You haven’t had content moderation questions until you’ve looked at games and user generated content.

It’s such a stupidly thorn intersection of media, user behavior, and tech.

It’s not text, it’s not image, it’s not video - it’s a whole interactive play test.

If your mods don’t walk over the right trigger, they you don’t uncover the “secret” gacha arcade room. Even better - one mod runs the map and finds the room, and sends it for review, but the second mod doesn’t find the same room.

In contrast something like “School shooting simulator” had enough policy training and was obvious enough to be moderated.

People get creative with their tools, I’ve heard of entire copyrighted movies being smuggled into thumbnails.

Bonus points if you realize that this is how good things are for America centric moderation, and how it drops off for other nations and communities.
