Re: Please unconsider

"Race conditions" like this happen quite often, I wouldn't worry about it.

Those who notice and read considerations are regulars. They can handle conflicting signals. :)

And if it's really worrisome, I'd say just send a message to janitors ...

> I can't remove the consideration myself, right?

Right, but janitors can.

Ah thanks, I had both missed the brief paragraph on this in the help page and failed to understand that janitors were a messageable entity.	[reply]

I just tested with the help of Athanasius++, if the original author is messaged if his node is considered. Apparently not. I've seen many edit-considerations including the text "author messaged", maybe it could be an idea to automatically message any non-anonymous author, if the consideration includes the word `/^\s*edit/i` at the beginning. (yes relying on text recognition is fuzzy, but otherwise we'd need to extend the form, and that's a practical and fast solution. see also Re: Please unconsider ) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]

I think the point is to message the author before the consideration process, and only resort to janitation if the author fails.	[reply]
