Question for Reviewers: How to include comments when approving a pending review

Avatar for Electronman
ElectronmanToo much of a good thing is never enough

For reviewers:

If I reject a pending review, I go to a screen with a list of reasons for the rejection (not enough details, shill review, AI generated, etc.) and a space to add some written commentary.

When I vote to "Accept" a pending review, I do not get the opportunity to add a written commentary on the review that I recommended for acceptance. There was a time, maybe 6 months ago, when I could insert a comment on a pending review that I recommended that it be accepted. I assumed that Founder had removed the commentary box for accepted reviews but, recently, I'm seeing reviewers adding commentary, even to positive reviews. How are you adding commentary when you recommend acceptance of a pending review?

I have seen the same behavior and wondered how others add comments. For a while I thought it might be device dependent but it doesn’t appear so.

If you go through Pending Reviews, you should get this option. If you go through Reviews and click a pending review, you won't.

Click 'Not enough details', make a comment and click ACCEPT.

Techman: That option is only available if you sort by "pending reviews." If you work from the main page, where pending reviews are mixed in with published reviews, then you only have two options on a pending review: accept or reject. If you click accept, then you do NOT have the option to add commentary.
