Moderations

Community moderation on autopilot

The guardrails under everything else you build. A problem gets contained the moment a member flags it, and every action taken is yours to review or reverse.

The first move belongs to members

— Member Blocking

Members can hide anyone

Block someone and they disappear: their profile, their posts, all of it. It is a personal setting, so there is no ticket to file and nothing for you to approve.

— Blocked Members

Members keep their own blocklist

Everyone a member has blocked sits in their account settings with an Unblock button beside them. Undoing it is theirs to do, so it never becomes your support ticket.

— Member Reporting

Report members, not just individual posts

Some problems are not one bad comment, they are a pattern across many. A member can report the person, and it lands beside every block that person has already collected.

You decide what counts as a problem

— Reporting Category

The reasons members pick are yours to write

It arrives with the categories most communities need, each with a short description. Keep them, reword them in your own voice, or delete the ones your space will never use.

A category set to apply to content to members or to both

— Show When Reporting

Harassment on people, misinformation on posts

Each category applies to content, to members, or to both, so the reasons a member sees always match the thing they are flagging.

— automate —

Set the number, then step back

— Auto Hide

It hides itself at the limit you set

Set a report threshold per content type and anything crossing it hides itself, with no admin present. A group and a photo can carry very different tolerances.

Per content type report thresholds for auto hiding content

— Auto Suspend

Suspend before it becomes your problem

One threshold counts blocks, the other counts reports. Cross either and the member is suspended on the spot, so one bad night never becomes a bad week.

— Email Notification

You hear about it before a member tells you

Automation is only comfortable if you hear about it. Every automatic suspension emails your administrators, so nobody finds out from an annoyed member first.

— resolve —

Every block and report, counted per member

— Flagged Members

One screen for everyone who has been flagged

Blocks and reports roll up per member, with the numbers beside each name. Filter by blocked, reported or already suspended, and a one-off complaint stops looking like a habit.

A single table of reported content of every type with owners

— Reported Content

Photos, groups and forum replies, same table

Everything reported arrives in one table, each item with its owner. Narrow it to a single content type, or to what is currently hidden, and work the pile down.

— View Report

Who reported it, why, and when

Open a flagged member and the whole file opens too: every reporter, the reason they picked, every blocker, timestamps on all of it. You act on evidence, not a number.
