The waste of resources on detecting what is decidedly "toxic" on internet forums is insanity. If you want to police communities online hire moderators, if your platform is so big you ""can't"" have moderators moderate then you are not in a position to be policing the platform. If you want to build puritanical devices to spam your moderators into doing a human review than that is your business but the use of machine learning for any sort of proactive policing is going to be a parody that will result in a sterile environment and/or a lot of bitter users.
