DesigningWord Filter Tools for Creator-led Comment Moderation

Shagun Jhaver et al.

Summary: Online social platforms allow comments on content, and creators often struggle with managing and organizing these comments. To address this issue, a system called FilterBuddy is introduced, which supports creators in writing and organizing filters, as well as visualizing the captured comments. The early evaluation of FilterBuddy with YouTube creators shows that it is not only seen as a moderation tool, but also helps creators better understand their audiences.

Sarita Schoenebeck et al.

Summary: Most content moderation approaches in the United States rely on criminal justice models that may not effectively support online harassment victims. Preferences for dealing with offenders, removing content, and offering apologies are uncovered, while aversion to mediation and adjusting target audiences is noted.
