How to Handle Trolls and Moderate Your Chat
Set the tools up before you need them. AutoMod, mods, and the one rule that matters most.
The best moderation is set up before you need it. Turn on AutoMod, write your rules down, and appoint one trusted mod early — trying to configure this mid-incident never goes well.
Turn AutoMod up
Creator Dashboard → Moderation. Level 2 or 3 catches most of it for a small cozy channel. You can always loosen it later; you can't un-see what slips through.
Add followers-only mode
Requiring a short follow age before chatting stops most drive-by trolling with almost no cost to real viewers.
Don't engage
Ban, don't debate. Arguing gives them exactly what they came for and drags your regulars through it. One click, move on, keep the tone.
Write your rules in a panel
A short rules panel sets the tone before anyone types — and gives your mods something to point at. Every pack includes a rules panel in the same style as the rest.
Set the tone visually too
Matching panels — rules, about, schedule — that make your channel feel considered.
