Harmful Content in Trick Audit Reviews: A Call to Action

Concerning the presence of any offensive content introduced by the audit system's algorithm in the trick audit review questions, if you encounter content containing profanity, racism, hate speech, discriminatory language, illegal activities, violence, explicit material, or any other forms of harmful content, please take appropriate action by disclosing it promptly.

Increased reporting, disclosure, and visibility increase the likelihood of those with the capability to implement impactful technical solutions taking notice.

Here are some reporting tips to maximize visibility and raise awareness

  • Capture screenshots as evidence of the harmful content.
  • Note the relevant URL in the specific section where the system-generated harmful content appears.
  • Share your concerns by posting a question on the https://meta.stackexchange.com/ community.
  • Include supporting evidence for your content when making a post.
  • Remain resilient in the face of responses like:
    • "I've seen much worse"
    • "Not sure it's worth fixing"
    • "It's not a major issue"
    • "Why ask this"
    • "Voting to close"
  • Remain resilient in the face of lack of responses.
  • It's advisable to report every occurrence of observed harmful content as soon as it is noticed.

What about reposting harmful content

If you're hesitant about reposting a screenshot containing harmful content directly in the post, I recommend adding >! before [![Enter image description here][1]][1] in screen shots. This turns it into a screen shot that requires a click to reveal the content rather than displaying it by default. However, it's crucial to include the evidence in the post for awareness purposes.

Here's an example post using the strategy I used when I initially observed this issue. It illustrates how the approach functions, the nature of comments it elicits, and the absence of a direct answer the format of an actual answer.
