Moderate your community

Hide, delete or restore community posts and replies, and set up points and levels.

Community posts and replies are moderated in Community > Moderation, where nothing is ever erased: hidden and deleted posts can be restored.

  1. Open Moderation.
  2. Use Filter by status to show Published, Hidden or Deleted posts.
  3. Click Hide on a post or reply to take it off the community. Click Restore to bring it back.
  4. Click Delete to move it to Deleted. A message offers Undo, and you can restore it later from the Deleted filter.
  5. To act on several posts at once, click Select, tick them, then choose Hide, Restore or delete.
  6. To stop someone posting, open their Member detail in Members and click Suspend. They are signed out and blocked until you reactivate them.

If this didn't work

  • A post you expect isn't in the list. A status filter is on; click Clear filter.
  • Members don't see points or levels. Open Gamification and turn on Enable gamification.

Gamification gives members points for taking part: 2 for a post, 1 for a reply and 1 for each reaction they receive. Under Level ladder you name each level and set the points to reach it; a space can require a level under Required level. Adjust a member's points grants or deducts points by hand, and every change is recorded. When gamification is off, members see no points or levels, level-gated spaces open up, and points keep adding up quietly.
