Does Padlet have a moderator setting?

The content of Padlets is not monitored or governed. Each Padlet account holder is responsible for content in Padlets they create or posts they add to other Padlets.

You can change moderator settings to enable manual or automatic approval for posts to your Padlets. You can also add a profanity filter as part of moderator settings.

  1. Open the Padlet and select the Open Padlet settings button (or cog icon) at the top of the page.
  2. Under the Content tab select the dropdown menu to the right of Moderation and select on one of the moderation options to apply it to your Padlet. The default option is set to Auto.
  3. If you would like to add a profanity filter, leave the setting as Auto. This will make it so that posts that contain profanity will be highlighted as such and can be rejected.
