# AI Driven FUD Control

By identifying communications that might be spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt), the AI-Driven FUD Control section uses Bubsy's AI to discover and counteract disruptive or harmful information in the community. When the AI recognises a potentially dangerous message, it starts a poll where community members can vote to show mercy to the user. This way, the community can decide together what should be done.

By allowing the community to have a voice in moderation choices and supporting proactive suppression of dangerous content, this AI-driven moderation encourages openness and participation.

### Configuring AI-Driven FUD Control

The following settings allow you to adjust the AI-Driven FUD Control system to match the needs and preferences of your community:

* **FUD Control Level**: This setting determines how strictly the AI monitors for FUD messages. Options include **Off**, **Low**, **Medium**, and **High**—with higher levels resulting in more frequent and stricter moderation.&#x20;
* **Votes Required**: Specifies the number of votes needed to finalize a decision show mercy to the flagged user. Setting an appropriate vote threshold ensures that community members collectively agree on major moderation actions.
* **Minimum Voter Rank**: Defines the minimum rank or role required for community members to participate in the voting process. This ensures that only trusted members or those with certain privileges are involved in significant moderation decisions.
* **Mercy Timer**: Sets the duration for the poll, during which members can vote to show mercy. Once the timer expires, the poll closes and the majority vote determines the action—whether to mute the user or allow them to continue participating.
