The review queue
The Review Queue at /review is where judges process items that need attention. It is divided into three sections, shown in this order.
Three queue sections
- Pending Proposals — community corrections awaiting your approve or reject decision. Multiple pending proposals per question are allowed.
- Unverified Questions — AI answers not yet confirmed, shown oldest first. Excludes flagged questions and those with pending proposals.
- Flagged Questions — questions with a vote score of −3 or below. The status badge is unchanged — a verified answer can still appear here.
How flagged items arrive
Enough net downvotes push the vote score to ≤ −3, which triggers flagging. See Voting & comments for how voting works.
Flagged judge actions
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Dismiss Flag | Clears the flag; status unchanged. The community concern is noted but the content stays live. |
| Deprecate | Status → deprecated (read-only). Flag cleared. A judge comment is added with the deprecation reason. The asker is notified. No further voting, comments, or proposals. Reason required. |
Dismiss = “the community was wrong to flag.” Deprecate = “the answer is wrong or outdated.”
Pending Review stat
Contributor → judge workload
Community contributions generate your workload as a judge:
- Edit proposals → items in the Pending Proposals section
- Downvotes → items in the Flagged section
- The Unverified backlog is proactive verification — not triggered by community action
Process pending proposals, unverified questions, and flagged content.
