Reverting vandalism

Is there a chance that we might get an "Undo edit" or "Revert" button when editing an item? I've just been fixing some vandalism edits, and it would be faster & easier if I could just revert the change back to the previous edit, instead of having to re-research the correct product name & product description. (I realize there would be a lot of programming work required to make that happen though!)

Also, might want to flag user sbs_bang for vandalism, eg on Lounge Lizard Session: https://equipboard.com/items/aas-lounge-lizard-session

agreed

I saw that mess last night. Why not just ban the user outright when it's that malicious and egregious?

Maybe have a Vanadisim Queue similar to the Duplicate Item Queue where users flag a vandal's submission and an admin fixes it?

This would be useful for recovering old sources, for review or re-inclusion.

Another good idea!

Oh man, that guy! What does “stop leaking” even mean? I let the mods know about him last night and Michael cleaned it up.

I spent way too much time (well, 3 minutes) trying to figure out what that meant and give the benefit of the doubt - I wondered if it was a jaded developer who thought this was a warez site leaking downloads (obviously not), or thought that I'd listed an unannounced product ahead of embargo (nope). I eventually settled on "some people just want to watch the world burn" :)

Thanks for that! Luckily I only saw it on one item, I would've hated to see dozens of my submissions disappear and have to do them again. For the moment I like keeping my Gear IQ stuck at (Neve) 1073...

Okay so I got in some kind of trouble. An Akai 2000 was submitted to TY DOLLA SIGN https://equipboard.com/pros/tydolla-ign/akai-mpc-2000?src=link and meanwhile the source was set to private and could not be accessed, I left a needs improvement comment a while ago but changes were not made so I decided to change the source and the description with one of his NPR videos, but after changing them, I realized that he looks like he's using an Akai 2000XL (judging by buttons' colors because a red label seems to cover the "00XL") not a 2000 so I'm wondering if the original post was legit meaning that he used 2000 in that video and he uses the XL in this one or if the wrong item was submitted from the start.... Now what am I supposed to do?

Hi Andinomm - I wouldn't stress, that's definitely not vandalism & you've improved the listing!

I was going to suggest you could add a comment on the page about the original missing source, but I see you've done that already too. That's useful for others looking at the listing. If you're sure it's an MPC 2000 XL in that video, you could maybe add that as a new gear item to TYDOLLA$IGN with the same source video (bonus points!). Then if you feel like it, go for a hunt for other videos where he might have used a regular MPC 2000 instead?

Kudos on the attention to detail, you've put more thought into this than many others would have.

Adding a +1 for this idea of a vandalism/spam queue. I found a user submitting essay spam today (equipboard.com/sonampte) and I'd love to flag the account to go into a moderation queue. Maybe restrict the spam flag option to users with a certain Gear IQ threshold if we're worried about false reports clogging the queue?
