Tips for Running a Well-Configured Room
How often should I review room settings?
How often should I review room settings?
Do a settings audit when your room reaches a new size milestone (50 members, 100 members, 500 members, etc.). What worked for a small group might need adjustment as you scale.
Should I enable Tavbot moderation?
Should I enable Tavbot moderation?
For small, tight-knit rooms with trusted members, it’s probably overkill. For public or larger rooms where you can’t watch every message yourself, it’s a lifesaver. Start with the basic settings and tune them over time.
Should I make my room public right away?
Should I make my room public right away?
Not necessarily. Build a community first with invited members. Once you have good conversation happening regularly and some moderation in place, then open it up. A busy room is more appealing to newcomers than an empty public one.
