Express context
Describe a moderation policy that a word or pattern rule would miss.
Feature
Plain-language rules
Write what an AI rule should look for in your own words, then preview it against sample text.
Blocked words cannot catch every meaning. A custom AI rule can express the context you care about, but it starts switched off, is always set to Test, and only applies to comments the tray sees after you save it.

Outcomes
What you can do with it
Preview without acting
After saving, test sample text before enabling the rule for future comments.
Every rule keeps score
Every rule shows how often it has fired, when it last did, and which version is running.
The path
How it works
Choose New custom rule
Describe what you want caught and the tray suggests which kind of rule fits, or pick the kind yourself.
Write the rule
Add ordinary-language instructions, choose how sure the AI should be, and say who the rule protects.
Create the disabled rule
Saving keeps the rule off until you are ready to use it.
Preview, then switch it on.
Open the saved rule, preview sample wording without taking action, then switch it on. Rules you write always ask first.
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 valued the community that built up around my channel, but the volume and intensity of the comments were overwhelming.
When trolls started taking the time I wanted to spend with that community, I dusted off the toolkit and built The Litter Tray around the rules and restraint I wanted for my own audience. I want other creators to get set up in minutes, set the rules that matter to them, and make persistent trolls much harder to miss, so they can get back to making videos.
