Creator Dashboard Reply Moderation and Mentions Auto-Approve
How the creator dashboard moderation toggles affect reply visibility and mention approval, and when creators should leave those controls on or off.
Where you see this in the app
These controls appear in the Account status area of Settings -> Creator.
The two relevant toggles are:
| Toggle | What it controls |
|---|---|
Require approval for replies | Whether replies from others stay hidden until reviewed |
Auto-approve mentions | Whether mentions become approved immediately or wait for review |
Require approval for replies
This toggle controls reply moderation.
| State | End-user meaning |
|---|---|
| On | Replies from others stay hidden until you accept them or request revisions |
| Off | Replies can flow through without that approval gate |
This is the creator-side control for how strict the reply review queue should be.
Auto-approve mentions
This toggle controls mention moderation.
| State | End-user meaning |
|---|---|
| On | Mentions skip the pending queue and become approved automatically |
| Off | Mentions remain pending until you approve them |
This directly affects what will later show up in the profile mentions panel.
Off vs on behavior
The two toggles solve different moderation problems:
- reply moderation affects how others’ reply posts become visible,
- mention auto-approval affects whether profile mentions need manual review.
That means creators can be strict on replies but permissive on mentions, or the reverse.
How they relate to profile moderation
These dashboard toggles are upstream settings. The profile page is where the visible moderation consequences show up.
In practice:
- creator changes the toggle on the dashboard,
- later replies or mentions follow that policy,
- the profile and post surfaces reflect the resulting approved/pending state.
So these are policy controls, while the profile mentions panel and reply cards are the visible moderation outcomes.
