Is there a number of reports needed to get a comment deleted? or is it not automatic?

I believe that it's not automatic and that there are a group of employees who moderate these.

Employees that check every reported comments on many different languages??? Seems difficult but not impossible – Carlos Muñoz Dec 22 '10 at 17:00
That's a big assumption on my part. There's nothing to say that they do anything like that, or even anything at all. Or that they get through even a quarter of the reports. – Piers Karsenbarg Dec 22 '10 at 17:01

You may want to check the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and see if the comment actually needs to be reported.

I believe it increases in moderation down the list.

Spam or scam
Alot of users spam other walls with their Facebook pages or groups.

Contains hate speech or attacks an individual
This could just be a heated argument between two users with nothing better to do than argue over Facebook.

Violence, crime, or self-harm
Here it becomes near a legal issue so I would believe the moderation is very tight here.

Nudity, pornography, or sexually explicit content
Same as above. Without even the need for report. I have some friends who were models that placed up their semi-nude shots only to be removed immediately after.

There must be some sort of issues handling service that rates the reports. Because there are many times that I have reported comments only to realize the page admin could have just removed the comment.
