Auto Mod provides a queue for flagged messages to be moderated.

Words within a submitted comment are checked against a dictionary of “bad” words, i.e. swear words and other profanities. If they match a word in the dictionary, the comment is automatically held for moderation.

The effect of a message being held for moderation is:

  • A message is shown to the user explaining the message has been held for moderation

  • The message is not posted to the Chat window

  • The message populates the Auto Mod queue

Using the Auto Mod queue

  1. From Chat, select the Chat settings cog then select Mod Tools

  2. Choose Auto Mod from the selector

  3. There are 3 options against each message:

    • Accept - posts the message to the Chat window for all users

    • Reject - discards the message

    • Ban User - discards the message and bans the user. For more information on the effects of banning, see
