How to Avoid Threads and Posting Getting Privated

Hello, staff!

Since a long time I often struggled with my postings and even Threads getting privated.

Mostly all time of incomprehensible or unreproducible reasons. Can someone please give us

a hand-out of terms that are not allowed to write, or maybe a crash-course to avoid getting

privated? It racks my nerves to always check and re-check words that might trigger the bot.

I think there are some other guys on the board who also don't like that. Please give us a 

list or guidelines how to write proper for not getting privated. Thank you.

Hi Breumaster -

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback, I understand your frustration with the experience.

 

We have standard moderation safeguards in place that automatically flag content containing certain types of language. This includes not only clearly inappropriate content, but also wording that may be interpreted as sensitive or potentially in violation of our community guidelines.  Because of this, some posts may be flagged even if the intent wasn’t problematic.  If our community staff reviews content that has been incorrectly flagged, we will restore it to public visibility.

 

We’re not able to provide a specific list of trigger terms, as the system evaluates content based on a combination of factors rather than a fixed set of words.  That said, we generally recommend keeping posts clear, neutral in tone, and avoiding language that could be interpreted as inflammatory, explicit, or sensitive.

 

I’ve taken a closer look at your recent experience, and you should see an improvement in how your posts are handled going forward.  

 

Appreciate your patience, and thanks for being part of the community!

@Michelle​ 

Hi, Michelle.If you want, you can start with that thread.I've got 2 postings privated. The second is just a copy of the first.If you would de-private the first privated of the both threads, it would be kind:

https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdb-poll/live-poll-from-melies-to-streaming-the-eras-of-film-history/69ac839fac3dbb52abf6ea40

The privating method successfully destroys vivid discussions. I've made a poll idea of D. Van D this year. This centenarian has a name with even two triggers. I guess there are other names with the same problem. Just think of all the drag-queens. I would wonder if there weren't the one or other who has a name your bot will spill his censorship on.

Hi @Breumaster​ -

I’ve taken a look at the thread and have updated the initial comment to Public. I’m also looking into what part of the content may have been flagged so we can better refine our moderation approach going forward.

I appreciate your feedback and can confirm that we’re actively reviewing how content is marked as Private.

If this is any useful info: I had both a post/idea:

‎Search/sort options for people/celebs ? When several people have the same name. | IMDb Community Forums

and this comment:

https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/missing-film-the-snapper-1993/69bcc6e204820a6c05d2dc07?commentId=69bccb56efafaf16204bb807 

stand on "private" for a long time today, I did not understand why, they are both ok now, just sending if more examples is needed.
