Improve forum behavior for posted or edited comments

[domske]

Currently a comment is hidden until it is approved. Annoying, but ok. But why hide the entire post if you've edited it? At least show the latest version until the new changes are approved by a moderator. I only changes one character. I'm not sure how long it takes to review. Seems to be very long.

Are all users moderated? I mean, do all comments have to be approved before they are visible? Or is this only for new users? Is there a score value or other indicator to set on user profile to be trusted? Or accept all comments and let users report posts that violate the rules. Less effort for you. A few bad apples shouldn't annoy the others.

This happened to me with an "Idea" I posted. I updated part of it that had some statistics and it became hidden until it could be reviewed. Annoying, but perhaps necessary given how much spam there is on the web??

Also, comments on Idea posts are moderated before they appear.

I don't think Discussion posts are pre-moderated.

Yes to me too! (Multiple edits and new suggestions awaiting approval for a long time).

I also don't seem to have my comments showing up (with one from way back in 2023 on a popular idea post "JPEG XL" is still awaiting approval.) Unsure if this will post. Maybe need to contact a mod.

Edit: This showed up! Neat. I guess it's just ideas or certain popular ones that are especially moderated.
