How Moderation Works

Snakk uses a hierarchical moderation system where permissions flow downward through the organizational structure.

Moderator roles

Role Scope Can moderate
Global Admin Everything All communities, hubs, spaces, and discussions
Community Admin One community All hubs and spaces within the community
Hub Moderator One hub All spaces within the hub
Space Moderator One space Discussions within that space only

Permissions flow downward: a Community Admin can moderate anything a Hub Mod or Space Mod can, but not vice versa.

Moderation actions

Moderators can:

  • Remove posts and discussions
  • Lock discussions (prevent new replies)
  • Issue temporary or permanent bans
  • Review and act on reports
  • View moderation audit logs

All moderation actions are logged for accountability.

Transparency

Moderation actions are visible in the moderation audit log. The community's moderator team is listed publicly on the Moderators page, accessible from the sidebar.
