SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY MODERATING COMMUNICATIONS USING HIERARCHICAL AND NESTED WHITELISTS

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically moderating communications using hierarchical and nested whitelists. An example method comprises receiving a message including one or more words; determining whether the words of the message match any words in a first whitelist; determining whether the words of the message match any words in a second whitelist if it is determined that at least one of the words of the message does not match any of the words in the first whitelist; calculating an unacceptability value if it is determined that all of the words of the message match any of the words in the second whitelist; and publishing the message if the unacceptability value is below a predetermined threshold.

1. A method for automatically moderating communications, the method comprising:
receiving, by a server, a communication including one or more words; determining whether the one or more words of the communication match any words in a first set of words of a first whitelist; approving the communication for publication if it is determined that all of the one or more words of the communication match any of the words in the first set of words of the first whitelist; determining whether the one or more words of the communication match any words in a second set of words of a second whitelist if it is determined that at least one of the one or more words of the communication does not match any of the words in the first set of words of the first whitelist, wherein the second whitelist includes both the first set of words and the second set of words; calculating an unacceptability value if it is determined that all of the one or more words of the communication match any of the words in first set of words and the second set of words of the second whitelist, wherein the unacceptability value is calculated based on a ratio of a number of words in the communication that match the words in the second set of words to a number of words in the communication that match the words in the first set of words; approving the communication for publication if the unacceptability value is below a predetermined threshold; and rejecting the communication for publication if the unacceptability value is equal to or above the predetermined threshold.
