FAQs
How does Spikerz's AI comment moderation work?
Spikerz uses a proprietary AI engine trained on millions of real social media interactions to detect and remove spam, scams, hate speech, phishing attempts, and brand-damaging comments in real time. It goes beyond keyword matching, recognising context, tone, intent, slang, and even coded abuse to catch threats that static filters miss. Every comment is screened the moment it's posted, before your audience sees it.
What makes Spikerz a strong alternative to BrandBastion for comment moderation?
Both tools use AI to moderate comments, but Spikerz combines real-time moderation with full social media security in one platform. Alongside comment filtering, Spikerz also protects against account takeovers, impersonators, and phishing attacks, threats that a moderation-only tool can't address. You also get transparent, scalable pricing and direct control over how the AI is trained, without needing to go through a managed service to make changes.
Which platforms does Spikerz moderate comments on?
Spikerz covers Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn, giving you unified protection across all the platforms your brand is active on from a single dashboard.
Can Spikerz detect phishing and scams in comment sections?
Yes. Spikerz actively identifies and removes phishing links, scam drops, and social engineering attempts from comment sections and DMs automatically, before your followers have a chance to interact with them.
Does Spikerz moderate direct messages as well as comments?
Yes. Spikerz scans direct messages for phishing links, scam content, and harmful material, protecting your team from threats that arrive in the inbox, not just the public comment section.
Can I customise how Spikerz moderates my brand's comments?
Yes. You can train Spikerz's AI on your brand's own moderation history, whitelist trusted followers, and tune sensitivity by threat type, so the system learns your community and gets smarter over time. You can also set rules for auto-hiding, deleting, or flagging content for team review, depending on how hands-on you want to be.
Does Spikerz automatically block users who post harmful content?
Yes. Spikerz identifies repeat offenders and risky users and blocks them from engaging with your accounts, stopping the problem at the source rather than just cleaning up comment by comment.
Can Spikerz handle high comment volumes on busy or viral posts?
Yes. Spikerz is built to process and act on comments the moment they're posted, even on high-traffic posts and large-scale paid campaigns, so your feeds stay clean regardless of volume.
Does Spikerz do more than comment moderation?
Yes. Spikerz is a full social media security platform. Alongside AI comment moderation, it protects your accounts from takeovers, detects and removes impersonators, scans for phishing, and manages team permissions and access. If your comment section is being hit by scammers or fake accounts, Spikerz addresses the root cause as well as the symptoms.
