If the issue was that the post was left up longer than you feel it should have been left up in retrospect due to deliberation time, then I’d suggest adding a feature to temporarily remove a post. This would be similar to deleting and undeleting a post except that it would show a message saying that the post is currently under mod consideration.
I would generally hate to see situations where mods feel like they have to rush a decision as I suspect that this would lead to worse decisions.
Thanks for the suggestion. There is already a similar feature (we moved the post to the user’s drafts, and could theoretically undraft it), but it doesn’t show a special message.
I personally think that the response time, ~12 hours on a Sunday, was ok (but I might be wrong on this) and that the key mistake was allowing the post in the first place.
(Didn’t see this chain when I commented below, sorry!)
I agree 12 hours on a Sunday does seem reasonable and the main decision to let the post through seems less reasonable. I do think that whatever extent you expect to be less active with moderating decisions on a weekend, the bar for allowing the post should probably be higher as a result. I do recognize this was probably made much more difficult with April Fool’s though, thanks for all the work you do for the forum!
