<p dir="auto">Sorry yes. I was thinking ahead to a different problem: Cleaning up the dataset and purging spam even for closed notes... which is a problem we might never get onto worrying about, while I can see you are describing a very current problem and some simple suggestions to tackle it. Sorry for the deflection. Both your suggestions look good to me.</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>More words around the "Report this note" link: <em>"If this note contains sensitive information that needs to be removed by an admin, [report the note]. For all other cases, please resolve the note yourself with a comment"</em>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>That should be moved below the comment & resolve buttons too to give it less prominence.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Flash notice: <em>"Thank you for closing this note. It will remain on the map for another week and then disappear automatically."</em>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>We could display some information for <em>anyone</em> viewing a closed note, about how much longer it will remain visible. Just a subtle additional text <em>"Resolved by bob 2 days ago. Remaining for 5 more days"</em> (Can do both)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Easy enough to do. The only objection I can think of is that it's a little more clutter in some places, but balanced against saving DWG people time, we should just do it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Looking at the "report" form I feel like there's further improvements to be made there</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>We could have a special text in the yellow box for reporting notes (I assume it currently shows the same message for all report types) Have that encourage people to resolve instead (ideally detecting and rewording if it is already resolved)</li>
<li>We could split the form in two and have it bounce people back to resolving the note if they choose certain "reason" options (Again we'd want it to behave differently if it's already resolved, and this would only be for note reports, so a bit fiddly)</li>
<li>We could introduce a rule that in fact you're no longer allowed to report a note until it is first resolved.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">But let's make some simpler text changes first.</p>
