What Is a Comment Moderation Queue and How Does Feedr's Work?
A comment moderation queue is a holding area where audience comments wait for host approval before appearing live in a session. Feedr by MRVL includes a moderation queue on Creator and Pro plans, letting speakers, lecturers, and event hosts filter messages in real time without interrupting the flow of their event.
Definition of a Comment Moderation Queue
A comment moderation queue is a feature that lets a host review audience messages before they go live. Instead of comments posting instantly, they sit in a queue until the host taps to approve them, edit them, or delete them. This prevents spam, off-topic remarks, or inappropriate language from reaching other attendees. In Feedr, when you enable moderation mode on Creator or Pro tier, every audience comment lands in your moderation queue first. You see it on your host dashboard, and you decide whether to let it through to the live comment stream in seconds.
Why Use Comment Moderation in Live Events
For conferences, church services, lectures, and podcasts, an unmoderated comment stream can quickly become chaotic. Spam bots, trolls, or accidental off-topic messages can distract your audience and damage the session's quality. A moderation queue gives you control without silencing your audience. You stay connected to real feedback, questions, and reactions while filtering out noise. This is especially valuable if you're running a large session with hundreds of attendees, where one or two bad comments can set a negative tone fast. Feedr's queue keeps approval decisions in your hands, on your device, live.
How Feedr's Moderation Queue Works
In Feedr, the moderation queue is built into the Creator and Pro tiers. When your audience posts a comment via the QR code link, it appears in your moderation queue on the host app (iOS or Android). You review it instantly. If it's good, you tap 'approve' and it goes live to everyone. If it's off-topic or inappropriate, you delete it. You can also pin approved comments to highlight them at the top of the stream. The queue updates in real time, so as your session grows and comments flood in, you stay in control. No comment reaches your audience without your say-so. This is separate from other moderation tools like guest moderators, whom you can invite via a link to help manage the queue during larger events.
When You Need Moderation vs. Open Comments
Feedr's free tier lets you run unmoderated sessions with up to 100 attendees. Comments post instantly, which suits informal settings like team meetings or casual Q&A sessions. But if you're speaking at a conference, running a church service, or recording a podcast where your message matters and your audience expects professionalism, a moderation queue becomes essential. Creator and Pro plans unlock this feature. As of June 2026, moderation is the single most requested upgrade from free-tier hosts running sessions with more than 50 people. If you're unsure whether you need it, try a free session first. If comments feel chaotic or you find yourself wishing you could delete spam, upgrade to Creator and enable the queue.
Moderation Queue vs. Other Feedr Tools
Feedr offers several ways to shape how your audience interacts. The moderation queue puts every comment in your hands before it goes live. Pinning lets you lift the best comments to the top after they're approved. Emoji reactions let your audience respond with feelings rather than words, which often drives engagement without adding clutter. Guest moderators (Creator+) let you invite a co-host to help review comments if you're juggling speaking and moderation at once. Together, these features give you fine control over your live event's tone and pace without needing a separate moderation team or complex approval workflows.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a comment moderation queue for small events?
No. Feedr's free tier allows unmoderated comments for sessions up to 100 attendees. If your event feels spammy or chaotic, upgrade to Creator (£6.99/month) to unlock the queue.
Can I edit a comment in the moderation queue?
Feedr's moderation queue lets you approve or delete comments, but not edit them. If a comment needs changes, you can delete it and ask the attendee to repost a corrected version.
What happens to comments I don't approve?
Unapproved comments are deleted and never appear on the live stream. Your audience doesn't see them or get a notification. They simply vanish from the queue.
Can multiple people moderate at the same time?
Yes. Invite a guest moderator via a link on Creator or Pro. They can review and approve comments alongside you in real time.
Is there a limit to how long moderation can delay a comment?
No hard limit. Comments wait in the queue until you approve them. Most hosts approve or reject within seconds, keeping the live experience flowing.
Which Feedr plan includes the moderation queue?
Creator (£6.99/month or £49.99/year) and Pro (£14.99/month or £119.99/year). Free tier does not include moderation tools.
