Feature Announcement: Moderation Rule Builder

Rule Builder is an innovative feature within Stream's AI Moderation platform designed to simplify the process of moderating user-generated content without the need for coding. It allows users to define complex moderation rules using a combination of conditions such as toxic text, repeated offenses, and new account age, utilizing AND/OR logic to capture complex behavior patterns. The tool can automatically trigger actions like flagging, banning, or shadow banning based on defined thresholds across multiple signal types, including text, images, videos, and account metadata. Rule Builder addresses the challenges of traditional moderation systems by enabling non-technical teams to create and refine moderation logic directly within a user-friendly dashboard, allowing for rapid deployment and iteration as new abuse patterns emerge. This flexibility reduces the need for constant engineering involvement, minimizes manual review volume, and ensures high-scale enforcement without performance bottlenecks. Available at no additional cost, Rule Builder supports a wide range of use cases, from detecting harassment and preventing spam to enforcing zero-tolerance policies and detecting coordinated abuse, making it an essential tool for maintaining a safe and compliant platform.
