Let Community Rules Be Reflected in Online Content Moderation

Understand

Content moderation is a widely used strategy to prevent the dissemination of irregular information on social media platforms.

• Despite extensive research on developing automated models to support decision-making in content moderation, there remains a notable scarcity of studies that integrate the rules of online communities into content moderation.
• This study addresses this gap by proposing a community rule-based content moderation framework that directly integrates community rules into the moderation of user-generated content.
• Our experiment results with datasets collected from two domains demonstrate the superior performance of models based on the framework to baseline models across all evaluation metrics.
