Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Goal
- Decrease the impact of inappropriate content classifications by retaining unwanted posts instead of discarding them - if supported.
Details
- Very rarely (as in: 1 in ~10,000+), a post may be inappropriately classified and blocked as spam.
- If that happens, most users don't really recognize that those other ~9,999+ posts were successfully and appropriately classified as ham or spam.
- Discarded posts cannot be restored, so any false-positive cannot be corrected.
- However, some protected forms allow to retain unwanted posts (as unpublished) instead of discarding them.
Change proposal
- Make "Retain" the default option value for forms that support it.
(i.e., just the default, can still be changed to "Discard")
- Iterate from there.
(e.g., figure out ways to only retain posts that are worth to retain, implement a better basic moderation queue, etc)
Notes
- This change proposal is likely heading into the same direction as ongoing/future demands for Mollom Moderation integration will.
