Moderator settings for hubs

Allow members to submit posts, automate certain moderation workflows using the text analysis capabilities of AI and Machine Learning, and choose whether to receive email notifications about submissions.

Prerequisites:

  • Enable AI and Machine Learning

    To use sentiment tagging and analysis, you must first enable AI and Machine Learning, and accept the terms and conditions.

  • English is the only supported language for the initial release.

With AI and Machine Learning, you can automatically tag, approve, and publish posts by sentiment.

Sentiment tagging can also be helpful even if you prefer to manually approve submitted content. It allows you to select, publish, or reject posts of a certain sentiment in batches when you moderate submissions.

  1. On the task toolbar, click Properties > Settings.
  2. Click Moderator.
  3. Select or clear your moderator preferences.

    Allow Member Submissions

    Notice: Allowing member submissions may impact the terms of use and privacy policy of your community. It is the responsibility of the hub owner to ensure their members do not post any illegal content or do not make any inappropriate submissions that could cause harm or give rise to a claim.

    Owners and moderators can approve or reject a submission. Once posted, the submission and the identity of the Community member is visible to other members as well.
