Fluent in the Community Software, Flag Queues & Anti-Spam Tools You Run
Don't spend 30+ hours explaining Discourse trust levels, XenForo permissions, thread merging, shadowbanning, or automated spam-filter heuristics to a generic assistant. SageDoer VAs understand online forum governance and community moderation.
What Your Forum Virtual Assistant Executes Daily
Free up 20 to 30 hours every single week from patrolling toxic threads and scrubbing spam links so you can focus on partnerships, platform monetization, community strategy, and member growth.
24/7 Flag Queue, Spam Purges & Bot Defense
Eliminate malicious spam before members see it. We process user-reported flags in Discourse, XenForo, or IPS, purge automated bot registrations, block masked referral links, and report persistent offenders to StopForumSpam.
- Reviewing flagged posts, hidden insults, and low-quality promotional spam
- Updating automated keyword blacklists, regex filters, and AutoMod triggers
- IP/CIDR range blocking and automated temporary shadowbans for repeat spammers
Code of Conduct & Flame War De-Escalation
Maintain a welcoming, professional culture. We intervene early in heated debates, issue private diplomatic warning messages, lock derailments temporarily to cool tempers, and apply progressive strike policies.
- Neutral, professional mediation when discussions turn personal or hostile
- Enforcing your community guidelines, terms of service, and posting etiquette
- Managing temporary suspension cooldowns and member appeals with clear audit logs
Thread Taxonomy, Merging & Category Hygiene
Keep your knowledge base clean and easy to navigate. We move miscategorized topics, merge duplicate duplicate threads, clean up vague titles, split off-topic tangents into fresh threads, and apply proper tags.
- Merging duplicate product questions or breaking news discussions into master threads
- Renaming unhelpful titles (e.g. "HELP PLEASE") to descriptive, SEO-rich keywords
- Curating pinned FAQ megathreads, resource indexes, and wiki documentation
Member Onboarding & Zero-Reply Thread Rescue
Stop new member churn before it starts. We greet introductory posts, tag resident experts into unanswered technical questions, and ensure no legitimate discussion starter languishes with zero replies.
- Welcoming first-time posters and guiding them to onboarding guides
- Monitoring zero-reply queues to seed constructive follow-up prompts
- Tagging verified subject-matter experts to answer high-value user queries
Trust Level Audits, Badges & Superuser Retention
Nurture your top 5% of passionate contributors. We audit Discourse Trust Levels (TL1 to TL4), manage XenForo user rank promotions, award custom milestone badges, and coordinate private beta/VIP lounges.
- Reviewing criteria for automated and manual member tier promotions
- Designing and distributing custom achievement badges for recognized MVPs
- Facilitating superuser feedback circles and monthly volunteer moderator catchups
Newsletter Digests, AMAs & Engagement Analytics
Drive re-engagement back to your community. We compile weekly or monthly thread digests, organize and moderate live AMA (Ask Me Anything) guest sessions, and track DAU/MAU retention metrics.
- Curating top discussions into email newsletters sent via Mailchimp, Kit, or Ghost
- Pre-screening questions and running live queue control during guest AMAs
- Generating weekly reports on post volume, active users, and response times
