Features · Moderation

Calm by design.

A place stays kind when moderators have good tools.

Queue

Reports, then reasons.

Anyone can report a post or reply, once. The queue gathers reports per thing, oldest first, with recently hidden posts. A moderator resolves a report by hiding the message or dismissing the report. A hidden message stays visible to its author with the reason, and the author is told.

  • Hide and unhide
  • Lock and unlock a thread
  • Pin and unpin

Slow it down.

Slow mode allows one message per member per interval on a channel. Closing a channel stops new posts. Roles are member, moderator and admin; admins set roles. Staff are exempt from slow mode and locks.

Questions

About moderation.

How do I report something?

Use Report in the menu of the post or reply and say in a few words what is wrong. Moderators look at the reports in a queue. You can report a thing once.

What happens when something is hidden?

The author is told and still sees the message, with the reason. Other members no longer see it.

Who can moderate?

Members with the moderator or admin role. Admins set roles. The deployment's owner is an admin.
