Moderation Categories

Execution Flow

Step 1: Classify Content

ai.classify({
  type: "content_moderation",
  content: {
    id: context.contentId,
    type: context.contentType,
    text: contentText,
    author: authorInfo,
    context: threadContext
  },
  categories: [
    "safe",
    "spam",
    "harassment",
    "hate_speech",
    "misinformation",
    "self_promotion",
    "off_topic",
    "nsfw",
    "illegal"
  ]
})

Step 2: Score Severity

ai.moderate({
  type: "severity_scoring",
  content: classifiedContent,
  factors: [
    "intent",
    "impact",
    "repeat_offense",
    "target_presence",
    "public_visibility"
  ]
})

Severity Levels:

• Critical (5): Immediate removal, ban consideration
• High (4): Remove, formal warning
• Medium (3): Remove or edit, informal warning
• Low (2): Edit or move, no warning
• None (1): Approve, no action

Step 3: Check User History

crm.get_contact({
  userId: content.authorId,
  fields: [
    "moderationHistory",
    "warningCount",
    "accountAge",
    "reputationScore",
    "previousViolations"
  ]
})

History Factors:

• First offense → More lenient
• Repeat offender → Stricter action
• New account → Higher scrutiny
• Trusted member → Warning first

Step 4: Take Action

Based on classification and severity:

moderationAction = determineAction(classification, severity, history)

// Actions: approve, edit, remove, warn, suspend, ban

For Content Removal

analytics.track_event({
  eventName: "content_moderated",
  properties: {
    contentId: context.contentId,
    contentType: context.contentType,
    action: "removed",
    reason: classification.category,
    severity: severity.score,
    automated: true
  }
})

Step 5: Notify User

messaging.send_notification({
  userId: content.authorId,
  type: "moderation_notice",
  title: getModerationTitle(action),
  body: getModerationMessage(action, reason),
  actionRequired: requiresResponse(action)
})

Step 6: Check for Patterns

ai.moderate({
  type: "pattern_detection",
  userId: content.authorId,
  timeRange: "30d",
  lookFor: [
    "escalating_behavior",
    "coordinated_attacks",
    "ban_evasion",
    "multiple_reports"
  ]
})

Step 7: Escalate if Needed

For high-severity or uncertain cases:

messaging.send_notification({
  recipient: "moderation_team",
  type: "escalation",
  title: "Moderation Review Required",
  body: escalationSummary,
  priority: "high",
  contentLink: contentUrl
})
