Core moderation capabilities
Warnings with escalation
Warn first, then escalate automatically. A typical ladder is delete → warn → temporary mute → ban for repeat violations.
Temporary mutes
Mute members for minutes or hours to cool down arguments, stop floods, or handle “accidental” rule breaking without permanent bans.
Permanent bans (when needed)
Ban bad actors, scammers, and obvious spammers. During raids, stricter defaults keep the group stable.
Keyword + link filtering
Remove messages containing banned words, phrases, or domains. This is effective against recurring promos and scam campaigns.
Automated rule enforcement
Auto-moderation rules let you handle common violations instantly, while still leaving room for human judgment.
Logs & accountability
Keep an audit trail of who took what action, when, and why—especially important when multiple moderators manage the same community.
Operational best practices
- Standardize reasons (e.g., “promo link”, “hate speech”, “flooding”) so moderation feels fair.
- Separate new members from trusted members with stricter rules for the first hour/day.
- Prefer temporary actions for ambiguous cases; reserve bans for clear spam/scams or repeat offenders.
- Review the filter lists monthly—spam language evolves.

FAQ
What moderation actions should be automatic?
Automate obvious violations: repeated floods, known scam links, banned keywords, and unverified new members posting links. Keep edge cases for human moderators.
How many warnings before muting or banning?
A common baseline is 1–2 warnings before a temporary mute, then a ban for repeated violations. During raids, skip warnings and use stricter actions for new accounts.
Can moderators make mistakes?
Yes. That’s why logs matter. Use standardized reasons and a simple appeal process so genuine members can be reinstated quickly.
How do I prevent moderators from stepping on each other’s actions?
Use clear roles and shared audit logs. When possible, centralize actions through consistent workflows so the team has a shared view.
Do filters harm engagement?
Overly broad filters can. Start conservative, monitor false positives, and tune based on what gets removed (and why).
