Hi,
I have configured the “Triage posts using AI” automation for content moderation on my platform (madeira.community — a multilingual business directory for Madeira island).
The automation works perfectly for public posts. However, I enabled “Include personal messages” option and found that DMs between regular users are not being scanned at all.
My concern is real: bad actors can use private messages to conduct illegal activities — drug dealing, sharing stolen financial data, grooming — while completely bypassing AI moderation that works fine on public content.
My questions:
-
Does “Include personal messages” actually support scanning DMs between two regular users (non-staff)?
-
If not — is this by design or a known limitation?
-
Is there any supported way to apply AI triage to private messages between regular users?
I found a reference to a commit “Skip PM scanning in LLM triage by default” which suggests this may be intentional. But the UI option exists — so I am confused about what it actually does.
Thank you
