Juicer's moderation tools let you control which posts appear in your live feed. You can auto-approve everything, hold every new post for manual review, or use AI to filter posts automatically. This article walks through each option and where to find it in your dashboard.
š Available on: all paid plans include the full moderation feature set. AI-powered moderation is available on Pro plans and aboveāsee How to use AI moderation in your Juicer feed for setup and tips. Free-plan users can try moderation features for a limited time after signing up at juicer.io/sign-up.
To open the moderation tools, click the "Moderation" pill in the toolbar at the bottom of your feed view.
The moderation queue
When you open a feed, the moderation queue shows three tabs at the top:
Publicāposts currently live in your feed.
Moderation queueāposts waiting for your approval before they go live (when you're using manual or AI moderation).
Trashāposts you (or AI moderation) have rejected. You can still restore any post from here.
Each post card shows why it was filtered (word filter, profanity blocker, AI moderation, or manually deleted) so you can audit decisions at a glance.
Three moderation modes
Click the Moderation Settings icon in the moderation toolbar to choose how new posts are handled. There are three modes:
Auto-approve all posts
Every new post goes straight to your live feed. This is the default and the right choice if you trust your sources and don't need to review every post individually. You can still use word filters and the profanity blocker (see word and content filters below) to catch specific cases automatically.
ā ļø Note: Even when auto-approve is on for the feed, we recommend sending hashtag and @mention sources through moderation individuallyāanyone can post with your hashtag or tag your account, so those sources are the most likely to bring unwanted content onto your live feed. Use the per-source Send all posts to moderation queue toggle (see Source-specific moderation below) to review only those sources while your trusted ones keep auto-approving.
Manual approval for all posts
Every new post lands in the Moderation queue tab and waits for you to approve or reject it before it appears in your live feed.
Browse the Moderation queue tab and click Approve or Reject on each post.
Use the bulk-action bar to Approve All or Reject All at once.
Rejected posts move to Trashāyou can still restore them later if you change your mind.
AI-powered moderation
AI moderation reviews each new post against criteria you setāharmful content, custom rules in plain English, or sentimentāand rejects posts that don't match automatically. It's available on Pro plans and above.
For setup steps, sub-filter details, custom-rule examples, and troubleshooting, see How to use AI moderation in your Juicer feed.
Word and content filters
In addition to the moderation modes, the Filtering panel offers a set of automatic filters that run in any mode. Open it from the funnel icon in the moderation toolbarāfilters are applied to every post before it reaches your live feed (or the queue).
Disallow and Allow word lists
Disallow posts with these wordsāblock posts containing specific words, @usernames, or #hashtags. Separate entries with commas.
Only allow posts with these wordsāthe inverse: only display posts that contain at least one of the words on the list.
š Pro tip: Filters are case-insensitive, so don't worry about capitalization.
Profanity blocker and duplicate prevention
Prevent duplicate postsāblocks identical posts that appear from more than one source. When enabled, you can choose whether the surviving copy comes from your top source or rotates across sources to keep the feed varied. Duplicates are removed approximately once per hour.
Prevent posts with profanityāblocks posts that match Juicer's library of inappropriate words.
Source-specific moderation
Sometimes you only want manual review for one or two sources, not the whole feed.
Per-source filters are configured from the source list in the regular feed viewāif the moderation toolbar is open, click Back to Design first.
To moderate posts from a single source:
Find the source in the Social Media Sources panel.
Expand the source and click Set Moderation Filters.
Configure the filters you want for this source:
Use "Disallow posts with these words" to block specific words, @usernames, or #hashtags from this source only.
Use "Only allow posts with these words" to display only posts that contain certain words from this source.
Toggle "Send all posts to moderation queue" to route this source's posts through manual approval.
Click Apply filters.
ā ļø When you click Apply filters, Juicer asks whether to apply the change to all existing posts or only to future onesāthe same prompt as the global Filtering panel. Duplicate checks only cover the 1,000 most recent posts. See applying filters to existing posts below for details.
Applying filters to existing posts
When you save a filter changeāwhether in the global Filtering panel or the per-source Set Moderation Filters panelāJuicer asks whether you want to apply it to:
Existing posts already in your feed, or
Only future posts going forward.
Applying to existing posts can take a few moments on feeds with many posts. If you have manual moderation turned on, applying to existing posts will move all currently public posts back to the queue for review. Note that duplicate checks only cover the 1,000 most recent posts.
Combining global and per-source filters
Most setups need both: a global baseline that applies to every post in the feed, plus stricter rules for specific sources where the risk is higher (typically hashtags and @mentions).
Recommended order
Configure global filters first, then per-source. Global is your baseline; per-source adds restrictions only where they differ.
How they layer
Both layers apply. A post from a per-source-moderated source still passes through the global profanity, duplicate, and word filters firstāonly after that does the per-source rule decide whether the post lands in your live feed or the moderation queue.
Example
A feed with 5 sourcesā3 brand-owned accounts (Instagram username, Facebook page, X username) plus 1 hashtag and 1 @mention:
Global (Filtering panel): profanity blocker on, prevent duplicates on, disallow
spam, giveaway.Per-source (only on the hashtag and @mention sources): toggle Send all posts to moderation queue.
Result: brand-owned sources auto-approve once they clear the global filters. The hashtag and @mention sources get the same global filtering plus manual review of every surviving post.
Tip: streamline your moderation
When you turn on manual moderation for everything, the queue can fill up quickly. To make review faster:
Set up your word filters and profanity blocker first, so obvious unwanted content is rejected automatically.
Then enable manual moderation for the remaining posts.
If you have a Pro plan or above, AI moderation can do most of this work for youāreach for it before falling back to a fully manual queue.
