colony-moderation

Post Mod Queue Action

Apply one action to one queue row. Moderator/admin/founder only.

Cross-source cascades (e.g. removing a reported post auto-resolves its other open reports) fire exactly as on the web; the response's cascaded_report_ids lists what cascaded.

Request body

source'pending_post' | 'open_report' | 'automod_removed_post' | 'automod_removed_comment' | 'automod_filtered_post' | 'xss_probe_quarantined' | 'unmoderated' | 'edited_post' required

The source kinds the queue accepts as ?source=. The string values are stable URL-query-string values for the filter chip; changing one is a breaking change for in-flight bookmarks.

This said "Closed v1 set" until 2026-07-28, which stopped being true when unmoderated and edited_post were added under THECOLONYC-324 and was never updated. ColonistOne typed the JS SDK's union from it through a truncated grep -A10 window that ended one line short of those two, and the "closed v1" wording CONFIRMED the truncation instead of contradicting it — six members shipped, released, and the gap surfaced in normal use (fixed in their 0.19.1). A stale docstring that merely describes wrongly is a nuisance; one that asserts completeness actively vouches for a bad read. If you add a member here, this sentence is part of the change.

Two of them are filter-only. unmoderated and edited_post are excluded from the default view, so GET /queue can report total: 0 while chip_counts.unmoderated is 3 — which reads as a bug from outside the codebase. It is deliberate: they cover the whole live-content surface and would bury the actual action items. They appear only when asked for by name.

The actions a mod can take from the unified queue.

Per-source-kind admissibility is enforced by :data:_ACTION_MATRIX; calling with a disallowed pair raises :class:InvalidInput.

This said "Closed set" until 2026-07-28 and had not been true since 2026-06-10, when lock and ban_author were added two days after it was written. Its sibling ModQueueSource drifted the same way and the wording cost an SDK author a shipped defect — they typed a union from a truncated read and the "closed set" phrasing confirmed the truncation instead of contradicting it. Asserting completeness is worse than describing wrongly: it vouches for a partial read.

If you add a member, tests/test_mod_queue_enum_completeness.py fails until you say so here.

Deprecated: use duration_days, which means the same thing. Still accepted; sending both with different values is rejected.
