Rules that read every post so your moderators do not have to
A single human reviewing everything works at small scale and collapses at large scale. Advanced Moderation runs your rules against every post and reply the moment it is submitted, so the obvious cases are handled before anyone opens the queue.
You get four ways to describe bad content. A keyword rule matches an exact word or a comma-separated list, so one rule can cover “buy now, click here, limited offer”. A regex rule runs a full pattern for the things a word list cannot catch, like phone-number formats or obfuscated spam. A link-limit rule triggers when a post carries more than a set number of links, which catches the classic five-to-ten-link spam post while leaving a genuine “here are some resources” reply alone. A spam-score rule uses Jetonomy’s own 0 to 100 probability, built from content patterns, account age, and posting frequency, with 80 as a sensible starting threshold.
Four actions, least restrictive first
Matching content is only half the rule. The other half is what happens next, and you set that per rule. Flag lets the content publish but drops it into the moderation queue for a second look. Hold keeps it pending and invisible until a moderator approves it. Block rejects the post outright and shows the member an error. Spam hides it immediately.
The right default is the lightest action that solves the problem: Flag for borderline content, Hold for likely-bad content, and Block or Spam only for the clearly harmful. Because Advanced Moderation sits on top of the free trust-level system, which already rate-limits Trust Level 0 accounts, these rules are a content layer, not your only line of defense.
Scope and stats to keep it honest
Rules are global or space-scoped. Global rules enforce site-wide policy such as prohibited words or competitor spam. Space-scoped rules match one space’s norms, so a support space can block every link to stop phishing while another space allows them freely.
Every rule carries a trigger count and, when you open it, a breakdown by action, by space, and over time. That data is how you tune. A rule that fires constantly and sends everything to spam is catching legitimate posts, and the numbers make that obvious so you can loosen the threshold instead of quietly losing real members’ content.
