Admin Flag Notifier

This userscript monitors the moderator flag queue and sends you a desktop notification when new flags arrive, so that you don't have to refresh the page manually.

Features

  • The script is only active when the flag queue is open; once you navigate away, it won't bother you anymore.
  • It checks the current status of the queue every 60 seconds.
  • Due to the expected number of flags, Stack Overflow moderators are advised not to use the script. It may harm your sanity.

Installation

  • Make sure you have Tampermonkey (for Chrome) or Greasemonkey (for Firefox) installed.

  • Install the userscript with this direct link.

  • If you're on a Mac, you might need to change the notification style for your browser. I personally found it annoying that banners disappeared so fast; to solve that, go to System Preferences -> Notifications, select your browser and make sure the alert style is set to Alerts as in the picture below:

  • Navigate to the flag queue (/admin/dashboard). The browser will ask you to give permission for notifications, so click Allow:

  • Wait for some flags. Once the script detects new flags, a notification will appear:

    Click on the body of the notification, it will focus on the tab with the flag queue and refresh the page.
