Sorry, I meant spam. If anyone can post a comment, and only "illegal" comments can be removed, that would surely allow a lot of email-style spam.

That is a fair question/comment. In my original comment "Limit use of automated content moderation only for easy to solve cases like child pornography." . It is reasonable to extent that list beyond just child pornography. I did not intend to give impression than this list is exhaustive.

In case of spam - Emails do show you spam emails, just hide them behind a spam folder. So instead of outright removal, it is possible to use similar techniques. And let users decide whether they ever want to see spam comments.

Seems like you're just back to square one there.

You're making a list of unacceptable content. Whatever you put on there, someone's going to disagree.

Whether it's automated or not probably isn't the issue.

I see a lot of comment sections ruined by the typical bot spam (e.g. "I earn $5000 a minute working from home for Google").
