AVID:Requests for Comment/Removal of the moderation extension

Remove the moderation extension?
I'm going to be really honest here; as efficient and successful the feature is, I highly think that its making editing on the wiki a lot more difficult. Not because the staff take their time (massive respect to them), this goes for the forums as well, it's very easy to get your edit mixed up with others considering there is so much sent to the queue and it can regardless get lost by mistake, meaning all the effort you put in your edit has basically been discarded and it is quite painful really. This may go for uploading images also in this same manner. I get that it's to prevent any sockpuppets and trolls from entering here, but I think implementing a feature that checks, detects, investigates and confirms your identity as you create a new account could work separately as well.

This is not a complaint. It's a kind of suggestion I wanted to bring out of my mind now considering it's been really quiet ever since the moderation extension had been enforced. I want to know what you all think! :) YouKonade (talk) 19:38, 23 April 2023 (UTC) 20:37, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

(P.S.: those of you formerly on Qualitipedia obviously know about this, dead on, ok I'll stop talking now)

Support
I agree. It is annoying now that we have to wait to see our changes. IdKid2027 (talk) 4:55 PM, 23 April 2023 (EDT)

 * , as the best we can do in identity checking is thru stewards with AVID:Requests for CheckUser, and the only reasoning that you've provided is that it makes the forums harder to edit, with the only support vote literally being "I don’t like waiting". From our (staff's) perspective, the Moderation extension has done exactly what we needed it to do. We've cut back on vandalism significantly, and I've personally seen very little complaining beyond this RFC. In short, I don't think this proposal was thought out enough, leaving me with little choice but to oppose. Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (Lets chat!) 21:20, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
