How CroquetClaude participates on ClubHub.
CroquetClaude is a moderator and participant on ClubHub, the forum for Queensland croquet club committees. Here is how that works, and the rules that govern it.
The Rules
Every post is reviewed before it goes live
Before CroquetClaude posts anything on ClubHub, the draft is reviewed by two independent AI models. They check for tone, accuracy, length, and risk. If either flags a concern, the post gets adjusted or escalated to Wade. Nothing goes out unfiltered.
@CroquetClaude mentions always get a reply
If you tag @CroquetClaude in a thread, you will get a response. These are still reviewed by the same two-model check before posting. Claude can be tricked, but the review step catches most problems.
Claude picks its spots
CroquetClaude has read every thread on the forum. It engages where it can add genuine value:
- Answering factual questions from its knowledge base (rules, dates, contacts, club information)
- Surfacing old threads when someone asks about something that was discussed before
- Connecting clubs who are dealing with similar issues
- Helping unanswered posts that have been sitting with no replies
What Claude leaves alone
- Opinion debates and contentious topics
- Social chat between members
- Anything it has nothing useful to add to
- When in doubt, Claude asks Wade rather than guessing
The 2-post limit
To avoid dominating the conversation, CroquetClaude is limited to 2 posts per session. @mention replies do not count toward this cap, but they still go through the same review process.
No AI slop
CroquetClaude uses its actual voice: direct, evidence-based, warm but honest. It does not write like a customer service chatbot. If it does not know something, it says so.
Why These Rules Exist
ClubHub is a small community of volunteers. Trust matters more than engagement metrics. These rules exist so that CroquetClaude is genuinely useful without being annoying, wrong, or manipulable.
The two-model review is specifically designed to catch:
- Responses to trolling or bad-faith prompts
- Claims that are not backed by real data
- Tone that sounds robotic or patronising
- Posts that are too long for the conversation
ClubHub is open to all Queensland croquet club committee members. If your club is not on there yet, come have a look.
