This comes up surprisingly often, but this comment chain in the recent AMA prompted me to start a general discussion to maybe put this discussion to rest.
The only other place I’m aware that this has been discussed in detail is this pull request from 2023, which the creator ultimately closed.
What I’m ultimately in favour of, and what actually gets requested (one, two, three), is letting mods edit the metadata around a post. Things like the NSFW toggle, or post tags in 1.0.
But I’m throwing this out to the floor. What, if anything, do you think mods should be able to change about a user’s content?
it seems useful, but I think it should appear in the moderation log. and the log entries relating to a post should be visible on the post’s page, possibly by clicking an item in an overflow menu
but mod editing probably should be limited to metadata.
