This isn’t a bug, obviously, but it is something that is unclear when used by moderators and I can’t imagine it isn’t a simple fix.

I got infracted the other day and a post was pulled. That’s perfectly fine. Another couple of posts, however, were “edited by Moderator,” and from what I can tell nothing at all was changed. This creates a false impression and potentially creates a stigma around those posters who were “edited.” I spent several minutes trying to figure out what was changed so I could avoid making the same mistake in the future only to realize my post was fine and in fact technically Moderator approved.

My suggestion is, if a post is reviewed by a moderator and no change is deemed necessary, the post should read “Reviewed by Moderator,” not edited. This lets people that flag feel like someone paid attention and prevents those who are flagged from looking like someone got all up in their business for no reason.

If a mod wants to retitle my thread something more appropriate, have at it.

Your thread title is fine. And thanks for that feedback. We can work on our messaging; it’s something we’ve been fine-tuning for a while since we started overhauling the system. Thanks for the feedback!

Would very much like to agree with this sentiment. I think a slightly different message is a great idea and might overall improve the positivity of the forums as people would perceive many posts with less negative of a view.
