Feature
Training
Answer the tray's questions one comment at a time, and keep a record of every call you make.
Training deals you the tray's questions one at a time, each with the AI's reading of the comment. Your answers are recorded, and they help you judge whether a category is ready for Auto. That stays your call: you can switch to Auto even when the advice says wait. Training doesn't retrain the AI, and it doesn't promise the next call will be better.

Outcomes
What you can do with it
Work through what's waiting
Take the oldest comment waiting in Needs review, on a card of its own.
Every answer is kept
Each hold-or-keep answer is saved with the comment, and so is any change of mind later.
Look back at your answers
Use them later to check your moderation policy.
The path
How it works
Open Training
The cards are the same comments that are waiting in Needs review.
Read the card
See the comment, the tray's reason and the context before you decide.
Choose a side
On a question, Bad comment holds it on YouTube and Good comment keeps it up. On a Your call card, both buttons only save your judgement; they do not change the comment on YouTube. Skip leaves the item for later.
It stays on record
Your answer stays in the comment's history.
Practise first if you like
Settings has a practice tray: ten of your own recent comments, sorted for practice only. Nothing changes on YouTube or in your tray.
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.
