What it is

Comment moderation, defined

Comment moderation is deciding what happens to every comment under your ads and posts: hide it, delete it, answer it, or leave it, before customers read the bad ones. Facebook and Instagram give you filters and a few automations. A moderation tool gives you one inbox, rules that run on every new comment, AI that understands meaning, and a record. Read: bot comments, the seven shapes and who sends them.

What we found

Even Meta's systems are wrong about one action in eleven

Meta now publishes its own precision: how often an enforcement action was a mistake. At that scale a few percent is millions of decisions. It is the reason every action on this page has a record and an undo, and the reason the fourth outcome, leave it, exists at all.

Every comment gets one of four outcomes

Six comments arrive under a post. Each one is read and routed: two hidden, two deleted, one answered, one left alone. The counters are the record.

Inside

One inbox, rules on every comment, cleanup for the rest

Inbox: every comment from every page and ad, tagged by what it is. Rules: profanity, negativity, links, keywords, emails and phones, custom topics, hide or delete. Post cleanup: any post or ad link, in bulk. Insights: what was removed, by page and by rule. Team roles per page. Real questions get answered in the commenter's language while you sleep.

The CommentWatchDog inbox: every comment from every page and ad, tagged, with hidden and deleted chips naming their rule.
