Moderation moderation moderation . It’s a big problem I have similar moderation concerns in my browser game/engine but I only ban offensive slurs not swears, but I give no visual affordance that the word is not allowed The only surface where players see the input content is in a share card, and if they finish a game and get to the share card they will find the offensive word has been REDACTED lol So it’s a long feedb…

…or you could just let people talk? People who engage with social features generally do so because they want to talk to other people. That carries some inherent risks.

when I entered site, all bubbles contained dicks/balls and combination of these... so... someone found words that are not banned, but still abused forum in most primitive way ..

you're wrong, moderation is needed in ventures like this

I didn’t say they weren’t. I said they can fuck off from any spaces I have a voice in. Social pariahs are people. Doesn’t mean I’m going to tolerate them around me. You choose to be a social pariah, you live with the social consequences of that. They should have food, water, shelter, and healthcare. They don’t get my attention, respect, or acceptance.

Nah, drive those horrible people out of social spaces. I want to talk to other people without racist assholes bumbling around. Being a racist asshole carries some inherent risks too, like people choosing not to let you enter their spaces.

Technically yes but that doesn’t mean they deserve a podium to spew their hate

edit: on second thought this is way too obvious ragebait

I just took a look at the page's own 'town square'. At the moment, it's largely full of people saying offensive things for the sake of it.

Maybe a really lightweight fast LLM could moderate messages in realtime. Not sure how pricey that would get though.

No matter how cheap per request, someone will figure out a way to DoS that endpoint, and it will be extremely pricy unless you have effective rate limiting.
