We are making great progress as we continue with our monetization tasks and updates. There are many new features behind the scenes that add much more power to ensuring a safe and fun atmosphere. Features such as the new flagging system and profanity filters are already making a difference. Let's review some of the updates and changes below.
---
New Monetization Features
---
- Flagged Content: Content items that are automatically flagged for review through our series of algorithms to detect abuse, violations and other offensive content or behavior. All items that get flagged will be alerted and reviewed by staff.
- Profanity Filter: A profanity word list that is used to censor comments, titles, descriptions, change-logs and usernames. Any comments and reviews that contained profanity in the past have been removed. Future comments will soon be censored and may also be purged during future monetization phases.
- Pending Review: All items that become flagged for an assortment of reasons will require a review by a GameMaps staff member. Majority of the items that are flagged for review are done through an automatic algorithm process. It doesn't matter who or what is flagged, all users must abide by the same policy and terms.
