Metrics on Reported Subreddits

After monitoring reported subreddits for a few months, I've noticed a pattern. Most reported subs tend to fall into these categories: hate speech, illegal content, and misleading information. The speed of response varies, usually slower for less clear-cut cases of abuse. If Reddit is to combat harmful communities effectively, they need better tools for rapid analysis and resolution. Has anyone else observed this pattern or have access to any official stats?

Back in my day, we monitored these subs by hand. Automation's great but lacks nuance. Reddit's gotta remember the human element in moderation; AI can't catch everything.

Reddit always says they want to fix things, but the response times are a joke. I've reported hate speech and barely got acknowledgment. It's like they don't care unless something goes viral.

Wow, this is worrying! I just joined Reddit and didn't realize this was an issue. Is there any way to know if a subreddit has been reported before subscribing?

So like, are we just gonna ignore all the ‘cats standing on 2 legs’ subs?? Those should be reported for being absolutely terrifying. 😹

If Reddit really wants to tackle this problem, they need to invest in some AI-driven tools for real-time analysis. Other platforms are already using advanced machine learning models to pre-emptively escalate content for human review. It's a balance between automation and human judgment. Maybe tie it into some kind of reward system for mods to incentivize quick yet accurate moderation?

Seems like hate speech and illegal content are always gonna be top offenders. But misleading info? That's nuts. Kinda says a lot about the state of the internet these days, huh?

I've been pulling data from public modlogs where possible, and it's interesting. Agree with your categories, but I'd add 'troll communities' as another major one. Not much official data from Reddit, but social media platforms often highlight similar trouble spots in transparency reports. The speed of moderation action seems crucial but varies widely based on sub and how active volunteer mods are. Would love to compare notes!
