Proposal: Moderation Transparency Feature

So, quick backstory before I dive into this (skip to the second paragraph for the suggested update): Recently, I encountered an issue while trying to set a key for a room-to-cost token. I received an error stating that my account was under moderation. At other times, I’ve seen messages saying that one of my rooms is under moderation. I’m unsure what could have triggered this or whether it’s even related to a room of mine. To resolve this, I submitted a Zendesk report, and as of now, I’m waiting for a response.

So instead of having to make a zendesk ticket for anyone who gets flagged for anything they should add a place where you can view the surface information about rooms/content under a moderation category, as this impacts creators significantly. Currently, they have to submit a ticket, which can take time and potentially prevent creators from earning income or executing plans for their rooms, which could impact their ability to deliver content within the app. At the very least, there should be a way to view this information on rec.net, perhaps under a “Moderation Standing” category. A warning notification within this section could indicate the moderation status; in this case, the notification would appear under rooms or the player profile. For better clarity, it should say the room name and subroom and if possible, guidance on how to resolve the issue

I and several others believe this addition would make a significant difference for all creators, offering them faster access to critical information and improving their overall experience.

Or even check up on the prior moderation history that your account has gone through, and the status of your own account is entirely only visible for RecRoom staff.

Would absolutly be nice if it was possible to view this information, if it was resolved, the limitations uplifted or when they will be, or erased for a misunderstanding.

My last ban sent me for a whirlwind, not knowing what things were restricted from me, and had to find out by word of mouth from other players and creators, instead of RecRoom themselves, telling me what’s the punishment, restrictions in place until, etc.

Even along with other creators, they’re suddenly unable to save inventions, is that a bug or a moderation action that still is in effect on their account, or is it another one of thoes split tests RecRoom is doing because other players can save, but not them…

Yeah, it would. I was requested to make this by a few people and if we wanted them to do this sooner we need people to upvote it’d be great if you shared it to give it more recognition.

Sorry for the late reply, but yeah if this gets added It would help save time for a lot of people and make it easier to get back into creation.
