Over the last few years we have been struggling to keep bots and spam out of our sites, so we decided to explore whether we could use AI to find out when those are happening, to let the moderators know as soon as possible so they can take action.

We have been testing and iterating this idea over almost a year now both in simpleplanes.com and here, and the tests have been really successful, resulting in @AutoModerator.

We have decided to expand on this by having it check all comments, bios and posts, both public and unlisted, so we can have a heads-up on potential trouble right as it happens. This has lead us to find some issues in our site we didn't even know about.

Hopefully we will be able to have a better experience free of scam bots now, and we will be able to combat bullying and nsfw content more effectively.

    @Tallisar the automod doesn't remove content on its own, it only reports it to us. if it ever does do things on its own, it would be for removing very unambiguously problematic things like slurs

    this thing could help massively to the community, especially with the p⬛rn and n⬛w posters, that could be a good update, and sorta bad update?, could be like the Roblox modding AI that delete accounts only for saying 'hi' lol, I was a victim of that ban so u could add a support forum for that unfair bans

    THEY NEED TO CHECK THAT

    or else the community could collapse...

    Man can we still fix the site with the ability to actually scroll past the first page of new follower posts, being able to search up people easier, etc? Nice that this site is being updated in some degree yet none of these issues I mention are being addressed

    I love that you made it a Terminator. It being a reporter rather than a true mod is also a breath of fresh air.

    @HorizonsTechnologies shame that it’s AI generated, I guess it is fitting though

    @Tallisar among other things, but yes. false reports do happen also, but for the most part it has been reliable at catching things that need to be looked at

    So, it essentially 'flags' things like caustic language, and inappropriate content, "before anyone reports it (said Pedro)? I mean, if it is, that's great. I just wanted to allude to the fact that I hope it doesn't flag unnecessary or safe things. Thank you for clarifying @SupremeDorian.

    @SupremeDorian thank the heavens, I thought we were about to have something similar to the catastrophe that is Roblox moderation
