Spam Filters & Content Quality
How Radius moderates groups, events, and activities before they appear publicly.
Radius uses automated spam filters to keep the activity feed, group directory, and event listings useful for real communities. We flag poor-quality content, test posts, and obvious spam for review before it appears publicly.
How moderation works
When you create a group, event, or activity, our filters scan the title, summary, description, and other text fields. If something looks like spam, gibberish, or test content, it is held for review instead of going live immediately.
| Status | What you see |
|---|---|
| Pending review | Only you (and group organisers, for groups and events) can see the content. A banner explains that it is waiting for review. |
| Approved | The content appears in search, the feed, and public listings as normal. |
| Rejected | The content stays hidden from the public. You can edit it and save again to send it back for review. |
Test content will not be approved
If you create a group, event, or activity purely to try out Radius features, it will not be approved for public visibility. That includes names or descriptions like "Test group", repeated placeholder text, or gibberish strings such asasajhsajhajhsj.
Important: Please do not use the public platform as a sandbox. Create real content with a genuine name, summary, and description, or keep experiments private until you are ready to launch.
Spam and low-quality content
Content that looks like spam is also held for review and will not be approved. This includes promotional recruitment posts, explicit material, suspicious links, and text that is mostly nonsense or copy-pasted filler.
How to get your content approved
If your group, event, or activity is waiting for review, edit it and follow these guidelines before saving again:
- ✓Use a real name and summary that describe what the community or event is actually about.
- ✓Remove words like
test,testing, and gibberish such asasajhsajhajhsjfrom titles, summaries, and descriptions. - ✓Write a proper description with full sentences. Avoid repeating the same phrase over and over.
- ✓Do not include explicit words, spam links to unrelated external websites, or promotional filler meant to game search.
- ✓Use an accurate location and category so people can understand who the community is for.
After you update the content, it goes back into the review queue automatically. Most legitimate communities are approved quickly.
