id: design: moderation preset tiers — legible policy presets that compile to concrete rules #6007
Description
Part of the worlds design program: #5955. Wave-2 follow-up from the prior-art research (Lane B item 26); parent topic issue: #5973. Research source: workspace/scratch/worlds-capabilities-brief-2026-11-04/prior-art-research.md.
Precedent
What made third-party moderation bots adoptable was not rule power but legibility: Paladin maps a content rating (G/PG/PG-13/R) to preset AutoMod configurations and re-syncs them; admins choose a tier, not a rule list (https://www.shapedimage.com/paladin-docs.html). No major platform offers first-party cross-community rule-pack subscription with versioning — id would be building ahead of the field, which argues for keeping presets few and dead simple.
Scope
- A small set of named preset tiers (e.g. permissive / standard / strict) for world moderation packs (sibling format follow-up under id: design program: worlds — advanced Roc libraries, capabilities, permissions, dynamic user functions, licensing (2026-11-04 brief) #5955): what each tier concretely sets (filter strictness, report→quarantine threshold defaults, pre-approval on/off).
- Presets compile to concrete rules; a world may then adjust parameters — the preset is a starting point with a name, not a lock.
- Naming/UX: the tier names are user-facing vocabulary; world browsers show them.
Done looks like
A tier table (tier → concrete settings) referenced by the pack format.

Triage — task 10373 (lane code-s)
Verdict: live design issue, small and correctly scoped; child of #5973. Stays OPEN.
Evidence checked fresh 2026-11-05:
Ordering recorded: #6007's tier table sets concrete values (filter strictness, report→quarantine thresholds, pre-approval) that are parameters of the moderation library designed in #5973 and expressed in its pack format — so #5973's interface/parameter model lands first (or the tier table is written explicitly against its draft parameter names). It also inherits #5973's dependency on the #5958 capability model for what a moderation library may do.
No follow-up task enqueued — this issue is itself the work item, already in the queue system. Task 10373 completes as
triaged.
