Overview
The Profanity Filter is a preventative measure that blocks participants from submitting profane language. Flagging and muting a participant will remove their responses from the conversation.
Included in this Article
Profanity FilterEnables you to prevent users from submitting responses that contain profane language. The filter will be automatically set to default when you create a new Conversation. To enable or disable the profanity filter, simply go to the Audience section within a Conversation.
Users who attempt to submit profane language in a response will be prompted with the error message "please remove profanity." Once they remove the profanity, the user will be able to submit their response.
Managing Participants
If you are ever moderating a Remesh Conversation and you notice that a participant is being inappropriate, we recommend taking the following steps:
- Send a Speak to the group asking the Participants to be respectful
- Remind the Participants that everyone (including the Moderator) is a human, not a bot, and that there is no place for inappropriate behavior
- You can mute participants using the instructions below.
Flagging & Muting Participants
As a Moderator or Collaborator, you can flag and mute participants during a Conversation. You can mute a participant from an Ask Opinion question in the Highlights, Common Topics, and in the analyze side panel.
When you select to flag a response, you will be prompted to confirm your choice. Once the participant is flagged, they will still be able to participate in the Conversation and will not be notified. However, their responses will not be shown in the Conversation, to other participants or in the post session analysis space.
Once a participant is flagged and muted, it cannot be undone.
