AI agent for community moderators
Member Dispute Mediation Agent
Calm disputes early and fairly with a full picture
What it does
Disputes between members can spiral and drag a whole thread down if nobody steps in early. When a thread shows a dispute, such as heated replies or reports from both sides, this agent builds a timeline of the exchange and any earlier history between the two members. It identifies which guideline lines were crossed and by whom. It drafts a calm private message to each member and an optional public note for the thread. Once a moderator approves and sends the messages, the agent watches the thread. If the dispute continues, it suggests the next step, such as a thread lock or a temporary mute, and drafts the new message. Moderators approve every message and action. Edge case: if one member is clearly harassing the other, it is handled as harassment, not a two-sided dispute.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
