Let's be real: social media pages can be filled with great content and fun discussions. But, oh boy, can they also bring out the worst in people hiding behind a screen! 🀬

Remember those times when your team had to manually delete offensive comments? Like dealing with comments that read 'This service stinks worse than a skunk!'. And you know full well, some were worse than that. But not anymore! πŸ™Œ

With NapoleonCat's Auto-moderation, you can auto-remove or hide those uncool comments (ads included) and even send a friendly DM with your rules to the offender.

High five to giving your team a well-deserved breather and keeping your brand shining bright! Let's see how.


Use rule templates

To save your time, you have two ready-to-go templates to tackle offensive content on Facebook and Instagram (including ads):

  • Automatically hide offensive content on Facebook 🚫

  • Automatically hide offensive content on Instagram πŸ™…

Think of these templates as your starting point - you can customize them however you like. To auto-hide or remove offensive content on Facebook and Instagram, you need to:

  1. Pop into Auto-moderation in NapoleonCat

  2. Check out the templates on your left:

  3. Click 'Use this template' next to the one you want to use (Feel free to use all of them!):

  4. Now, let's customize the rule:

Customize your rules

  1. First, choose your social media platform (you can pick one: Facebook - including ads, Instagram, or Instagram ads)

    If you chose the "Automatically hide offensive words on Facebook" template, Facebook will be selected by default. πŸ‘‡πŸ½

  2. Then, pick the social media profiles your rule will work on. πŸ‘†πŸ½ You can choose multiple pages

  3. Now it's time to choose the type of message and condition (All) your rule will apply to.

    This article talks about comments, but you can choose anything from mentions, ad comments, organic comments to private messages, etc. - you call the shots. You can pick one message type per rule:

  4. Then, review the list of keywords and add in some more. Remember, the more offensive words you add, the better your rule:

Common swear words

Compiling a list of offensive words can be a real head-scratcher. Some folks can get quite... um, innovative. But hey, we've done the dirty work so you don't have to!

Below you'll find a long, ready-to-use list of keywords that you can simply paste into your Auto-moderation rule, like this:

And those little signs, asterisks - *? They're like your secret agents, catching those offensive words even when users try to get clever with the spelling.

Anyway, here's the list (please note: it uses explicit language):

You're nearly there with setting up your rule. Let's finish it off! πŸ‘‡πŸ½


Finish customizing your rule

Now, it's your call: what's going to happen to those comments?

The default action is 'Hide':

But you've got other options. You can:

  • Stick with 'Hide' (which keeps the comment viewable to the person who posted it, but out of sight for others) πŸ™ˆ

  • Combine 'Hide' with 'Reply as comment' to drop a hint about the rules πŸ“

  • Choose 'Delete' πŸ—‘οΈ

  • Or pair 'Delete' with 'Reply in a private message' to remind the user about the rules ☝🏽

Switching actions is easy - hit the trash icon to remove, or the plus icon to add. Your social media, your rules!
