Include a copy of entry with all moderation queue messages

Title:
Include a copy of entry with all moderation queue messages

Area:
communities, entries, notifications

Summary:
When a community moderator approves your community entry, that notification should also include the subject and contents of the entry.

Description:
Currently, entries that are rejected from the moderation queue have the contents of the entry included below the rejection message.

This would also be useful for notifications of approved submissions. As it is, if you have forgotten what you wrote, or especially if you have submitted multiple entries to that community (up to 5 per user in a paid community), you have to click through to re-read it. This isn't always convenient.

A notification is already being sent to the user, so it wouldn't add any more mail jobs, just add to the bulk of the existing mail job and retrieve the entry and comment.

It would increase the load on the user's mailbox/data transfer, but not by more than another emailed comment notification for the same entry, and if they're getting the notification by email, that is probably a slightly lighter load than loading the page with that entry in a browser.

I wouldn't mind it not having the full contents, just to avoid the huge volumes, but the subject would definitely be useful.

Agreed, but I often don't put in a subject line--hence my suggestion just below yours. (Didn't see yours til afterward!)

Either as-is, or subject + the first X number of words in the message.

My w/ changes: have this as a check box (Include original entry?) when you accept/reject the entry.

Can you explain why? I don't see how it affects the moderator one way or the other (they're not hiding the contents of the entry on an approved entry, the submitter can always go to the journal to see what they wrote) and the moderator isn't going to be marked as spam and have their e-mail delivery affected, and the moderator isn't going to get an e-mail and get their e-mail clogged. So why the toggle that the moderator can control?

"the submitter can always go to the journal to see what they wrote"

Adding extra steps. Keeping the path short is generally a Good Idea. I agree with aedifica's comment.

I wanted 90degrees to explain their rationale, and pointing that this is info the moderator isn't hiding from the submitter, so why should the moderator control it?

[personal profile] thnidu 2012-01-31 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. But part of your justification -- "the submitter can always go to the journal to see what they wrote" -- suggests that you're opposing not just the moderator's option, but the whole proposal.

That is, it sure looks like you're saying "Why give the moderator an option to include the entry at all? The submitter can always go look at the rejected submission." And that's the extra step I was talking about.

And for that matter (and I don't know how it works on DW), if the moderator rejects a submission, will the submitter be able to go to the journal and see it?

You misread my question. I think the original suggestion is fine. I don't understand 90 degree's modificationand wanted them to explain it.

Ooooops! I didn't read the proposal carefully enough. Sorry about the wasted time, folks.

I'm very happy you asked, Zvi, because, tbh, I can't remember what my reasoning was and I can't see why I'd object to this now. I think I was seeing this from the POV of the submitter and not wanting longer emails than needed or something like that but that sounds pretty silly (and inconsistent with other notifications) in retrospect and I'm going to change my vote. :) Thanks again.

I like getting contents - one of the things I like about PM on DW is that you get the content of the PM and not just a notification that one exists.
