Lol, you can tell which commenters have never moderated anything in this thread, IMO. If it weren’t for the high likelihood that these summaries will be wrong an appreciable percentage of the time, this would be a huge help for anyone moderating medium traffic subs. Those types of subs, especially if they have relatively hands-on moderation to keep them from being complete cesspools, often involve seeing a comments or post that is borderline, and feeling like you need to go look through the poster’s history to figure out if they’re a bot or a troll. Something like this that actually worked, especially if it linked back to a sampling of the posts/comments that it is referencing, would be a big help in that. Also something like this that summarized a user’s moderation history would be pretty useful.
Check other websites and tools that already provide summaries on Reddit users

Along the line, discuss with other mods in real time, off platform because Reddit is still not properly accessible.
Anywhere along the way I may feel confident to make a call and skip the rest.
And I only deal with a 30k sub…
That said, Reddit’s already filtering things for likely spam that just aren’t. I don’t have huge confidence in them and I don’t have any confidence in LLMs for this.
