Content Moderation

You can use this template for a content moderation project.

This template displays text from your source data, and then allows an annotator to pick any combination of content moderation labels. If the pre-configured options are not sufficient, they can add context or comments in the provided text area.

About the labeling configuration

Text

<Text name="text" value="$text"/>

This displays the text that needs moderation. There are multiple ways to import text files. See the Text tag documentation and our import documentation.

Choices

<Choices name="content_moderation" toName="text" choice="multiple" showInline="false">
    <Choice value="Toxic" background="red"/>
    <Choice value="Severely Toxic" background="brown"/>
    <Choice value="Obscene" background="green"/>
    <Choice value="Threat" background="blue"/>
    <Choice value="Insult" background="orange"/>
    <Choice value="Hate" background="grey"/>
</Choices>

The tag provides a set of six class labels for the text. Because choice="multiple", annotators can select more than one label if they apply. The showInline="false" parameter puts each option on a separate line rather than side-by-side.

Text area

<TextArea name="comments" toName="text" required="false"/>

The text area block (wrapped in a styled <View>) prompts annotators for optional comments on why they picked certain labels or any other observations they want to add.
