Response to code safety review discussion

[ForbiddenJ]

So if I understand correctly, the process is:

1. Automated code-inspection bot flags games for review when specific patterns are detected.
2. Specialists enter game as normal players to see whether the game acts unsafe.
3. If the game behaves in an unsafe manner, then the underlying code is inspected.

I’d say this is an automated ‘Report Game’ system.

That’s comforting. Thanks.

I do have one question regarding this: Does this mean that private games are not inspected at all? I don’t see how the specialists can join games that only the creator can access, unless they have special access permissions.

Our automated review system looks for malicious behavior in code. In the rare event that code gets flagged by the system as a potential safety concern, a very small, specially-trained team goes in-game as players to check it out.

Could you clarify this some? Numbers maybe?

There are billions upon billions of games on the website, so how is this small moderation team able to keep up?

Let’s say there are 1 trillion games, and then let’s say the percentage of those games flagged by the bot is 0.0001%. That would still come out to a whopping 1 million games.

I know these numbers are not at all accurate, but the point is, the game catalog is HUGE, so even if flagging is rare, it’s probably still a lot.
