Handle spam without repeating its contents aloud

Handle spam without repeating its contents aloud: a practical process, a clearly illustrated example and checks to use before the next live session.

A practical process

  1. Prevent suspected spam from entering spoken playback until reviewed.
  2. Use the platform's available moderation controls according to the team's written rules.
  3. Keep a brief category record instead of copying harmful or irrelevant text into host cues.

Worked example

If a comment repeats an unrelated link, the moderator can mark it as link spam and remove it through the available controls. The host does not need to read the link aloud to explain the action, which would only amplify the interruption.

Before the next session

Use the current Aseacast product overview to check which parts of this workflow fit your setup.
