Moderators have more abilities now than simply accessing the queue, this was changed a few months ago.

Oh cool, thanks for the correction. I'll edit the post to reflect that.

Moderators are notified when new entries come into the queue, which is not something that all maintainers wish to subject themselves to. One of the people I'd asked to help out with a comm de-maintainered herself over that, which failed to stop the notifications, which she then couldn't un-set for herself.

That's interesting. I was sure that was a setting but now I can't find it. I'm both maintainer and moderator for all the communities I'm running that have a queue, and I don't get notifications (thankfully!).

Edit: Oh, it's at the bottom of the Community Management page. It is a per user setting not a per-user-per-community setting which is a bit annoying, but yeah.

[azurelunatic]

Ah, yeah.

It was in a sufficiently non-obvious place that it did not go well in that situation.
