Judge one remark in context
Read a viewer's recent and archived comments before you change their standing or moderate anything.
Feature
Viewer history
One page per viewer: the comments, names and standing your tray has seen, and what was done about them.
This is what your tray has seen, not everything YouTube knows about someone. The page only shows what YouTube made available to the tray. And it never merges two accounts because their names look alike.

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.
Mike
