The Litter Tray

Feature

Edited comments

See what changed after a comment was posted.

Review revisions the tray observed and compare the wording. An observed edit can be assessed again, while your explicit allow or restore decision still prevents a new hold. Comment detail shows the revisions the tray observed and marks what changed while the text remains under the retention policy.

An illustration of Edit history, with the earlier wording beside the edited wording and the record underneath.

The path

How it works

  1. The tray sees an edit

    A changed timestamp and body mark a new stored revision.

  2. The revision is recorded

    The revisions the tray retains stay linked in comment detail.

  3. The new words are checked

    The current wording can be checked again by each AI rule you have switched on.

  4. Open Edit history

    Read the before-and-after text, then review Assessments and The record elsewhere on the same page.

  5. The one-way door

    A comment you put back, or allowed as your override, is settled: your allow beats everything, everywhere, and the tray does not re-hold it.

Built by a creator, for his own channel first

I built the moderator my own channel needed.

Hey friends, I'm Mike. My channel grew to 50,000 subscribers, and the comments grew well past 50,000 with it. No one creator can read every comment at that size. I really valued the community that built up around my channel, but the volume and intensity of comments was overwhelming.

When the trolls started taking over the time I wanted to spend with the lovely community around my channel, I dusted off the toolkit and built The Litter Tray around the rules and restraint I wanted near my own audience. I want creators to be able to get set up in seconds, spend a few minutes setting the rules that matter to them, and make persistent trolls much harder to miss, so they can get back to making videos.
