Community management metrics: measure trust, not noise
Build a useful scorecard for moderation, responses and recurring member needs.
Measure questions resolved
Track unanswered questions, time to first helpful response and whether requests return unresolved. For sensitive support questions, avoid logging more personal information than needed.
Track moderation quality
Review false-positive bans, appeals, repeated spam patterns and moderator workload. Raw numbers of deleted comments can increase during a bot attack even if the team is doing well.
Review member value over time
Look at recurring contributors, topic usefulness and opt-out or leave patterns. Use qualitative feedback in addition to quantitative metrics; small groups may differ greatly from public channels.
