Six community and moderation engagements, and what each was actually asked to fix. Community work is the least visible service an agency sells and the easiest to fake, so these entries state the mechanics rather than the outcomes alone.
Inery.io: Discord moderation from zero
The brief was to launch Discord moderation and community management from scratch. Two managers covered 24 hours with no gaps, an anti-spam bot was added before the server opened to volume, and the moderation standard was set as respectful and informative rather than promotional.
Round-the-clock cover is the part clients underestimate. A Discord server left unattended overnight collects scam DMs in the exact window when nobody is watching, and the damage is done by morning.
Swinca: a Telegram chat set up properly
Telegram moderation and community management from scratch, starting with the parts most projects skip. A pinned message carrying the information a new arrival needs, a chat description that matches it, admins named visibly so members know who is real, a separate UTM tag on the link so traffic is attributable, and an anti-spam bot.
Naming the admins is the anti-scam measure that costs nothing. Members who know which accounts are staff do not fall for the impersonation that follows every announcement.
3DAX: activity in a chat nobody was using
Most projects arrive with a chat that is technically populated and visibly dead, and an investor checking the last few days will see that immediately. Activity was raised to around 40 messages a day, with the questions written to be the ones a real prospective user would ask.
This is the service that most needs saying plainly: it produces the appearance of a conversation while a real community is being built, and it is not a substitute for one.
StoreCoin: the fake-member problem
Clients regularly arrive with channels full of purchased members, and Telegram exposes it because post view counts are public. A channel with tens of thousands of members and a few hundred views per post is announcing what happened. The engagement work brings views into a plausible ratio with the member count.
The better answer is not to buy members in the first place. Our guide to running a Telegram group covers admission control, which is what prevents this.
Discord chat activity
Between 40 and 160 daily messages on a monthly basis, depending on the tier. The same caveat applies as above.
What we would tell a project reading these
Two of these six are infrastructure and four are activity. The infrastructure work compounds and the activity work does not, which is why campaigns that run activity without the infrastructure produce a spike and nothing after it. Retention should be measured 30 days after a campaign closes rather than on the day it ends, and our approach to community management is built around that measurement.
