We love using Slido for online learning with school children however the wordcloud feature has been problematic as we can’t find a moderation option before an answer appears on the screen.
Do others have the same issue. What is the solution you have found when dealing with young people who will post “inappropriate replies” they may not be profanities some are more silly?
We can use Q/A which does have moderation but a lot of work for single word answers and I can’t see a place to ask the question you want the reply to.
Once one silly answer appears on the screen it diminishes the quality of slido.
FYI we put in a feature request over a year ago for this and it has not been actioned - the new interface is nice but does not fix this problem.
Thank you for your suggestions and feedback, as we will be sure to pass this along to the team.
The Q&A is the only feature which has moderation available.
The Word Cloud and Open Text polls have profanity filter enabled by default which filters out bad and inappropriate words. However, there is not a way to filter or moderate these poll types at this time.
We currently do not have any additional settings for filtering. One option I would recommend using is also deleting submissions that are inappropriate like this.
Hello, so far the product seems promising. I teach a large lecture first-year college class of over 150 students and so I’m considering buying the higher level of access to cover them, but so far the only viable tools are the word clouds and multiple choice questions.
I’d really like to see the profanity filter added to the “Open Text” polls. My testing finds it is definitely NOT active by default, and I don’t see an option to turn it on (I can see it for word clouds). This is as viewed on Mac and in Powerpoint, with test submissions from my cell phone as a mock student. The only real choice I see is to have respondent names appear next to what they submit, but I don’t think that will sufficiently deter college-level teenagers from going for the lols.
Screenshot attached so you can see what I see in the options (absence of a profanity filter choice):
Thank you so much for sharing your use case about your students. I’m afraid we don’t have a profanity filter for our Open text poll. I can see how helpful it can be in your situation and will share it as a feature request with our product team for future developments.
As a workaround, you can hide the results for Open text poll and then delete any inappropriate responses, please see the attached image below. As an extra helpful tip to simply avoid your students from responding this way, we recommend “Always require name” being enabled. I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have anymore questions!
My best, Mikaella from slido

Best,
Hi jumping on this after googling looking for the solution for a similar problem.
Is there a way additional filtering can be put on when you create the cloud so certain words cannot be added ?
Or is the only way you can moderate is to set it up so they have to add their name, so then when you see the ‘silly comments’ you know who made them ?
Working with teenagers whilst trying to measure impact - the struggle is real !!!!
We currently do not have any additional settings for filtering. One option I would recommend using is also deleting submissions that are inappropriate like this.
Hope this helps a little!
Not quite the same, but thanks for the steer.
Perhaps something that can be explored in the future.
A list of words or phrases you can type in that would not show on screen.
Thanks
