UGC Moderation FAQ

Can I moderate content before it's visible to other users?

Yes, our 30ms response time enables pre-publication moderation. Images can be screened and approved before they appear on your platform.

What about memes and text in images?

Our OCR detection extracts text from images and can flag hate speech, spam, or policy violations embedded in memes and screenshots.

How do I handle borderline content?

Set up confidence thresholds to auto-approve safe content, auto-reject clear violations, and queue borderline content for human review.

Can I customize what content is allowed?

Yes, you can configure thresholds for each category. Allow artistic nudity but block explicit content, or permit cartoon violence while flagging realistic violence.
