I feel if you managed to teach a bot the subtleties of sarcasm you might be pretty close to passing the Turing test However if you trained a bot to pass messages like that through, you might be able to get actually threatening posts through by slapping a lol at the end... Sometimes I think about how much awesome raw language data was made inaccessible when the MBs went offline... though I'm not sure how much a bot could actually get out of it... still 2 million posts have to account for something.
Yes, working on algorithms would definitely be a time investment, but as that's something I'm already interested in, I think it might be a good marriage. How many hours on moderation alone would you say you spend per week?
"I will kill you tonight lol. Sleep with one eye open lol" So, basically, the solution is to play it safe I guess. The AI would just have to flag the post if it's not sure, since it's better safe than sorry. And also, there's the fact that no one here threatens each other except whenever I'm dealing with 𝓐𝔯𝔡𝔢𝔫𝔱 𝓕𝔬𝔲𝔯. Basically, all posts by default are approved for the public to see. However, when a post is created, a bot checks to see the contents of the post, and if it thinks it should be rejected, or it isn't sure, then it would flag the post and hide it from the public, and then a human mod would have to look it over and either approve it or reject it. And yeah, it would've been interested if MB data was made accessible. I mean, I don't know why LEGO felt like they couldn't archive the MBs themselves since they probably had all the tools necessary to do that, but for some reason they just didn't want to.
Well, moderation doesn't take that long (I maybe moderate on average ten, maybe fifteen minutes a day - although each day is kind of different, and I'm not sure how long the other mods moderate for each day though), but if we got another mod, then I might stop moderating since I would like to invest more of my time on TBB developing. But you should know that mods don't code for TBB. They just moderate. If you want to help out with programming stuff, then you should apply as a designer, not a mod. Designers generally don't moderate unless they're also moderators (like me). And moderators don't help with design and development unless they're also designers. Once again, I apologize for the term "designer", when "developer" is more accurate. I didn't choose that. Most designers' posts don't need moderation (except for mine until I became a moderator). Now, developing is way more fun than moderating, but I suppose, if you really want to, you can apply to be a mod and a designer.
Sure, there was always a general theory that there was an automod of some sort doing the same thing on the actual MBs, anyway LEGO would also delete old forums for some reason instead of just keeping them around locked. Never understood that.
Well, then, do you have an expectation for how many hours you want devs to devote?

The galleries were definitely moderated by a bot. I dunno about the LMBs.
Nah. It's more of a results type of thing and not a time based type of thing. We don't care about how long it took; we care about results.

There were conspiracy theories about it. The mods denied it. However, the galleries were always chaos.
Well, do you expect results within a certain timeframe for any given thing? The AI projects you've been talking about don't necessarily sound like something you can reasonably set a timeframe for

Yeah, I doubt they automodded the LMBs. But the Galleries were barely paid any attention, and everything there was just crazy. Topics got shut down because of spammers, and you were easily able to mention LMBE just by spelling the url backwards.
Nah. It's very relaxed. You don't have deadlines or anything. Although I set goals and organizational stuff for my own work here, and it might help for you to make your own deadlines for yourself. Thinking about it, that's probably why the LMB Theme took three years to be available.

And here all this time I thought you were just waiting for my arrival to use the LMB theme
Well, it seems like being a mod and designer gives you the best of both worlds. You get to feel like you've accomplished something when you moderate the 5 posts a day, but you get to also do cool stuff as a dev.

The feeling of no more syntax errors is much better than finishing moderating three pages.

I've been working around syntax errors all weekend and I think I'd rather moderate pages
