Community Notes

[JustinHawk]

Similar to x.com, I would like to see that we have something similar to community notes on our forums. So that users on the forum can add notes with misleading posts. It will help with some moderation at community level too.

If possible it would be nice to have Schema for it as well:

Fact Check (ClaimReview) Markup for Search | Google Search Central | Documentation | Google for Developers

Discover how you can use ClaimReview structured data to enable a summarized fact check to display in Google Search results.

can exact screengrabs / examples be provided ?
And can the exact "workflow" of the process be detailed ?
I dont have Twitter.

The quality of information is a key attribute in the future of automated disinformation.

This seems like a great idea, but feels like it will fall into the "addon" category for some time to come.

I will create an addon myself, if this doesn't get implemented.

Exactly. This also open up the forum content to have much more authority and authenticity. Helping with SEO as well.

The process is simple. User add a community note, similar to reporting content. But here the note will be displayed at random to users and if they report it useful it will be displayed publicly.

Though, I would still like to have an option where some specific users/contributors can approve a community note even without ratings.

Outsourcing the quality control. A great idea especially for large social media sites.

This was my suggestion for Xenforo to deal with spam.

Reddit used to do this alot.
example:
r/subreddit: Does this subreddit contain: porn ? offensive material ? racism ? xyx ?

i dont get those as much ?

make sense for forums.

One issue that could come up is someone may object to part of a large post, so reporting the entire post or removing the entire post is less useful.

Should the "reporter" be anonymous ? When should the reportee be notified ? At first report ? when a mod approves the report ? What should the result of the report be ? -- hide the post ? blur the post ? leave the post as is with the report attached ? lots of options I guess.

I think that makes more sense on a massive social media site like Twitter, where it's hard to debunk in the replies (format, character limit, which replies show first, etc.). But forums are built for discussion, debate, and debunking. It has features for moderators to show a warning on a comment and/or spoiler the contents, and it's the ideal format for people to quote and reply to the disputed information in comments.

Definitely you can display a warning. But the point here is to improve moderation at community level. Making the work of the moderation easy and improving content quality as well. You are improving the SEO as well.

Fake content is a big problem nowadays and you can't resolve it very quickly on forums which has large numbers of members and daily reports. This help in resolving that.

I would rather let the post stay and would rather have it simple and similar to x.com. Also with fact checking schema it will improve your rankings and credibility.

Keep the reporter anonymous and yes the other party will be notified, They can raise an complaint if they are not happy with the community notes on the post. Not really completely based on mod approval, as we are trying to decrease the moderators work. Users will be shown notes randomly and let's decide based on points. Mods can perform other duties.

would issues like DMCA and age-inappropriate content monitoring be a part of this ?

I would rather have a separate addon that allows deleting of such content based on the reports and various API. Though the objective of this idea is very different from this. My goal is simply improving

1. Credibility
2. Content authenticity
3. Fake content handling
4. Building Trust
5. Improving SEO

 

[Digital Doctor]

Would it add another “button” or use the report button ?

 

[Alpha1]

No, its different functionality. Its not intended to report anything to the moderators, but a rating system to evaluate content. More akin to how Content Ratings, Reviews and a Reputation System let users evaluate content.

 

[Digital Doctor]

No, its different functionality.

Definitely.

Mobile only has so much space.



I was thinking of renaming report and having a “tabbed popup” with the standard report in one tab and community notes as the other tab.

Or …

Have one of these […] like Reddit

 

[Digital Doctor]

The most obvious location I guess would be here



Maybe replace the icon pencil with an exclamation mark ?

kinda interesting.

Would be interesting to see where that quality rating comes from. Minimum characters perhaps, or some custom algorithm?
