change email
    • Change password
    • Change role
  • Ability to pin messages in a post
  • Admins should be able to purge
  • Filter modlog to local
  • Better federation tools (applications to communities, limiting)
    • Applications to communities to allow safe spaces to exist (people should not be able to just “walk in” on a safe space - similarly to follow requests in Mastodon in a way)
    • Limiting (Lock our communities down from certain instances but still allow people using our instance to talk to people from those instances)

Obviously considering the moment when this is being made - federation tools are our highest priority.

    Yeah, the issue is people without email but also people with the wrong email. I’ve caught quite a few typos from our email server not being able to send their approval because the email had a typo. I did send them manually and tell them the error they made.

    So, I guess we could just change email but I don’t see quite the difference in terms of abuse with regards to change password if I could simply change someone’s email and get it anyways.

      People providing a broken email also make the approval hang. it works approving them, but the admin gui hangs with a spinning icon until you do a full page refresh.
