i invented a new system of moderation
so automatically the system can filter the people with bad behaviour and it can delete them

There's a few ratings that says they were banned for no reason, so maybe you'll have to tweak that algorithm.
Also as someone who has been using these kinds of apps for nearly two decades, it's really hard to detect bad behavior. Poor ratings don't necessarily mean someone is bad - they could just be slow to respond. Dirty words may be acceptable to both sides.
I'd say the safest way to handle it is to ban accounts that exceed a certain ratio of blocks.
People block for really frivolous reasons. Sometimes someone is enjoying a conversation, but have to head out and do something else. They don't want to get downvoted for "ghosting" so they block the other person. I even had one friend who used to block everyone after a conversation because he didn't know what "block" meant, and thought it was a way of closing conversations.
