Automated Disqus Moderation Queue Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Disqus, reviews comments flagged as spam or reported by readers since yesterday, archives the full moderation queue to Google Drive, and posts a digest to Slack so your moderator can approve or remove each one.
How do I keep up with flagged comments waiting for moderation on Disqus?
WebRun checks Disqus every morning for comments flagged as spam or reported by readers, archives the full moderation queue to Google Drive, and posts a digest to Slack for your moderator to review. It never deletes or approves a comment itself, leaving every moderation decision to a real person.
- Flagged comments get reviewed the same day instead of piling up
- A full moderation history builds in Drive for appeals or audits
- Nothing gets removed or approved without a human decision
Built for Community moderators · publishers · blog owners · media sites
