Moderation messages
Every message a moderation action can show when it can't do what you asked, why, and what to do next.
Taking content down and putting it back
The post is still live
#not_removed
Take the post down first, so its author is told why.
What to do: Take it down with a reason. The author gets the notice and the reason before anything irreversible happens.
Another action is running
can clear on its own#operation_in_progress
Another moderation action on this post is still running. Try again in a moment.
What to do: Wait a few seconds and retry. Takedown, restore, image sync and delete take one lease per post so they cannot undo each other's storage work.
This page is out of date
#token_missing
This page is out of date. Reload it before taking this post down.
What to do: Reload the page. Your tab was loaded before the current version shipped, so it cannot prove which content you read.
The post changed since you opened it
#content_changed
This post changed since you opened it. Re-read it before deciding.
What to do: Reload it and read it again. Your reason is kept. The author edited it, or another moderator acted, after you opened this.
Acting on a report
The report was already handled
#already_handled
This report was already handled. Refresh to see how it was resolved.
What to do: Refresh the queue. Another admin resolved or dismissed it; the target may still need action of its own.
The report is about something else
#report_target_mismatch
That report is about a different item. Open it from the reports queue and try again.
What to do: Reload the reports queue and act from the row itself, so the report and the target match.
The reported item is gone
#target_missing
This item no longer exists. Resolve the report on its own.
What to do: Resolve or dismiss the report. There is nothing left to take down.
The item is not live
#target_not_live
This item is not publicly visible, so there is nothing to take down.
What to do: Resolve the report on its own. A prompt or skill that is not published cannot be taken down; a blog post can, from Admin, Blog posts.

#removed_by_moderator
