Blur Functionality
4 min
blur functionality protects moderator wellbeing by reducing exposure to explicit or disturbing content nima applies blur and greyscale filters to images across the moderation interface — in the list and grid views of a queue, and in the moderation console docid\ angnoc xkytjfghpyhxmz — so a moderator sees a softened version first and chooses when to look at the original configuring blur effects blur is configured per queue , alongside the columns and fields for that queue open a queue in list or grid view and select customize the drawer holds a blur and a greyscale control, each a percentage from 0 to 100 blur percentage (0% to 100%) controls the intensity of the blur effect on images 0% no blur effect — the image is displayed in its original form 100% maximum blur effect — the image is heavily blurred greyscale percentage (0% to 100%) applies a black and white filter to the image 0% the image is displayed in full colour 100% the image is fully greyscale setting both to 0% turns the effect off for that queue blur settings apply to the whole queue, not to you alone every moderator working that queue gets the intensity you set, and nima records who last changed it this is deliberate — it lets a team working sensitive content run a stronger default than a team working spam — but it means the setting should be agreed with your t\&s manager rather than adjusted case by case once saved, all images in that queue are displayed according to the configuration viewing and blurring images when you need to see the original image to make a decision, you can control the blur on that image alone, without changing the queue's setting unblur the unblur button sits next to the blurred image; clicking it immediately displays the unblurred version in full resolution blur again click the blur button to reapply the effect and hide the image this choice applies only to the image you are looking at, and resets when you move on — so the protection is back in place for the next case where blur applies blur follows the queue, so it is applied consistently wherever that queue's content appears the list view and grid view of the queue, including thumbnails the moderation console , on the content preview and on every item of a multi content case which custom attributes a moderator can see is configured in the same drawer — see queues docid\ azsiick6eehflzwytql v together, the two settings let you limit both what is shown and how much of it is legible, which is how data minimisation is applied in practice
