Hey all, just wanted to share that we'll be updating our general moderation guidelines and tooling for the community soon.
A lot goes on behind-the-scenes that's a combination of manual moderation and automated spam detection. There is a lot of nuance here that requires constant adjustment and rebalancing.
I'll note that there are hundreds of mods with the ability to send messages via Sloan, so not all of it has fallen on Francis's shoulders - though we deeply appreciate his dedication to the the community, and he is by far one of our most active volunteer moderators.
We'll share a more substantial update on community moderation and our perspective on AI-assisted content in the next few weeks.
This is a big priority for us going forward after lots of work to catch up with new demands of moderation in this age. I think we'll land in a really good place.
Thanks for the transparency, Jess. It's reassuring to know there's a thoughtful, human-in-the-loop approach behind the scenes. Looking forward to the fuller update, especially your perspective on AI-assisted content, which feels increasingly relevant.
Thank you, as someone with next to no creative writing skills 😅 I beg for leniency when it comes to technical posts, so I dont have to spend hours writing a MD table for the benchmark results and run Grammarly to make sure it makes sense. Never in comments though, just in my posts. It would be a mess if writing a post takes me longer than developing the thing does.
Do keep up the good work, I did mention to Francis a tool I saw 4 years ago on LTT for YT comments, I looked into it a bit, last update was about a year ago, but I'll fork it and spin up the foundry to expand it into a fake-follower detector too and let y'all know when it's ready if it helps?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Thanks @jess and @ben! If you believe if there is something I can do to improve, do let me know in the meantime!
