About this block

Violation Trends Panel is the reporting view for policy volume, eight weeks of reports rendered as stacked bars segmented by category (Spam and solicitation, Harassment, Misinformation, Hate speech). Each bar height scales to that week total and the segments split by category share, all drawn from foreground opacity swatches with no color literals. A note under the chart names the Jun 8 spam spike, the coordinated campaign behind it, and the automation rule shipped Jun 12 that has cut spam every week since. The right panel breaks each category down with its total, its trailing four week delta, a share bar, and a callout flagging misinformation as the fastest rising category.

Weeks and categories are typed arrays and every total, share, and grand total derives from them, so a data swap keeps the chart and the breakdown in sync. Deltas render with an up or down arrow driven by sign, never by a hardcoded direction.

When to use

Reach for this block on the moderation analytics page, wired to your reports warehouse aggregated by week and category. Pair the Export report button with the same query so a stakeholder deck matches the panel exactly.

A natural flow around it on an Application Pro page:

What you can display

One strong use is the weekly violation trend review. Other trends panel configurations:

• Automated vs member. Two stacks side by side comparing detector hits against human reports per week.
• Single category drill. One category expanded across more weeks with its own subtype breakdown.
• Post enforcement view. Bars colored by outcome, removed versus dismissed, to show action rate over time.

Tip: keep the spike annotation tied to the action you took; a trend chart earns its place only when it explains what changed and what you shipped in response.
