Scalable Moderation
Reduce manual review time by letting AI surface posts that matter most.
Getting Started with Quality Detection
Feature Enablement Required: AI Content Quality Detection is an advanced feature that must be enabled by our support team. Contact your account manager or reach out to support to activate this feature for your application.
Customizing Quality Definitions
Every application has unique standards for what makes content valuable. social.plus allows you to customize quality detection criteria to match your application’s specific needs and culture.Custom Quality Definitions
Custom Quality Definitions
Work with our team to define the most suitable quality definitions for your application:
- Default Quality Definitions: The content can be anything in social network. Add a bonus point for a review, reaction, tip, movie and lifestyle. The message should be clear and easy to understand, even if written casually.
Continuous Refinement
Continuous Refinement
Quality detection improves over time as it learns from your application:
- Share examples of posts you consider excellent or problematic
- Provide feedback on scoring accuracy through our support team
- Request periodic reviews to ensure criteria remain aligned with evolving application standards
- Access reporting on quality trends to inform strategy adjustments
Implementation Timeline: After requesting enablement, our team will work with you to configure quality definitions.
Understanding Quality Labels
Each post displaying text content receives one of five quality labels:Excellent
Excellent
Fully relevant, strongly written—clear, structured, expressive, and likely to engage.These posts demonstrate exceptional quality with well-structured content that drives meaningful discussions. They’re ideal candidates for featuring or pinning.Characteristics:
- Clear, focused message aligned with community topics
- Well-organized with proper formatting
- Engaging tone that invites interaction
- Comprehensive yet concise
Good
Good
Relevant and well-written with minor room for improvement in clarity or structure.Quality contributions that meet community standards. These posts are valuable but may lack the polish of excellent content.Characteristics:
- Clear relevance to community
- Generally well-structured
- Minor formatting or clarity issues
- Solid foundation for engagement
Fair
Fair
Moderately relevant or adequately written, but lacks depth or polish.Acceptable contributions that don’t violate guidelines but may not drive significant engagement.Characteristics:
- Basic relevance maintained
- Minimal structure or detail
- Could benefit from elaboration
- Meets minimum standards
Weak
Weak
Low relevance or poorly written—unclear, unstructured, or minimally engaging.These posts may require moderator review to determine if they should remain visible or if author guidance is needed.Characteristics:
- Unclear purpose or relevance
- Poor structure or formatting
- Minimal effort or substance
- Low engagement potential
Broken
Broken
Irrelevant, unintelligible, or severely lacking in quality—likely spam or off-topic.Content that should be reviewed immediately for potential removal. Often indicates spam, off-topic content, or severe quality issues.Characteristics:
- No clear relevance to community
- Unintelligible or nonsensical
- Possible spam or abuse
- Requires immediate attention
Text Content Only: Quality detection analyzes text content exclusively. Posts containing only media (images, videos, files) without text will not display a quality label. Posts with both text and media are scored based on the text content.
Viewing Quality Labels
Quality labels appear automatically on posts throughout the Console:1
User History - Posted Tab
View quality labels on all posts authored by a specific user to assess their overall contribution quality.
2
Posts & Comments Page - Posted Tab
See quality labels on all posted content across communities and contexts.
3
Hover for Details
Hover over any quality label to see a tooltip explaining what that score means and why it was assigned.
Quality labels are not displayed on Pending, Scheduled, Pinned, Global Featured, Community Featured, or Deleted tabs. They appear only in the Posted tab and User History.

Quality Label Best Practices
Trust but Verify
Trust but Verify
Quality labels provide guidance, not absolute rules. Always review flagged content and use your judgment for edge cases.Considerations:
- Cultural context and community norms
- Technical content may appear “weak” but be highly valuable
- Short announcements may score lower but serve clear purposes
Balanced Moderation
Balanced Moderation
Don’t remove content solely based on quality labels—focus on policy violations and community guidelines.Guidelines:
- “Broken” posts → Review for spam/off-topic removal
- “Weak” posts → Consider author guidance before removal
- “Fair” posts → Generally acceptable, may improve over time
Recognition Programs
Recognition Programs
Leverage quality data to identify and reward top contributors.Ideas:
- Monthly highlights of users with consistent “Excellent” posts
- Community badges for quality contributors
- Feature “Post of the Week” based on quality + engagement
Privacy & Transparency: Quality labels are visible only to administrators and moderators with appropriate permissions. Community members do not see quality scores on their own or others’ posts.
