Spam Filter Announcement

[Samsung_Ben]

Hey Samsung Members 💙,

We hope all of you are enjoying your time in the Samsung Members community! Our team is working hard to ensure that your experience here is helpful, safe and fun. Part of this includes removing harmful posts or spam.

To work towards our goal of creating a healthy and safe community, we introduced a spam filter (active since June 14th, 2021) that automatically marks any suspicious or harmful activity as spam. Posts marked as spam are subsequently hidden.

On average, our spam filter and moderation team together remove almost 900 harmful posts a month. We are still in the process of improving its learning pattern to better detect harmful posts from regular posts. This spam filter is based on machine learning, and therefore, requires time to learn the patterns of our community. As the filter is learning these patterns, it may occasionally hide completely harmless posts.

We want to reiterate that our Samsung Members team will not delete posts that do not violate our community guidelines, including:

• Being courteous to others
• Staying on topic and posting in the relevant forums
• Zero tolerance for all forms of bullying, including harassment and abuse
• Maintaining integrity in the community
• Protecting private/personal information

Posts that respectfully critique the company/products (i.e. complaints and feedback) are NOT categorized as posts that violate these guidelines. We value the voices of our customers.

We expect the spam filter to improve and learn as more posts are made over time. In the meantime, if you believe that any of your posts are incorrectly removed, please reach out to our community moderators. We will restore them as soon as possible. If your post is not restored within 24 hours, please contact @Samsung_Ben directly. If you notice a spam post that is not removed quickly, please flag it for our team by selecting “Report Inappropriate Content” from your app.

As always, thank you for your support and contribution to the Samsung Members Community!

Cheers,

The Samsung Members Team

How's that "machine learning" working out?

ML is to observe trends, nothing else. On a forum covering a wide range of topics which includes a free-for-all unvetted gallery, this is an incredibly dimwitted idea. Everything is discussed here so the trends include everything, so everything is kept. It will catch out-of-the-ordinary spam but you need very little to trump the ML-based automated filter.

Hey @Samsung_Ben I guess spam filter works like a charm, eh? https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/tablets/ipad/td-p/16198479

Looking for some clarification here, are you referring to the Moderators, or... the Spam filter announcement.. thusfar, they seem to be interchangeable in their efficacy... 🙄 

[btrthnvr]

Shush... They'll delete this comment too 😂

There's a good chance that, there's an ongoing search for the definition of "efficacy".. Should buy some time. Also Saturday afternoon in Belize, so it's Piña Colada time 🤣
