How to moderate the UGC mentions
The moderation option is a needed feature for brands to make sure that some of the posts that users share on their social media feed, need to be checked first before showing them on a website.
We do not encourage censorship in any way, but sometimes this moderation option is to filter content that is possibly harming the overall community standards on social media and also your brand’s policies.
If you want to use EmbedFeed and moderate the mentions feeds, here is how you can do that:
- Open your feed and click the ‘Moderation’ Tab
- Click ‘Unselect All’
- Check the box in the top right corner of the posts you want to publish
- In the Settings panel, set the ‘Auto add new media’ option to NO
