1. A computer-implemented method for moderating user-generated content, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, proposed user-generated content for inclusion in an online database that is accessed from a web-based application;
obtaining, by the computing system, metadata associated with a user providing the proposed user-generated content;
processing, by the computing system, the proposed user-generated content with a reliability engine to generate a value unreliability score, wherein the reliability engine comprises one or more machine-learned models, wherein the value unreliability score is indicative of a probability that unreliable information has been provided;
determining, by the computing system, the value unreliability score exceeds one or more thresholds; and
in response to determining, by the computing system, the value unreliability score meets the one or more thresholds, storing, by the computing system, the proposed user-generated content in the online database.
