I was browsing through the mod tools (only visible to users with >2k rep, sorry) and saw this:

The "Recently Deleted" posts show up just fine, but the "Recently Undeleted" ones are so pale as to be almost invisible against a white background. I literally didn't see them at first.

Is this a design bug? Something that can be fixed? I haven't noticed it on any other sites.

  • I can confirm that this is the case for me as well (Opera 46.0.2597.26, Ubuntu 16.04).

  • Same on Chrome (59.0.3071.109), Windows 10.

  • This is also the case on SFF, which makes me think it's by design (though I can't see the necessity of such design).

  • @Gallifreyan Huh. In that case, I wonder if it's a recent design change. I don't remember having any readability issues with the 10k tools on SFF or Puzzling before.

    Are those "Recently Deleted" posts instances of votes to delete by 2k users, or moderator deletes? If you aren't a moderator, my recollection is that delete/undelete actions taken by moderators will be in gray. (but I don't have a non-mod 10k account to test with)

  • @Nathaniel Both. Whether a post is (un)deleted by community vote or by a modhammer, it'll show up in that section of the 2k/10k tools.

    I mean, my recollection is that a darker blue link will appear if it's a community vote, but a modhammered post will be linked in gray (since the community can't reverse in that case).

  • @Nathaniel What about posts deleted by the Community bot? (which I think covers all the recently deleted questions on Lit) It has a diamond, but non-mods can vote to undelete its deletions.

  • Community bot would also be in blue. Only modhammered stuff would be in gray.

  • I checked on SFF, and a hovertext appears on the greyed posts, saying I can't vote to delete/undelete. It seems to be by design, but I agree it could be made more readable.

  • @Gallifreyan Well, that's odd, because I'm not getting that hovertext for this answer which was deleted by a moderator. Maybe it only goes for questions? Anyway, you're right - all the greyed-out ones have that hovertext. Want to post that as an answer?

Those items appear to be dimmed when deleted single-handedly, or migrated, by a moderator. Indeed, those two posts: Should "New Spring" be read before the rest of books in the Wheel of Time series? and Please help identify a fanfic-y apocryphal story based on Noon Universe appear greyed because they were undeleted by one user and a moderator. If one was to hover over them, a text appears saying "you can't vote to delete/undelete this post".

There is a feature request on the main meta - Dimmed things in mod tools - which asks for the same UI improvement as this one.

  • Wait, we can't vote to delete a post which has been undeleted by a mod? I thought we could. I know for sure that the OP can delete a mod-undeleted post.

  • The sample space is small here, and I can't vote either way on SFF yet.

  • That's true. I assumed, since the delete button disappeared from mod-undeleted questions, it would disappear from mod-deleted tools if I was unable to vote anyway.
