Moderation & Spam Prevention
Ensuring a high-quality, safe, and decentralized social experience is critical for SocialBlock. While we prioritize privacy, anonymity, and decentralization, we also recognize the importance of effective moderation tools and anti-spam measures to maintain a healthy community ecosystem.
Unlike Web2 platforms that rely on centralized censorship, SocialBlock implements on-chain, community-driven, and AI-assisted moderation systems that allow communities to set their own rules while ensuring a trustworthy and engaging environment.
🔹 Decentralized Moderation: Community-Controlled Governance
🛡️ Moderation Without Centralized Censorship
SocialBlock does not control or censor content at a platform level. Instead, community moderators and DAO governance dictate chatroom and content rules.
👥 Community-Led Moderation
Each SocialBlock chatroom, discussion group, and community is self-governed by its creators and members. Features include: ✔ Token-Gated Moderation – Only verified or token-holding members can moderate. ✔ Vote-Based Content Filtering – Users can upvote or downvote messages to highlight quality discussions and filter out spam. ✔ Trusted Reputation System – Users with higher engagement and trust levels gain moderation privileges automatically.
🔗 DAO-Backed Governance Rules
Communities can propose and vote on moderation policies through the SocialBlock DAO.
Rules are transparent and adjustable, ensuring that moderation aligns with community preferences rather than centralized decisions.
🔹 Spam Prevention & Anti-Bot Measures
SocialBlock leverages on-chain validation, AI filters, and token-based barriers to prevent spam, bots, and malicious activity.
1️⃣ On-Chain Identity & Reputation-Based Filtering
Verified Web3 profiles reduce spam from low-reputation or bot accounts.
Reputation scores determine user credibility, making it harder for spam accounts to operate.
Soulbound Token (SBT) Verification ensures only legitimate users can engage in meaningful conversations.
2️⃣ AI-Powered Spam Detection
Machine learning algorithms detect and block spammy, low-quality, or repeated messages.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) models filter out scam attempts, phishing messages, and harmful content.
Auto-flagging system alerts community moderators when suspicious activity is detected.
3️⃣ Token-Gated Access & Staking-Based Participation
Communities can require users to hold or stake $SBT tokens to send messages.
Anti-Sybil mechanisms prevent bot farms by enforcing token-based participation rules.
Gas-based micro-fees for message spamming (optional for communities) reduce bot-driven interactions.
4️⃣ NFT & DAO-Based Moderation Roles
Communities can assign NFT-based moderator roles that grant specific permissions.
Moderators can warn, mute, or ban users through on-chain actions, ensuring fair and transparent moderation.
🔹 Enforcement & User Protection Tools
🚨 AI & Community Flagging System
Users can report messages, spam, and suspicious behavior.
AI-assisted review prioritizes urgent or high-risk cases.
DAO governance can permanently blacklist wallets engaged in harmful activity.
🚫 Preventing Scams, Phishing, & Rug Pull Promotions
Automated risk assessment of new project mentions.

The DAO ensures a fair and community-governed resolution process.
