# Moderating open organizations
help: Add streams and topics and moderation to Guides.

Moderation is a big part of making an open community work.

## Prevention
realm: Add private_message_policy setting. This experimental setting disables sending private messages in Zulip in a crude way (i.e. users get an error when they try to send one). It makes no effort to adjust the UI to avoid advertising the idea of sending private messages. Fixes #6617.

Zulip has many features designed to simplify moderation:

[add custom emoji](/help/only-allow-admins-to-add-emoji).
* Link to a code of conduct in your
[organization description](/help/create-your-organization-profile)
(displayed on the registration page).
settings: Migrate to stream_post_policy structure. This commit includes a new `stream_post_policy` setting, by replacing the `is_announcement_only` field from the Stream model, which is done by mirroring the structure of the existing `create_stream_policy`. It includes the necessary schema and database migrations to migrate the is_announcement_only boolean field to stream_post_policy, a smallPositiveInteger field similar to many other settings. This change is done to allow organization administrators to restrict new members from creating and posting to a stream. However, this does not affect admins who are new members. With many tweaks by tabbott to documentation under /help, etc. Fixes #13616.
2020-02-04 21:50:55 +01:00
* Create a [default stream](/help/set-default-streams-for-new-users)
for announcements where [only admins can
post](/help/stream-sending-policy).
help: Update docs for new member settings. Fixes various mistakes and also rewrites some stuff.
2019-06-10 02:47:21 +02:00
* Add a [waiting period](/help/restrict-permissions-of-new-members) before
new users can take disruptive actions.
email visibility: Enable feature and add user documentation.
2019-05-21 06:37:40 +02:00
* [Restrict email visibility](/help/restrict-visibility-of-email-addresses)
to reduce the likelihood of off-platform spam.

## Response
* [Ban (deactivate) users](/help/deactivate-or-reactivate-a-user) acting in
bad faith. You can reactivate them later if they repent.
docs: Extend moderation guidelines with search advice. The search query for all messages sent by a given user in all public streams is pretty useful for moderation of spam purposes.
2019-10-10 23:43:29 +02:00
* Use the `streams:public sender:user@example.com`
[search operators](/help/search-for-messages) to find all messages sent by a user.
user docs: Add moderating open organizations.
2018-09-14 20:10:23 +02:00
* Delete messages, [delete streams](/help/delete-a-stream), and
[unsubscribe users from streams](/help/add-or-remove-users-from-a-stream).

want to see.

## In the works
* **Delete spammer**. This will wipe the user from your Zulip, by deleting
all their messages and reactions, banning them, etc.
* **Mute user**. This will allow an individual user to hide the messages of
another individual user.
* **New users join as guests**. This will allow users joining via open
registration to have extremely limited permissions by default, but still
enough permissions to ask the core team a question or to get a feel for your
community.
* **Public archive**. This will give a read-only view of selected streams,
removing the need in some organizations for having open registration.
