Travel Site Uses LLM for Moderation but Lets Humans Have the Final Say on Negative Reviews
A developer building 'Back From My Trip', a travel review site, has designed an AI moderation pipeline that explicitly protects negative reviews from being automatically rejected. The system assigns every piece of content a moderation status — approved, needs_review, or rejected — with row-level database security ensuring only approved content is publicly visible. While the AI can approve content autonomously, it cannot issue a final rejection for text-based opinions; any AI-flagged rejection is routed to a human admin queue for confirmation or override. When the moderation system fails or exceeds its budget, content defaults to needs_review rather than auto-approval, ensuring failures never allow spam through or silence a legitimate opinion. The developer also patched an early security flaw where client-side text could be swapped before moderation, replacing it with a server-side trigger system that processes only stored row IDs.
