Guides for community and confession page admins

Running a page that publishes other people's words is a small publishing job with real responsibilities attached. These 24 guides cover the parts nobody hands you when you become an admin: how to write rules people follow, what to do when a submission names someone, where Malaysian law draws its lines, how to answer a takedown request, and how to turn a queue of anonymous text into posts worth reading.

They are written by the team that builds and runs VibeFlow, from what we see operating a submission and moderation platform — but none of them needs our software. The advice applies to any anonymous page, whatever tool sits behind its form.

Also in: Bahasa Melayu · 简体中文 · 繁體中文

Running a page

Setting up an anonymous submission page, writing its rules, and keeping it alive when the people behind it change.

Moderation

Deciding what gets published: what software can screen, what only a person can judge, and how a small team shares the work.

How these guides are written

Each guide is drafted and reviewed by the VibeFlow team in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and dated so you can see how current it is. Guides that describe the law name the Act and section and link to the official text or the regulator, because a summary is not a substitute for the source. They are general information, not legal advice. Corrections are welcome at support@sxagg.com; when we fix something material, the guide's "Updated" date changes.
