Skunk Mod is a Slack app that enables communities to self-moderate via chat reactions aka emojis. Simply vote on a message with an emoji and let the app remove spammy/offending/inappropriate messages as soon as enough votes have been cast.

Running a community is fun but can quickly turn into a lot of work. Keeping spam messages and other unsolicited sales pitches at bay typically requires a team of moderators to be watchful 24/7 👀 We've built SkunkMod 🦨 so that community members can now moderate their peers content. Using chat reactions (emojis), everyone can indicate when posted content goes against their communities' guidelines. SkunkMod listens to all reactions and removes any content that is repeatedly flagged as unwanted.

@thehuethman Loving the name! 😎 Monitoring emojis is a smart solution. Good luck!

Very neat idea, @thehuethman! Congrats on the launch. 🚀🎉 I bet this is something a lot of people running communities on Slack will find useful. Excited to see where this is going. 👀 All the best with SkunkMod!

@thehuethman @rbluethl Thanks Ronald!

Amazing work! This is really needed! Ive been in numerous of groups and it can get alot to keep track of!

@shaqay Thanks Arjun! Now that you're in the IWW slack, give it a shot on any spammy posts you see (hopefully they're pretty rare). Any post that gets three 🦨 reactions is removed automatically and I get a message to review it.
