Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 65 rows came out of a blueprint — 16 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each moderation task has a unique ID and timestamp.
  • Content type, severity, and flagging reason must be recorded.
  • Escalation path and reviewer assignment are logged for every task.
  • Resolution status and time-to-resolution are required.
  • Audit entries are immutable after creation.
