How LoonEh! is Moderated

Automated and AI Moderation Technology

To keep our platform free from potentially harmful, hateful, or inappropriate content, we moderate material automatically in the following ways:

  • When users make posts, comments, discussions, groups, usernames, titles, and all other non-messaging content, our system automatically scans it using our profanity, spam, and harm filters
  • When users share images or videos that may go against our terms, our system may automatically suspend or flag your account for review
  • Profanity may be automatically flagged and blocked or overwritten by our systems in order to provide a safe and respectful environment for all our users
Human or Manual Moderation

Our moderation team actively reviews flagged content, reports, and suspicious behavior. This includes and is not limited to reviewing posts, comments, activity feeds, group discussions, forums, groups, pages, and all reported content on the platform by other users. Moderators do not read private messages unless they are reported for violations.
