Moderation Workflows That Scale

5 Mar 2026 · 6 min read

Every community has a different tolerance for noise. A personal blog might publish everything immediately, while a news outlet wants pre-approval on every comment. The platform supports both extremes and everything in between.

Pre-Moderation

When enabled, comments enter a pending state and are not visible to other visitors until an admin approves them. This is the safest option for high-profile sites but adds latency to conversations.

Post-Moderation

Comments appear immediately but are queued for review. Flagged or low-confidence comments bubble to the top of the moderation queue.

AI-Assisted Screening

The moderation worker can call an external classifier before publishing. Toxic or spammy comments are held automatically and only surface in the admin panel for a final human decision.

The goal is not to eliminate moderation work entirely — it's to focus human attention where it matters most.

Webhook Integration

Every moderation decision fires a comment.moderation.decided.v1 event. Forward it to Slack, Discord, or your internal tooling for real-time visibility.
