Welcome to hell! As a new moderator for the Cursed AI Facebook Group, Anything you can do to help maintain a positive and respectful environment is very appreciated. Here’s a little guide to help you navigate our modding processes if you feel like jumping in:
- Getting Started with Moderation:
- Check out the group rules at the bottom of this page, they outline the majority of moderation guidelines.
- Common content to remove includes off-topic posts, reposts, inappropriate material such as explicit or gory content, political posts, ragebait posts, and queries about apps.
- Check “Member Reported Content” and the Group’s post feed for any issues. Sorting posts by “new posts” is a good way to see the most recent stuff coming in.
- Don’t stress if you can’t address every issue immediately; other moderators will assist as needed.
- Handling “Member Reported Content”:
- If a post is in “Member Reported Content”, either leave it in the queue or delete it. ** Do not approve reported posts.** Facebook has previously penalized our group for approving questionable content.
- Avoid Approving ANY member reported posts. Never use the ‘Keep’ option
- Only remove content if deemed necessary. If unsure, discuss with other moderators. It’s okay if member reported content is left in queue.
- Managing Conflicts and Hate Speech:
- Ragebait posts tend to turn into toxic cesspools. Shut down posts that generate significant conflict, either by turning off comments or deleting the post.
- At your discretion you can suspend or ban toxic individuals who engage in hate speech. Simply removing their comments or posts won’t be sufficient; these individuals often persist.
- Keep in mind that mandatory post approval may be imposed by Facebook if the group incurs further penalties.
- Sometimes, rule-breaking posts gain significant traction before they are addressed. This often leads to a backlash against the moderation team, but it’s part of maintaining group standards.
- Spam Posts:
- Under the ‘Potential Spam’ section, decline all posts.
- Pending Posts:
- Do not approve or allow posts under ‘Pending Posts’ as they might contain unsafe content flagged by Facebook.
- Activity Log Check:
- Use the ‘Activity Log’ to track the latest moderation activities.
- Moderating new posts based on the time since the last moderation activity is helpful.
Thank you for helping to ensure that our community remains a safe, respectful, and enjoyable space for all members. Your contributions are greatly appreciated!
