How is Pool moderated?

last updated: 19.09.08

Pool will be post moderated for a trial period of three months. When you post a comment or upload material to Pool, it will immediately appear on the site. Pool moderators will then read, watch or listen to every piece of content contributed to the site.

A first, a flag

This mode of moderation is a first for the ABC - previously post moderation has only been extended to comments. Please help us make it work. While we moderate all the content on Pool, we'll also be looking to you. If you come across some content you think breaches our community guidelines, please use the 'flag as offensive' button to let us know. Alternatively, you could gently let them know how they're breaking the rules.

Where did my vowels go?

There are a few words that we just can't publish on the ABC. We're trialling a method called disemvoweling, where we remove all the vowels from the offending word. We like it because it's an alternative to removing a contribution, and we hope it discourages further use of said words.
