View submission: Announcing an Update to Our Post-Level Content Tagging
Good plan. Glad to see you taking steps to eradicate disgusting and triggering content. I look forward to the upcoming purge of NSFW communities. They've been a blight on Reddit for too long.
However, I moderate a subreddit that does not even permit swearing let alone NSFW content. Our brand is "safe for parents with small children." I would want to immediately ban any OPs of adult content uncovered by your new system within my community.
I am guessing you will be doing a large archive run to tag everything previously missed and that you aren't being accountable for your actions in modlog because it would be a flood of questionable accuracy. Or you don't want people reverse engineering the detection algo as you tune it in.
You guys need to start being more transparent with us about your actions. You do not get carte blanche to haul off content and people from my subreddit without my awareness. It's bad enough that you promote other communities on my front page.
The mistrust of the Reddit admins at the current time is sky high. You keep doing shady things like removing posts and shadowbanning with no logs left and making it look like mods are the ones to blame. You force any discussions that might make you look bad over to modsupport modmail. Based on what I can see in modsupport about unactioned reports I don't even bother reporting most offenses to the admins anymore. You say you have high confidence in your detection. I have zero confidence. None.
I would in an ideal world want to permaban anyone who trips your new automated filter immediately. This is one of the rare times where I support your intent if not your methods.
But if you don't provide API access and modlog records, I'll have to scrape my own community to make sure that the NSFW tag never appears. It would be humiliating and an insult to my team's watchfulness and skill.
You guys get to save face by sending your screwups to modmail but this will once again make us look like we're incompetent. When your bot screws up it will look like *we* manually approve NSFW content willy nilly when our brand is "safe for parents with small children."
Get this in the modlogs ASAP.
For now I will post an alert to try and prevent the upcoming PR nightmare that this is going to be.
There's nothing here!
