If you Facebook moderation to assist a group, a new tool called Admin Assist will help you keep your community safe and positive. It enables you to set up criteria that automatically hides or removes posts before they are published in your group, and helps you control what kind of content is posted in your group.

For example, you can use Admin Assist to decline posts that contain links, or to hide comments with specific keywords. This is a great way to save time and energy from moderating the same kinds of content over and over again.

You can also set up a criteria that prioritizes posts based on their severity, so those that involve real-world harm (such as terrorism, child exploitation or self-harm) are dealt with first. Posts that are annoying or spam, meanwhile, are ranked lower and will be dealt with later. This is a good feature to have if you run a global community, and your moderators work in different time zones.

Other settings include the option to automatically block a user, and to hide all posts from them. You can use this tool to prevent people from posting threatening, racist or other offensive content in your group, and it works across all types of devices. It’s a great addition to the other moderation tools available for groups, and it will save you a lot of time.
