Confessions

Anonymous confessions with staff review queues, anonymous replies and moderation controls.

Confessions lets members submit numbered anonymous messages and replies while giving staff a review queue and identity-safe moderation tools.

How It Works

  1. Members run /confess or click Submit Confession on the confession panel.
  2. With Require Staff Approval off, the confession is posted to the Confessions Channel right away. With it on, the confession goes to the Staff Review Channel with Approve, Reject and Block Author buttons.
  3. If Allow Anonymous Replies is on, each published confession has an Anonymous Reply button that posts to its thread or channel.
  4. Staff can block abusive senders by confession number with /confessions block without exposing the author's identity publicly.
