Abstract

The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for automatically removing inappropriate content. One example method includes: identifying a report of inappropriate content received from a user, the report identifying a content item the user has identified as inappropriate and an identification of the user, determining whether to automatically remove the content item based at least in part on the identity of the user, and removing the content item upon determining that the content should be removed. In some instances, the user is associated with a report weight. The report weight can be based, at least in part, on a business role of the user. Determining whether to automatically remove the content item may include determining that the user or a business role of the user is associated with an automatic removal rule, and removing the content item upon determining that the report is associated the user.
