Add a sidebar to the modqueue page that shows the following information:
* Number of pending and flagged posts.
* Number of posts disapproved for poor quality or breaking rules.
* Top uploaders in the queue.
* Top artist, copyright, and character tags in the queue.
* Include appeals and flags.
* Avoid an existence query for pools.
* Avoid a query checking if the user has previously approved the post.
This is a rare condition and it will be prevented anyway if the user
tries to reapprove the post.
* Change the `disapproval:<reason>` metatag to `disapproved:<reason>`.
* Change `disapproved:<reason>` to show all posts disapproved for a
given reason, not just those disapproved by the current user.
* Allow searching for your own disapprovals with `disapproved:<my_name>`.
* Drop the `disapproved:<any|none>` metatags. `disapproved:any` is
equivalent to `disapproved:<my_name>` and `disapproved:none` is
equivalent to `-disapproved:<my_name>`.
These changes are so that you can search e.g. disapproved:poor_quality
to find all posts disapproved for poor quality.
Remove the nag message when an approver hasn't approved anything
recently. Also remove the modqueue random posts page. As of 3d410398a,
inactive approvers are now warned via dmails.
Send weekly warning dmails to approvers in danger of losing their
approver permissions. Don't send warnings if we're more than three weeks
away from demotion so that approvers aren't warned prematurely.
Set the sender name and IP addresses explicitly in the controller rather
than implicitly in the model.
Fixes cases where automated dmails from DanbooruBot had their IP
addresses set to the person who triggered the dmail, even though they
didn't actually send the dmail themselves.
Refactor to use a recursive CTE to calculate implied tags in SQL, rather
than storing them in a descendant_names field. This avoids the
complexity of keeping the stored field up to date. It's also more
flexible, since it allows us to find both descendant tags (tags that
imply a given tag) as well as ancestor tags (tags that are implied by a
given tag).
Remove the edit, update, and approve endpoints for tag aliases and
implications. These have been useless since individual alias and
implication requests were removed. Aliases and implications could only
be edited or approved if they were in the pending state, which is no
longer possible.
Also remove unused new alias/implication request forms.
* Allow approvers to approve a post by tagging it with status:active.
* Allow approvers to ban a post by tagging it with status:banned.
* Allow approvers to unban a post by tagging it with -status:banned.
Remove `POST /moderator/post/undelete` endpoint. Replace it with
`POST /post_approvals` instead.
Fixes it so that undeleting a post has the same behavior as approving a
post. Namely, it reloads the page instead of just flashing a "Post was
undeleted" message.
Remove the creator_id field from artists, notes, and pools. The
creator_id wasn't otherwise used and was inconsistent with the
artist/note/pool history in some cases, especially for old artists.
Remove the post update count estimate from BUR show pages. This was
complex, slow, and usually inaccurate since it assumed that requests in
a BUR had no overlap with each other, which usually wasn't the case.
Refactor to use accepts_nested_attributes_for instead of the notes
attribute to facilitate editing wikis on the artist edit page.
This fixes the notes attribute unintentionally showing up in the API.
This also changes it so that renaming an artist entry doesn't
automatically rename the corresponding wiki page. This had bad behavior
when there was a conflict between wiki pages (the wikis would be
silently merged, which usually isn't what you want). It also didn't warn
about wiki links being broken by renames.
Remove various associated fields that were included by default on
certain endpoints. API users can use the only param to include the
full association if they need these fields.
* /artists.json: urls.
* /artist_urls.json: artist.
* /comments.json: creator_name and updater_name.
* /notes.json: creator_name.
* /pools.json: creator_name.
* /posts.json: uploader_name, children_ids, pixiv_ugoira_frame_data.
* /post_appeals.json: is_resolved.
* /post_versions.json: updater_name.
* /uploads.json: uploader_name.
* Automatically generate a mod report when a comment, forum post, or
dmail is detected as spam.
* Automatically ban users that receive too many automatic spam reports
within a short window of time.
* Automatically mark spam dmails as deleted.
* Change ban threshold from 10 spam reports in 24 hours to 10 reports in 1 hour.
* Change ban length from 3 days to forever.
Fix a couple security issues related to dmail permalinks. Dmails have a
permalink that you can give to a Mod to let them read the dmail. This is
done with a key param that grants access when the dmail is opened by
another user. The key param had several problems:
* The key contained a full copy of the message's title and body encoded in
base64. This meant that anyone given a dmail permalink could read the
full dmail just by decoding the key in the link, without even having
to open the link.
* The key was derived from the dmail's title and body. If you knew or
could guess a dmail's title and body you could open the dmail. One
case when this was possible was when sending dmails. You could send
someone a dmail, take the permalink from your sent copy of the dmail,
then increment the dmail id to open the receiver's copy of the dmail.
Since the sent copy and the received copy both had the same title and
body, they both had the same dmail key. This let you check whether a
person had read your dmail, and what time they read it at.
* The key verification was done with an insecure string comparison
rather than a secure constant-time comparison. This was potentially
vulnerable to timing attacks.
* Opening a dmail belonging to another user would mark it as read for them.
The fix to all this is to use the dmail's id as the key instead of the
dmail's title and body. This means that old permalinks no longer work.
This is unavoidable given the issues above.
Other changes:
* The name of the 'Permalink' link is now 'Share'.
* Anyone with the 'Share' link can view the dmail, not just Mods.
* Add ability to mark dmails as unread.
* Fix users.unread_dmail_count to not count deleted dmails.
* Fix show action so that API calls don't mark dmails as read.
* Don't show the unread dmail notice on the /dmails page itself.
* Stop using users.has_mail flag.
Turn deletions into soft deletions (set the is_deleted flag) instead of
hard deletions (remove from database). The is_deleted flag actually
already existed, but it was never used before.
Fix bulk update requests generating invalid [bur:<id>] links in forum
posts. The id was missing because the BUR created the forum topic in a
before_create hook, which created the post before the BUR was saved so
the BUR didn't have an id yet. Fix regression caused by b4ce2d83.
Avoid doing one SQL query per topic when checking for new topics on the
forum index.
This also changes it so that forum topics aren't always marked as new
for anonymous users.
* Rarely used (only used ~15 times in total, not used at all since 2015-2016).
* Merging topics didn't properly bump the new topic.
* Merging topics didn't log a modaction when the old topic was deleted.
* Merging topics broke the old topic. Moving all the posts from one topic
to another leaves the old topic with zero posts. This normally can't
happen and it causes exceptions when you try to view the empty topic.
* It was technically possible to merge a topic with itself. This would
break the response_count.
* It was technically possible for a mod to merge a topic into an
admin-only topic.
Few people used forum subscriptions (only around 100), and even fewer
people were subscribed to active threads. Most subscriptions were for
old threads that will never be bumped again. The implementation also had
a few problems:
* Unsubscribe links in emails didn't work (they unset the user's
receive_email_notifications flag, but forum subscriptions didn't
respect this flag).
* Some users had invalid email addresses, which caused notifications to
bounce. There was no mechanism for preventing bounces.
* The implementation wasn't scalable. It involved a daily linear scan
over _all_ forum subscriptions looking for any topics that had been updated.
Few people used dmail filters (~900 users in 5 years) and even fewer
used them correctly. Most people used them to try to block dmail spam,
but usually they either blocked too much (by adding common words that
are present in nearly all dmails, causing all mails to them to be
filtered) or too little (blocking specific email addresses or urls,
which usually are never seen again after the spammer is banned).
Nowadays the spam detection system does a better job of filtering spam.
