Bug #: 39818
Summary: Prevent anonymous users from moderating their posts
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ArticleFeedbackv5
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Our latest data analysis suggests that about 90% of readers who click on CTA 5
(View feedback page) end up marking their post as helpful (60%), unhelpful or
flagged.
As a result, we need to do something to reduce this significant amount of
gaming.
The easiest way to reduce that number quickly would be to start by preventing
users from moderating their *last* post. I suspect that it should not be too
hard to hide (or gray out) the helpful, unhelpful and flag links when we
display your last post at the top of the page, with the blue highlight. (If we
gray them out, we could display a message like "You cannot moderate your own
posts" when they click on the links.)
I believe that it would be much harder to keep track of all the posts that an
anon has made -- for the same reasons why it was not possible to let anons hide
their posts. (Though we may be tracking their last 20 posts in a cookie as part
of the throttling feature implemented by Mike Jackson at OmniTI, so that's
worth looking into.) If this turns out to be easier than we thought, that full
solution would be our best bet.
Matthias, look forward to your thoughts on these options and what is most
practical to do at this time.
