The PubNub Chat Moderation Dashboard is an open-source project designed to help developers moderate chat messages and enforce community guidelines in real time. By providing tools for profanity filtering, user banning, and channel moderation, the dashboard simplifies the complex task of building moderation tools, allowing administrators to view live streams of messages, manually moderate content, and manage user permissions. It integrates automatic moderation features using services like Tisane.ai for text and SightEngine for images, while also offering manual moderation capabilities for administrators. The dashboard can be deployed locally, requiring a PubNub account and a compatible chat application, with Node.js and Git being necessary for setup. It serves as a starting point for developers, providing best practice functionalities for common moderation tasks, and is designed to work with specific application configurations and design patterns as outlined in its documentation.
