This is a feature request to warn users with a modal alert box if they try to leave a page when they have chosen a comment to be moderated up/down but have not pressed submit yet.

If you don't understand what I mean try doing something like archiving an email in Gmail and closing the tab immediately. Usually gmail gives you a warning along the lines of "do you really want to leave this page? current tasks have not been executed yet" because of the short lag it takes to receive the acknowledgment of the archive task.

Steps to reproduce:
1) get mod points
2) find a comment to moderate
3) change the moderation box for that comment to any of its values
4) close the page before hitting submit at the bottom
5) page doesn't warn you about losing data

    If you can display a modal alert box, then you have JavaScript, and if you have JavaScript, then chances are you can use the "D2" system. In the D2 discussion system, your moderations are applied immediately. We're not going to add new features to the "D1" system. Go to your comment prefs and switch!
