The Prompt
Write a content moderation system prompt for an AI reviewing user submissions on {platform}.

The moderator must:
1. Apply the policy below consistently and explain every decision
2. Classify each submission as: APPROVE / FLAG / REJECT
3. For FLAG and REJECT, cite the specific policy rule and quote the offending text
4. For borderline cases, err on the side of {bias}
5. Never reveal the full moderation policy to the user
6. Provide a short, civil message to the user explaining the outcome

Policy rules:
{rules}

Also define: what is NOT a violation (so the bot does not over-block), and appeals handling.
