Moderation isn’t “punishment”. In a learning chat, it exists to prevent knowledge from drowning in noise and to protect mentors from burnout. Here are rules that usually deliver the biggest impact with minimal friction.

1) Five rules worth pinning

  • One topic = one thread. Don’t mix questions.
  • Use a question template. Context → what you tried → what you need.
  • Sources are encouraged. Links reduce confusion.
  • Promotion/off-topic goes elsewhere.
  • Respect and clarity. No toxicity.

2) Reward behaviors (more important than bans)

  • structured answers (steps, example, link)
  • short recaps after long discussions
  • helping newcomers by linking to past solutions

3) Handle “eternal repeats” the right way

Instead of “read the pin”:

  • link to the best past answer
  • add it to the FAQ
  • add semantic search

Related: reduce repetitive questions.

4) AskMore as a knowledge moderation tool

AskMore doesn’t replace moderators, but it protects quality:

  • finds past answers with quotes + links
  • speeds up repeated Q&A
  • summarizes long discussions
