Add Platform Filters to the Moderation Queue

📋 Summary

Add platform show/hide filters to the LaunchBox Games Database moderation queue.


❗ Problem

Moderators often have platforms they are more familiar with, and others they are not interested in or do not feel qualified to review.

Currently, they may need to repeatedly skip submissions for platforms they do not want to moderate, which slows down the process and adds unnecessary friction.


💡 Proposal

Allow users to configure platform filters for the moderation queue.

This could support:

  • Showing only selected platforms

  • Hiding selected platforms

  • Saving the filter preferences per user

  • Quickly editing or clearing the platform filter list


🧩 Use Cases

  • A moderator focuses only on platforms they know well

  • A user hides platforms they do not want to review

  • Moderators avoid repeatedly using “Skip for 24 hours” on the same platforms

  • Database changes are reviewed by users with more relevant knowledge


📦 Benefits

  • Speeds up moderation

  • Improves review quality

  • Reduces repetitive skipping

  • Lets contributors focus on areas where they have expertise

  • Makes the moderation queue more pleasant to use


⚠️ Considerations

Filters should not permanently remove items from the queue. They should only customize what each moderator sees, and users should be able to reset or adjust them at any time.
