This commit fixes an issue where clicking the default
"Take Action" option on a flag for a post doesn't always
end up with the post hidden.
This is because the "take_action" score bonus doesn’t take into account
the final score required to hide the post.
Especially with the `hide_post_sensitivity` site setting set to `low`
sensitivity, there is a likelihood the score needed to hide the post
won’t be reached.
Now, the default "Take Action" button has been changed to "Hide Post"
to reflect what is actually happening and the description has been
improved, and if "Take Action" is clicked we _always_ hide the post
regardless of score and sensitivity settings. This way the action reflects
expectations of the user.
If a user somehow is looking at an old version of the page and attempts
to like a post they already like. Display a more reasonable error message.
Previously we would display:
> You are not permitted to view the requested resource.
New error message is:
> Oops! You already performed this action. Can you try refreshing the page?
Triggering this error condition is very tricky, you need to stop the
message bus. A possible reason for it could be bad network connectivity.
We have not used anything related to bookmarks for PostAction
or UserAction records since 2020, bookmarks are their own thing
now. Deleting all this is just cleaning up old cruft.
This fixes a corner case of the perf optimization in d4e35f5.
When you have the the same post showing in multiple tab/devices and like
said post in one place, we updated the like count but didn't flip the
`acted` bool in the front-end. This caused a small visual desync.

I plan to use this in an upcoming discourse-reactions PR, where I want to like a post without notifying the user, so I can instead create a reaction notification.
Additionally, we decouple the a11y attributes from the icon itself, which will let us extend the widget's icon without losing them.
PERF: Update like count in visible posts without an extra GET per like
Currently when a user is reading a topic and some post in it receive a
like from another user, the Ember app will be notified via MessageBus
and issue a GET to `/posts/{id}` to get the new like count. This worked
fine for us until today, but it can easily create a self-inflicted DDoS
when a topic with a large number of visitors gets a large number of
likes, since we will issue `visitors * likes` GET requests requests.
This patch optimizes this flow, by sending the new like count down in
the MessageBus notification, removing any need for the extra request.
It shouldn't cause any drift on the count because we send down the full
count instead of the difference too.
Possible follow-ups could include handling like removal.
When a post is flagged with the reason of 'Something Else' a brief message can be added by the user which subsequently creates a `meta_topic` private message. The group `moderators` is automatically added to this topic.
If category group moderation is enabled, and the post belongs to a category with a reviewable group, that group should also be added to the meta_topic.
Note: This extends the `notify_moderators` logic, and will add the reviewable group to the meta_topic, regardless of the settings of that group.
Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
Staff can send a post to the review queue by clicking the "Flag Post" button next to "Take Action...". Clicking it flags the post using the "Notify moderators" score type and hides it. A custom message will be sent to the user.
FIX: prevent re-flagging when we have reviewed flags before
Fixes an edge case where a review can be reflagged when:
User flags as inappropriate.
Moderator rejects the flag.
Another user re-flags the post as spam.
Before, anyone was able to re-flag as inappropriate despite it being flagged
previously. With this, users are unable to re-flag for the same reason
regardless of reviewable status.
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
Forums without previously calculated scores would return the same values
for low/medium/high sensitivity. Now those are scaled based on the
default value.
The default value has also been changed from 10.0 to 12.5 based on
observing data from live discourse forums.
Prior to the new review queue there were a couple special cases where
posts would be auto hidden:
* If a TL3 or above flagged a TL0 post as spam
* If a TL4 or above flagged a non-staff, non-TL4 post as spam, inappropriate or off
topic.
These cases are now removed in favour of the scoring system.
When a user liked, unliked and liked again the same post, the poster
would receive a notification such as "X and X liked ...". This happened
because PostActionNotifier.post_action_created was called twice.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.
