We're excited to announce a new feature for burn organizers: automatic content moderation. Dust can now scan camps, art, and events for potentially problematic content, helping you maintain a safe and welcoming environment for your community.
Why Moderation?
As your burn grows, manually reviewing every camp description, art piece, and event submission becomes increasingly difficult. With moderation enabled, Dust automatically scans content as it's submitted or changed, flagging anything that might need your attention.
What Gets Scanned?
Moderation reviews text content across:
- Theme Camps - Names and descriptions
- Art - Names and descriptions
- Events - Titles and descriptions
Moderation Styles
You have full control over how moderation works for your burn. Choose from three options:
- No moderation - Content is not scanned. You manually review everything.
- Flag - Problematic content is flagged for your review, but remains visible in the dust app.
- Flag and Hide - Problematic content is automatically hidden until you review it.
The "Flag" option is great if you want visibility into potential issues without censoring any content. "Flag and Hide" provides more protection by keeping questionable content out of the app until you've approved it.
Automatic Publishing
If you choose the Flag and Hide then content that is not flagged will be published automatically (done every 24 hours). Any content that is flagged will be hidden from the dust app. Additionally if you unapprove a camp or art piece it will also be hidden when published.
What Does It Detect?
Dust uses AI-powered moderation designed to detect:
- Sexual content
- Hate speech
- Harassment
- Self-harm content
- Graphic violence
- Threats and hostile language
Getting Started
- Go to Settings in your burn
- Find the Moderation option
- Choose your preferred moderation style
- Click Publish
That's it! From then on, all new and updated content will be automatically scanned. Any flagged content will also trigger an email to admins.
Review Flagged Content
When content is flagged, you'll see it marked in the Camps, Art, or Events list. You can then review the content and decide whether to edit it, or remove it. After saving a change to flagged content you will get a popup notifying you if the content is still flagged or not.

We hope this feature helps you build a safer, more inclusive burn. As always, let us know what you think!
