Comments and creations uploaded on our website are often checked to make sure they stick to the ѿý's rules for commenting and uploading. And if they don't, they're removed. We call this service moderation.
If you don’t agree with a moderation decision you can make an appeal. Read more about how to do that in “Can I appeal against a moderation decision?”
How we moderate
Reactive-moderation
Most comments or uploads are “reactively-moderated”. That means we check them when either:
- They are reported by someone else (using the "Report" link found at the bottom of every comment).
- A moderation filter alerts us there may be a problem.
Pre-moderation
Whoever you are, we'll always check your first comment before it appears. We call this "pre-moderation". Your account usually then reverts to normal.
If, at any time, someone keeps breaking the rules for commenting or uploading, they might have their account “set” to pre-moderation.
In these cases, a moderator checks every comment before it appears.
