Moderation & Safety Playbook Skill

When to Use

• Launching or scaling moderated forums, chats, or live events.
• Training moderators, ambassadors, or vendors on policies.
• Handling escalations, abuse reports, or crisis communications.

Framework

1. **Policy Matrix** – code of conduct, content types, enforcement tiers, regional considerations. 2. **Workflow** – intake → triage → resolution → follow-up, with SLAs and ownership. 3. **Tooling** – moderation dashboards, keyword lists, automation rules, reporting forms. 4. **Escalation Ladder** – when to engage legal, security, PR, or executive sponsors. 5. **Post-Incident Review** – retrospectives, comms templates, improvements.

Templates

• Moderator guide with sample responses, tone guidance, and decision trees.
• Incident log + scoreboard for tracking volume, severity, MTTR.
• Crisis comms outline for public/partner updates.

Tips

• Publish a transparent policy summary so members know expectations.
• Rotate moderators to reduce burnout; provide mental health resources.
• Pair with `launch-community-activation-series` for real-time event safety coverage.
