Whether strict controls or lax, your guidelines are our guidelines. You don\u2019t need to invest in moderators on your end (unless you want to), keeping your company lean enough to face whatever challenges come your way. Even better, in COOL Comments, our moderation can handle not just text but also visual content, ensuring that photos and memes will also be in compliance with your guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting our human moderators is state-of-the-art AI moderation technology, quickly flagging comments for moderator review so that toxic comments don\u2019t languish on your page. If commenters violate your guidelines, they can be put in the penalty box for a 24-hour \u201ctime out,\u201d or incur longer penalties.
