How Moderation Works
- User submits a topic or reply
- AI analyzes content before publication
- Content is scored for spam/toxicity/compliance
- Based on scores and thresholds, action is taken:
- Clean content – Published normally
- Suspected issues – Held for review or action taken
- Clear violations – Immediate action (unapprove/ban)
- Moderation results logged for review
