| Dataset Summary: |
|
|
| - The data collection was limited to public online communities to comply with the platform's privacy policy. |
| - We leveraged a [Pushshift Reddit API](https://reddit-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) to scrape posts from 40 subreddits daily across four different domains from Aug 24 to October 28, 2022, resulting in 104,674 posts. |
| - To enhance the ecological validity of the study findings, we used a [PRAW API](https://praw.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) to perform another round of data collection of the collected posts 2 months later to validate whether the post content was moderated or not. |
| - Thereafter, we used a snowballing approach to collect the corresponding comments on all the posts. |
| - The metadata includes post content, post time, comment content, comment time, karma score, etc. |
| - We set a threshold for the minimum number of comments to 2 and an upper bound for the number of direct comments to 15 to facilitate the extraction of graph-based structural information. |
| - The final dataset consists of 8,511 moderated posts and another 8,511 not moderated posts. |
| - All the posts were commented on, with a total of 148,344 comments. |

| Data Fields for HumanMOD_Posts dataset: |
| - Reddit_ID: the unique identifiers for Reddit posts, which serve as the foreign keys bridging to the HumanMOD_Comments dataset. |
| - Subreddits: the names of subreddits |
| - Titles: the titles of Reddit posts |
| - Body: post content, which is an extended description of a post |
| - Author: the authors of posts |
| - URLs: the web addresses of Reddit posts |
| - Labels: (0) -- The post is not moderated; (1) -- The post is moderated by moderators. |
| |
| Data Fields for HumanMOD_Comments dataset: |
| - Parent ID: the unique identifiers for parent comments |
| - Comment ID: the unique identifiers for child comments, the ones that reply to the parent comments |
| - Comment Body: the content of child comments |
| - Score: the karma scores of child comments |
| - Author: the authors of child comments |
| - Post ID: the specific Reddit post identifiers to which the child comment should be associated, which serve as the foreign keys bridging to the HumanMOD_Posts dataset. |
