Clicker handles comment moderation so you don’t have to. When you integrate Clicker’s trade comment network, our moderation infrastructure works behind the scenes to keep spam, scams, and low-quality content out of your app. This document explains how.

​
Spam Is Structurally Expensive on Clicker

Unlike traditional social media systems, Clicker’s architecture makes spam economically impractical by design. Minimum trade requirement. Every comment on Clicker is attached to a real trade of $10 or more. There is no way to post a comment without putting real capital at risk. This means every spam attempt costs the attacker real money, making large-scale spam campaigns prohibitively expensive. Reputation is tied to PnL. The traders who gain large followings on Clicker are the ones with strong profit-and-loss track records. You can’t fake your way to influence - it requires sustained, verifiable trading performance. Spam and scam accounts simply don’t reach a meaningful audience because the network’s discovery and ranking mechanisms are rooted in real trading results, not follower counts or engagement tricks. The economics don’t work for attackers. A trader skilled enough to build a high-PnL account and gain a following has far more to gain from legitimate trading than from running scams. The incentive structure naturally selects for quality.

​
Surface Area Depends on What You Display

The degree of spam exposure in your app depends on which Clicker surfaces you choose to integrate. Each has a different risk profile:
  • Leaderboards and comments from ranked traders. These are the lowest-risk surfaces. Content here is tightly bound to verified trading activity and high-performing accounts. Clicker’s leaderboards rank traders by 30-day PnL, and it is extremely difficult for a spammer to build an account with even $10,000 in 30-day PnL. As a result, spammers and scammers have virtually no path to gaining reach or visibility inside the Clicker network through these surfaces. The accounts that earn followers and show up in notifications are real traders with proven track records.
  • Comments on a token screen. When displaying a timeline of all comments on a given token, there is a wider surface area. These feeds could be manipulated by bad actors willing to spend money on low-value trades in order to post spam comments.
Our moderation team actively monitors for these patterns, and comments flagged as low-quality or manipulative are suppressed from timelines.

​
Active Moderation Team

Beyond structural defenses, Clicker maintains a dedicated moderation team of four reviewers who continuously monitor all comments entering the system. Their responsibilities include:
  • Reviewing incoming comments in real time for spam and scam content
  • Blocking and removing violating comments and repeat offenders
  • Reviewing user reports submitted through our reporting endpoints
To date, spam and scam volume on Clicker has been very low - a direct result of the economic barriers described above. However, we expect these attempts to increase as the network grows, and we have proactively built the team and tooling to stay ahead of it.

​
Reporting Endpoints

Clicker provides reporting API endpoints that your users can use to flag comments or traders as spam or scam. All reports are actively reviewed by our moderation team.

​
Link Safety Controls

Comments on Clicker can contain links, but your front-end has full control over how (or whether) those links are displayed. Here are some options for handling links:
  • Filter link types. You can choose to only render links to trusted domains (e.g., Twitter/X links) while hiding all others. The comment text itself still displays normally - only the link is suppressed.
  • Hide all links. If you prefer a zero-risk approach, you can strip all links from rendered comments while still showing the full comment text.
  • Show links with a warning. Display an interstitial warning when a user taps a link, informing them they are leaving your app and that you are not responsible for the safety or security of external content. This lets users access links while making the risk explicit.
These options can be combined or adjusted at any time based on your moderation preferences.

​
Summary

Clicker’s moderation approach works on three levels:
  1. Structural. The $10+ trade requirement and PnL-based reputation system make spam economically irrational.
  2. Human. A dedicated team of four moderators reviews all comments and user reports in real time.
  3. Configurable. Link safety controls give your front-end full authority over which links are displayed, hidden, or gated behind warnings.
When you integrate Clicker, you get all of this out of the box. Your team doesn’t need to build or manage any comment moderation infrastructure.
