| Dec 11, 2020 at 22:25 | comment | added | Robotnik Mod | @TylerH the mod team has noticed an uptick in the amount of dogpiling unnecessary comments again - it seems this flares up every two years or so (see the revision history of the post). Same as last time, and the time before that, we decided to feature it as more of a reminder/heads up to newer users who might have missed the initial discussion :-) | |
| Dec 11, 2020 at 14:22 | comment | added | TylerH | @Robotnik So are you suggesting users choose the wrong option for posts in the review queue? Curious why this is featured currently. | |

| Dec 9, 2016 at 23:54 | comment | added | Robotnik Mod | @TimmyJim that is true if reviewers select the same canned comment but doesn't hold up if there are manual comments and/or people are selecting different review comments. Like Matthew's example picture in the question above: some users are leaving manual comments while others are selecting different review examples. All of them combined on a single post is basically dogpiling onto the poster. | |

| Dec 9, 2016 at 15:14 | comment | added | Mage Xy | I think part of the problem is that when flagging a post or closing a question from review, the system asks for a specific reason for why you are voting a certain way (not an answer, unclear what you're asking, duplicate, etc...). When recommending deletion on answers, this is not the case - yet we are still prompted for our reasoning so that a comment can be generated. This disjoint probably causes more confusion than necessary. I know I didn't realize the comment prompt was just for adding comments until a few weeks after I got access to the review queues. | |
| Dec 9, 2016 at 12:55 | comment | added | Timmy Jim Mod | @Robotnik, I thought when someone selected a comment reason from review, and then another reviewer selected that same comment, it stacked it with the other reviewers (via an upvote of the first reviewers comment). Is this not true? | |
| Dec 9, 2016 at 2:36 | comment | added | Robotnik Mod | I've [featured] this following a recent spate of redundant comments happening again. | |

| Mar 19, 2013 at 22:13 | comment | added | Matthew Read | @MBraedley I understood, it's just not my only concern. | |
| Mar 19, 2013 at 22:09 | comment | added | MBraedley | @MatthewRead: The point is that if there are canned comments for flags, then the system can recognize them and prevent double commenting. | |
| Mar 19, 2013 at 22:08 | comment | added | Matthew Read | @MBraedley Could be. I do find the discrepancy between flagging, the flag queue, and the review queue to be disconcerting. But I don't think that good customized comments like yours are the issue ;) | |
| Mar 19, 2013 at 22:03 | comment | added | MBraedley | Part of the problem may be because I didn't leave a canned comment. "Well why didn't you leave a canned comment?" Good question. Well because I didn't come to this answer from the review queue. I flagged the post, then left the custom comment. Perhaps part of the solution should be an option to leave a canned comment after flagging a post as NAA. | |
| Mar 19, 2013 at 20:53 | comment | added | Frank | That's what I try to do; leave a (canned) comment if nobody's said anything about it yet, or upvote the existing one and leave no comment. Multiples help no one at all. | |
| Mar 19, 2013 at 19:25 | comment | added | Matthew Read | @BenBrocka It's even easier not to, the "No comment needed" option is the default. Again I haven't seen the same auto-comment on a single answer, just different comments. | |
| Mar 19, 2013 at 19:23 | comment | added | Zelda | Yeah, but it shouldn't let you post another regardless. IIRC someone feature requested that if you pick the same auto-comment as someone else it would just upvote that one. Just asking them not to do it when the system makes it so easy's just herding cats | |

| Mar 19, 2013 at 19:18 | comment | added | Matthew Read | Checked it out. The review queue shows all the comments and provides a "No comment needed" option. There's no excuse for blindly clicking to post another without reading. cc @BenBrocka | |
| Mar 19, 2013 at 19:10 | comment | added | Matthew Read | @BenBrocka Ah I will have to check out the queues when there's something there. However I noticed that none of the "dupe" comments I saw were written the same way on the same post. | |

| Mar 19, 2013 at 18:52 | comment | added | Zelda | If they're the automated ones from the review queue people could be doing it unintentionally. I think it still lets you do that | |
