Over the last few years we have been struggling to keep bots and spam out of our sites, so we decided to explore whether we could use AI to find out when those are happening, to let the moderators know as soon as possible so they can take action.
We have been testing and iterating this idea over almost a year now both in simplerockets.com and here, and the tests have been really successful, resulting in @AutoModerator.
We have decided to expand on this by having it check all comments, bios and posts, both public and unlisted, so we can have a heads-up on potential trouble right as it happens. This has lead us to find some issues in our site we didn't even know about.
Hopefully we will be able to have a better experience free of scam bots now, and we will be able to combat bullying and nsfw content more effectively.
@LM0418 See WNP78's comment below.
Great work!
Although I don’t think this will fix this issue entirely
.
Trust me, when SP2 drops, this issue will absolutely skyrocket.
.
The thing is, AI that can automatically make new emails, make a new account and continue its tirade on the SP site within 2 minutes more or less
.
It’s a good thought, however I am afraid this won’t solve the issue on the long term.
.
The ONLY way to fix this, is to make sure they pay for it to get into the website. Like buying a game.
.
Maybe by posting a single aircraft to their profile before being able to comment on creations.
.
Right now, it’s just too easy to comment. Scammers are very persistent until you touch their wallet
Wowzer
While this is cool, I see the possibility of people getting unrightfully banned.
Honestly, we do need automod. Some people just go crazy on here, and often go unchecked.
Welcome to sp automod!!
Wow they had fun with automods pfp lol
ALL HAIL OUR NEW AI OVERLORD
AUTOMODERATOR
We must appease the AI now as to be spared when it inevitably takes over!
@Rb2h not really. the automod doesn't remove content on its own, it requires manual action to be taken on the things it reports
Welp, every human mod just got replaced 💀
Maybe idk
@Pedro I'm kidding
@Boeing727200F I'd recommend not to do that if you don't want to get banned
@TheMouse I don't care, I'm just reporting an issue, I'm aware there's no longer a curator section
@TheMouse nah
@Boeing727200F
are you sure that is wise?
@Dissent3R
Thats cause there is no longer a "filter by curators" button. Thats what it would lead to at the time.
Also, there are no VR curators that are not mods at this point.
yo lets test the new @AutoModerator bot
@AutoModerator please don't kill us and overthrow SP
at least not now
@VRCollective on your page, where it says VR curators it actually directs to the top users page
@WNP78 Hey, sry to bother. I just wanted to ask if there are other updates coming to the website? Because there is a feature that i think needs some slight adjustments. When you change your profile name, there is a line of text inserted into your bio that says what your previous name was. But this seems to stay forever. Maybe it could be made so that it goes away after like 6 months or a year. Anyway keep up the amazing work your doing at Jundroo!
Aw man :(
They really be making skynet now huh, Garrison1000???
@AutoModerator
I welcome our AI overlords with open arms.
Cool! Guess I have to stop bullying people in my unlisted post now. What a shame
