Creator AMA (Economy) - with Antoni and Enrico [May 22, 2024]

Hi Antoni / Enrico!

My question relates to moderation, specifically with the very different ways moderation is handling Avatar Bodies vs all other UGC items uploaded.

Currently the process for Avatar Bodies is clearly under strict manual review for every upload.

Other UGC items seem to be handled much more loosely. I can’t be sure but it looks like the only thing that occurs is a check of the mesh for clearly inappropriate stuff, where as Avatar Bodies are being checked meticulously for all of the rules listed here.

The issue is that avatar bodies are being over punished for, while hundreds of inappropriate items spill onto the catalog that are much more of an issue than an avatar body having antenna, or something.

So my question is: Why is moderation not being more reactive to inappropriate items on the catalog, but being very proactive when it comes to Avatar Bodies? Why is this process not being handled the same way by either having a very strict review process for both Bodies and regular UGC, or having a reactive moderation policy that after goes after malicious items first?

Seems that the latter would be best.

Cheers!
