When to use it
Use it to write moderation guidelines for a community, a content platform or any product with comments, or to train new moderators. The three-way split after automated screening is the point: clear cases are handled automatically and only uncertain ones reach a person.
Make it yours
- Keep the rules themselves out of the nodes; put them in a guidelines document and reference it under the chart.
- With a publish-first approach, move Publish earlier and place human review after it.
- Images, video and text may differ; copy the chart for each.

Draw a content moderation flowchart with Mermaid flowchart TD syntax. A user submits content and automated screening gives three outcomes: clear content is published, a violation is rejected with a reason, and uncertain content goes to a human review queue where a moderator publishes or rejects it. After a rejection the user may appeal to a senior moderator; an upheld appeal is published, otherwise the rejection stands. Published content is monitored along with user reports, and a problem leads to removal and logging. Use diamonds for decisions and no parentheses in node text. Output only the mermaid code block.
FAQ
- Can a diamond have three exits?
Yes. Draw three labeled lines from the same diamond, as with Clear, Violation and Uncertain here.
- How do I show response times?
Add a line break in the node, such as
Moderator reviews<br/>within 30 minutes.- Can I base our rules on this chart?
The chart shows steps and flow only. Write the rules from applicable law and your own community guidelines.