Community-Level Overview
When filtering by a community you can also see:- Total posts in period
- Member count
- Pending posts
- Flagged posts/comments
- Last activity timestamp
- Community type (Public / Private)
Filtering & Discovery
- Basic Filters
- Quality Filters
- Date & Range
- Escalation Review
- Quality Audits
Use feed type, context selector, and status tabs to narrow results. Combine with flag toggle for urgent reviews. Use Search posts to jump straight to posts containing a keyword or hashtag (see Searching Posts by Keyword & Hashtag below).
Searching Posts by Keyword & Hashtag
The Search posts field on the Posted tab lets you locate posts by their text content — including hashtags — without scrolling through the full feed.1
Open the Posted Tab
From Posts and comments → Posts, stay on (or switch to) the Posted tab where the search field lives above the post list.
2
Type Your Query
Click into Search posts and start typing. Results update automatically as you type (search-as-you-type, with a short debounce) — no need to press Enter. Matched terms are highlighted directly in the post text within the results.
3
Search by Hashtag
Include the # symbol to search for a specific hashtag (e.g.
#DocsHashtagDemo). The console matches posts containing that hashtag in their body text; hashtags themselves render as clickable links within posts.4
Clear the Search
Click the × icon inside the search field to clear your query and return to the full list.
Search results respect any other active filters — feed type (All feeds / User feed / Community feed), creator, status, and visibility — so you can combine a keyword/hashtag search with these selectors to narrow results further (e.g. search “promo” within a single community’s “Active in feed” posts).
If no posts match your query, the list shows No results found — Try changing the search keywords. Double-check spelling, try a shorter/partial term, or remove the # to search the surrounding text instead of the exact tag.
Filtering by Date Range
The date range picker in the top-right of Posts and comments management limits the list to content created inside a window you choose. By default it reads Showing all time content — no date filter is applied.Choosing a Range
1
Open the Picker
Click Showing all time content (or the current range) in the page header. A panel opens with quick presets on the left and a two-month calendar on the right.
2
Pick a Preset
Choose Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 6 month, or This year. Presets apply immediately and close the picker — no confirmation needed.
3
Or Build a Custom Range
Click a start date, then an end date. Use the arrows above the calendar to move between months (single arrows move one month, double arrows move one year). Click Apply to run it, or Cancel to discard.
4
Read the Result
The header shows the active window (e.g. 01 Jul 2026 - 15 Jul 2026) and a Total posts count appears above the list. On the Comments & Replies tab the count reads Total comments and replies.
5
Clear the Filter
Click the × on the date control to return to all-time content. The total count disappears with it.
The range filters on creation date. A post created inside the window still appears when its Last activity timestamp falls outside the window, so an old thread with recent comments won’t surface unless its creation date matches.
Scope and Behavior
Quality filters are the exception: they work independently and cannot be combined with a date range. Apply one or the other in a given pass.

Hiding & Unhiding Posts
Hiding gives moderators a quick, reversible way to pull a post out of circulation without permanently deleting it — useful for content that’s under review, contested, or only mildly against guidelines.Hiding a post removes it from all feeds (community, user, global, search). The creator can still see it on their own profile, and any moderator can reverse the action via Unhide at any time.
Hiding a Post
1
Open the Action Menu
In Posts & Comments (or User History → Posted), find the post and click the (⋮) menu on its row.
2
Select Hide post
Choose Hide post. Optionally add a Reason (up to 250 characters) — this documents the rationale for audit trails and team handoffs.
3
Confirm
Click Hide. The post disappears from all feeds immediately, and its row now displays a Hidden by badge with the moderator’s avatar.
Restoring a Hidden Post
1
Open the Action Menu
On a hidden post (identifiable by its Hidden by badge), click the (⋮) menu — it now shows Unhide post in place of Hide post.
2
Confirm Unhide
Select Unhide post, optionally add a reason, then click Unhide. The post becomes visible in all feeds again immediately and everyone can interact with it as before.
Finding Hidden Posts
On the Posted tab, use the Select visibility filter (alongside the feed and creator selectors) and choose Hidden to list only posts that are currently hidden — useful for periodic reviews or to confirm an action took effect. Switch back to Active in feed (or clear the filter) to see posts visible in the feed.Hide vs. Delete: Hiding is reversible and keeps the post intact and visible to its creator; deleting permanently removes the post from the Posted tab into Deleted. Prefer hiding for borderline cases or while awaiting further review, and reserve deletion for clear policy violations.
