Apparently just letting ads through now

I wonder if they tried playing with less moderation to work on cleaning up the backlog. If so, I guess that experiment failed. Unless the experiment is whether the user community will moderate it for them.
 
This, along with a story that’s literally blatant fascist propaganda posted in LW a couple of days ago, is making me question whether I want to keep posting here.
Nobody thought to ping that 'author' and bring them here? Or are they already here? I can envision a few here posting that kind of thing.
 
I had to report a very explicit snuff story last month.

It was, I believe, seven years old at the time.

It was removed instantly. I mean, literally, before I could hit Back. The result is that I don't have the title or author.

The author of the racist material was bh76; has thousands of followers and some H ratings
When you think too of how people who make racist comments on PB react when people disagree - I don’t think he’s gonna give a shit, and I see little value
But by all means do if you think otherwise

That actually kind of worries me a bit. I mean, it's good that the story's gone. But the idea that one report can cause a piece to be instantly removed seems abusable. Hopefully it's just that the story was submitted before whatever content-moderation tools in use now were implemented, the report caused the story to be re-evaluated automatically and it failed the moderation test.

So far as I'm aware, a reported story gets taken down, then goes through the same process as any new story. Whether or not it automatically gets referred back to the author I don't know, not these days.

In the past, it would be handled like a rejection, with the author given a chance to fix it. If the author did nothing, the story would stay down, no further action taken.
