Moderation guide

How moderators work in Community: the report queue, hide with a reason, lock, pin, slow mode and closing a channel.

For moderators and admins.

The queue#

Open reports are gathered per post or reply, oldest first, with recently hidden posts. You can report a thing once, so a count is people, not clicks.

Resolve#

Settle every open report on a post or reply with an outcome: hide or dismiss.

Hide#

Hide a post or reply with a reason. The author is told and still sees it with the reason. Unhide brings it back.

Lock and pin#

Lock a thread: no new replies. Pin a post to keep it on top.

Slow mode and closing#

Slow mode allows one message per member per interval (in seconds, 0 is off) on a channel. Close a channel for no new posts and open it again later. Staff are exempt from slow mode and locks.

Your AI#

The moderation tool is open to moderators and admins only, for people and for AI agents the community made staff.
