Hi folks,
I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on being able to undo a XEP-0425
moderation action.
The use cases I have in mind are:
- admin accidentally moderated the wrong message
- one admin moderates a message, but after consideration/discussion
with other admins, it is decided it shouldn't have been moderated
- reverting automated moderation after human review
This last point is the one that sparked this email, however I have
experienced the other cases as well over the past couple of years.
For the automated case, all I necessarily want is for clients to hide
(by default) messages in a group chat which are likely to be spam, for
example if some trusted but non-admin users have reported it. When an
admin does respond, they could then moderate the message fully, or
unhide it (if the report was incorrect, e.g. malicious).
This hiding/unhiding could be a new XEP, or we could solve
"unmoderation", which solves the other use cases and probably makes
the most sense.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Matthew

Dear Council Members,
For years now we have two competing standards https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0447.html and https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0385.html and it leads to confusion and additional work for new implementers and prevents in some cases implementations at all.
According to the xmpp.org page both XEPs have each 6 implementations.
I would suggest to issue a last call to gather feedback.
After all feedback is addressed council should advances only one.
Regards
Philipp
