in thread Consideration overhaul?

I don't think this should ever be done. A better way to address the presumed problem (and something that would be useful for many other reasons) is to make available the consideration history of a node including when it was considered, for what, how the vote turned out, when and why it was unconsidered (which will require asking for a reason when janitors unconsider a node), etc. Perhaps considering a node that had previously been considered could display the consideration history and prompt "are you sure?". Fixing a title once doesn't mean that a much better title can't be suggested. Not being a duplicate once doesn't mean it can't become a duplicate. Or a poorly worded consideration might fail for the wrong reasons. Etc.

    I totally agree. I have unconsidered on a few occasions and wish there had been a place where I could have said something like "This has already been considered for reap, as OT, and unconsidered. Please don't do it again!"

    It would also be nice if something similar could be done wrt approvals.
