Context & Requests for Reviewers

Introduces the ability to view/add/change a penalty to policies in the Coop UI. Previously, this was only possible via directly editing the DB.

Tests

Tested viewing existing policies, creating a new policy, updating an existing policy, updating then discarding penalty.

Checklist

Only check items that apply to this PR; leave the rest unchecked.

  • If you changed anything user-facing (i.e. user interface or APIs):
    Did you update related docs?

  • If the change is notable (refer to Keep a Changelog conventions):
    Did you update CHANGELOG.md?

  • If you changed db/src/scripts/** and used CREATE TABLE, ADD COLUMN, or ALTER COLUMN:
    Are as many columns marked NOT NULL as possible? If some columns can sometimes be null depending on other columns, are there CHECK constraints capturing those relationships, and are these also reflected using unions in the associated Kysely types?

  • If you added a new signal in server/services/signalsService/signals/**:
    Did you classify every error case as a permanent error (SignalPermanentError, no retry) or a normal error (retryable)? Any case where the signal can't determine a score should be a SignalPermanentError.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Policy penalties now pass through GraphQL and moderation services. The policy form supports selecting and resetting penalty severity. The Policies dashboard displays each policy’s penalty. Documentation and the changelog describe the feature.

Changes

Policy penalty severity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend penalty contract and persistence
server/graphql/modules/policy.ts, server/services/moderationConfigService/...
GraphQL policy types and mutations accept penalty severity. Moderation operations default new policies to NONE and persist supplied update values. Tests cover create, update, and retrieval behavior.
Policy form penalty editing
client/src/webpages/dashboard/policies/PolicyForm.tsx
The form adds a penalty selector, loads penalties for existing policies, restores them on discard, and submits them for creation and updates.
Policy display and documentation
client/src/webpages/dashboard/policies/PoliciesDashboard.tsx, docs/user/..., CHANGELOG.md
The dashboard displays a colored penalty badge. User documentation and the changelog describe penalty levels and webhook inclusion.

Policy creation currently defaults omitted penalties correctly, but that new behavior lacks regression coverage. Add the focused test before merge.

1499-1499: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover the omitted penalty default.

The existing createPolicy tests omit penalty, but they do not assert the resulting value. This test only creates with UserPenaltySeverity.HIGH, so it does not detect a regression in the nullish default. Add a case that omits penalty and asserts that both the created and fetched policies use UserPenaltySeverity.NONE.

Thanks Jess! I thought that penalties were part of the old deprecated "User Score" system, which is why we ended up not surfacing it in the UI. The new strike system under Automated Enforcement should be the new replacement. Are y'all still using penalties somewhere?

Thanks Jess! I thought that penalties were part of the old deprecated "User Score" system, which is why we ended up not surfacing it in the UI. The new strike system under Automated Enforcement should be the new replacement. Are y'all still using penalties somewhere?

We use penalties as part of our own internal restriction/suspension tracks for users. I had assumed it was a safe API since it's sent from coop as part of the webhook. We then look at the "mix" of what type of violations in a rolling window to determine the track which then determines if the user should be flagged for further human review. I'm not sure this system would map cleanly to the User Strike system but open to hearing your thoughts on if we could do it via this system

@jess-upscrolled 👋🏻 as @julietshen We would prefer User Strikes to be the single long-term enforcement system rather than exposing more of the deprecated User Score penalty model, and ideally remove it altogether from code.

The action webhook already includes the violated policy IDs/names and the resulting aggregate strike count. We could extend it with:

  • each policy’s configured strike weight (userStrikeCount)
  • the exact policy/strike amount applied for this event
  • the resulting or projected aggregate strike total
    Would that give your downstream system enough information to continue evaluating the mix of violation types in its rolling window?

A couple clarifying questions from me to also figure out the best path forwards

  • Do you use penalty only as a severity weight, or does anything require the specific NONE/LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/SEVERE values?
  • Do you maintain the rolling window downstream, or would you need Coop to provide per-policy rolling totals?
  • Do your tracks depend on every policy attached to an event, or only the policy whose strike is applied? Coop currently applies only the most severe eligible policy strike from an action batch.
  • Must the webhook confirm that the strike was persisted, or is a projected total acceptable?

Could you migrate if we added this payload while retaining penalty temporarily as a deprecated compatibility field?
If that works, I propose we supersede this penalty UI with an additive User Strikes webhook change. Strike configuration would remain in Automated Enforcement -> User Strikes, avoiding two separate systems and configuration surfaces.

Let me know what you think 😄
