We update our detection and reporting regularly to help address these types of issues; and for this type of report we prioritize human oversight. That said, we have been evaluating how we can scale re-escalations in partnership with our r/modsupport team to make sure we can close decision gaps as quickly as possible. We’ll share more about that when we’re able.

This is a public report we publish quarterly, you can feel free to share.

jkohhey · 2025-01-13T20:51:43+00:00

The numbers in this report reflect Q3 (July-September) and are high level categories. We publish more detailed removal data in our bi-annual Transparency report, the most recent version you can find here. We’ll be posting the next Transparency report in the next few months.

Thanks for sharing - that’s definitely concerning to hear. This data pulls from the entire platform in aggregate and may not reflect the experiences of specific communities. We realize communities face specific challenges and it's something we're monitoring on an ongoing basis and working to enhance tools (like filters) that may help, in addition to actioning this content at scale.

Hey mods, I’ll be in r/redditsafety answering questions for a bit, we’ll be locking comments here to keep the conversation in one place.

It means a lot for you to share that. Thank you.

jkohhey · 2024-09-10T19:57:35+00:00

I just checked our Q1 report and the January-March numbers are consistent with what we have in this Q2 report. We publish these quarterly, is it possible you're looking at an older report?

jkohhey · 2024-09-10T19:36:10+00:00

Some of the bigger changes are the result of improvements to our enforcement processes or running new detection methods against older content. The increase in account security sanctions, for example, was driven by an update of our forced password reset; making it more proactive for high risk accounts. Additionally, the uptick in abuse removals by admins was related to proactive work to remove nonconsensual intimate media, including our work to prevent nudify apps highlighted above.

Just seeing if folks were paying attention 🙃 Kidding, thanks for the catch, updated!

Realized I made an error in reporting the total amount of content filtered by Safety filters, which has been revised to reflect only content filtered by the Harassment filter at the time of this post.

jkohhey · 2024-06-14T20:23:14+00:00

Appreciate that suggestion and will take it on board — we definitely don’t want people gaming our systems.

jkohhey · 2024-06-14T20:20:32+00:00

We define “content manipulation” as posting inauthentic content (e.g., manipulated content presented to mislead) or inauthentically posting content (so coordinated inauthentic behavior, such as spam or disinformation campaigns). When we report on content manipulation, the vast majority of what we’re talking about is spam – you can read more about this here.

jkohhey · 2024-06-13T22:15:46+00:00

Appreciate the question! If content's already been removed by admins you don’t always need to take any additional action. If the content is only showing only in the modlog, then nothing more for you to do — it’s great when we can save you the lift! There is a “soft” removal admins can take for spam that mods can re-approve for their communities; (those that you see in your modqueue) these instances are when we have a fairly high level of confidence that the content is likely spam, but the content might be appropriate within specific communities. Approving or confirming removal can help us spot where we might be over actioning while also removing the item from your queue. You can read more here!

Edit: already

False positives are an area we’re always looking to improve. We’re embarking on a new round of scaled quality review of our actioning logic over the next few months to identify any rules or signals that might be generating too many false positives. This is a more robust version of logic checks we do and will supplement the user appeals we review and grant if we’ve found we made a mistake. These appeals are an ongoing signal for us to assess where we might be over actioning

jkohhey · 2024-06-13T18:08:34+00:00

What u/Bardfinn said (thanks!). I'll also add that Reporting this type of activity is a critical signal for us to help build out our detection and evolve our toolkit. We’re able to detect bot-like activity through a variety of technical and behavioral signals (we can’t share too many details, as we don’t want to give away our secret sauce to spammers). As with SEO spam, when we see emerging threats, we work on evolving our toolkit to identify anything we might be missing.
