How the quiz works
You get 10 rounds, drawn from a bank of spam, scam DMs, trolls, real complaints, sarcasm and genuine questions. Each round gives you four actions: Keep, Hide, Reply or Ban. You have 6 seconds per round, then the quiz shows the best action and a one-line reason.
Your score is out of 10 and your total time is the tie-breaker. Some rounds accept a second action, because hiding and banning both handle a bot. Others only accept one, because replying to a real complaint is the difference between keeping a customer and losing one.
At the end you get a rank, from Rookie Moderator through Weekend Mod and Comment Cop to Ban Hammer and Ban Hammer Legend.
Spam comments and scam DMs to watch for on Instagram
Most Instagram spam comments follow the same few patterns. Look for follow-for-follow promises, account-selling bots, "check the bio" funnels, and the same emoji-heavy pitch repeated across posts. Those are safe to hide, and worth banning when the same handle keeps returning.
Instagram scam DMs are more dangerous. The usual shape is false urgency about your account: a copyright strike, a disabled page, a suspended business profile, plus a shortened appeal link. Real platforms do not send appeal links over DM, and a support handle that asks you to verify through an outside link is the clearest signal there is.
Fake giveaways, brand ambassador offers that ask for a fee, and crypto or investment pitches fall into the same family. Ban them and report them; hiding a scam DM leaves the account free to work through the rest of your followers.
Why keyword filters hide real customers
A keyword filter cannot read intent. It sees the word "free" and assumes a promotion, so it buries a question about free shipping. It sees "scam" and hides an angry customer warning other people about a fake seller in your comments. It sees "hate" in a compliment and removes a five-star review.
At low volume you can review the false positives by hand. At 5,000 comments a day, a filter with a 5% false positive rate buries 250 real comments before lunch, and nobody notices the customer question that never got an answer.
The quiz deliberately includes trap rounds like these. If a keyword filter keeps beating you on them, that is the point.
FAQ
- What is the comment moderation quiz?
- A free 60-second test. You moderate 10 comments and direct messages, get feedback on every call, then see a score and a rank from Rookie Moderator to Ban Hammer Legend.
- Do I need an account to play?
- No. Playing and seeing your score are free and need no account. An email is only required if you want the per-category breakdown.
- How does the quiz decide the right answer?
- Every comment has one best action and often an accepted alternative. Hiding spam twice is not the same as banning it, so the answer explains the reasoning rather than just telling you that you were wrong.
- Is this a real moderation tool?
- No. It is a training game built by Social Kirin to show how hard manual comment moderation is at scale. None of the comments are real, and no real accounts or brands appear.
- What happens after I submit my email?
- Your breakdown unlocks immediately and you receive one confirmation email with your result.
