Summary

PubNub has launched a new Moderation Dashboard, an open-source, configurable application designed to enhance moderation capabilities in chat applications. This tool allows users to mask or block inappropriate content, monitor message activity, and enforce rules such as flagging, muting, or banning users. As online communities grow, particularly those involving children, real-time moderation is essential for creating safe and welcoming environments. The dashboard is customizable, enabling admins to tailor safety features to their specific needs, ranging from profanity filtering for all-age platforms to more limited moderation for offensive language. It incorporates best practices in automatic text and image moderation, leveraging partners like Tisane Labs and SightEngine, and provides comprehensive tools for admins to manage user interactions, including monitoring activities and moderating content. This pre-built solution aims to save developers time while maintaining healthy online communities, and it can be adapted to fit specific organizational needs.
