| Aug 12, 2013 at 23:47 | comment | added | apaul | @KeithThompson I think "intractably large" is all the information that's really needed here. Considering that the active low rep user pool is likely well over 100k and those users are likely to comment with some frequency, the chances of having a review queue with at least a few 100k comments waiting to be reviewed seems very likely. | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 23:39 | comment | added | Keith Thompson | @apaul34208: It may be substantially less than a quarter. It shouldn't be hard to figure out how many of those users have posted anything, or have even visited the site, in, say, the last month. I suspect the number would still be intractably large, but it would be good to have numbers. | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 23:29 | comment | added | apaul | @KeithThompson if even only one quarter of the low rep users are currently active that's 410,500 users who could be dropping comments into a queue. | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 20:53 | comment | added | Keith Thompson | Probably most of those 1,642,000 users are inactive. | |

Now this is a concern I understand, though it wouldn't be the first queue with an ever-increasing backlog (see here...) - that's why I suggested the <n> comment(s) under review message below the respective post. Though your point about the transient nature of comments suggests notifications should be triggered as @ben suggests, which then again could upset many users due to probably too often abused noob-comments

| Jul 28, 2013 at 21:23 | comment | added | Linuxios | @benisuǝqbackwards: and we all saw what that got us in the normal review queues. Audits, robot reviewers, and something like half the questions on meta. It was helpful, sure, but I'm not sure we want to do that again. Yes, the OP could, but the likelihood that the op doesn't know the rules that they are enforcing is high. | |
| Jul 28, 2013 at 20:32 | comment | added | ben is uǝq backwards | You could have some badges to incentivize people approving the comments @Linuxios :-). In all seriousness though, were this to be implemented why does it need a site-wide queue at all? A comment is only viewable from another post and so if there's no one else looking at the post the fact that the comment hasn't been reviewed is immaterial. To get round the OP not getting notified you could let the OP of each post approve (not disapprove) of comments so that they could see what others are asking. | |
| Jul 28, 2013 at 20:05 | comment | added | Linuxios | Thank you for bringing this up. If comments from new users are forced to wait something like a day before they're approved, the entire commenting system falls to pieces. | |
