Abstract

Disclosed are embodiments a system and method for managing an on-line community. Electronic postings are pre-screened based on one or more metrics to determine a risk value indicative of the likelihood that an individual posting contains objectionable content. These metrics are based on the profile of a poster, including various parameters of the poster and/or the poster's record of objectionable content postings. These metrics can also be based on the social network profile of a poster, including the average of various parameters of other users in the poster's social network and/or a compiled record of objectionable content postings of other users in the poster's social network. If the risk value is relatively low, the posting can be displayed to the on-line community immediately. If the risk value is relatively high, display of the posting can be delayed until further content analysis is completed. Finally, if the risk value is above a predetermined high risk threshold value, the posting can be removed automatically.
