Moderation as a service

One of the key advantages of the CurseForge for Studios solution is access to our moderation as a service. A dedicated team of professional moderators handles both manual reviews and community-reported UGC to ensure all content aligns with the defined moderation requirements.

Key benefits include:

• IP Accountability and Liability - CurseForge assumes full responsibility for intellectual property compliance, ensuring your game maintains a safe and secure UGC ecosystem

• Rapid review time - Our moderation team is equipped to handle large volumes of UGC, with a maximum 24-hour for reviewing and approving/rejecting new mods

Moderation Guidelines

CurseForge moderation is guided by three sets of rules to ensure consistency and quality:

1. CurseForgePlatform guidelines

These rules apply to all UGC on the CurseForge platform and are designed to:

• Provide safe, secure content free from malware or harmful elements.

• Maintain a baseline quality standard for mod files and projects.

All UGC on CurseForge must adhere to these guidelines, which are detailed in our dedicated guideline section.

2. Game-specific guidelines

Defined by the game studio, these rules address content unique to your game, such as:

• Prohibitions on specific content types.

• Compliance with age restrictions and regional regulations.

These guidelines are established collaboratively after the game is launched on CurseForge.

3. Platform-specific guidelines

For cross-platform games, additional rules may apply based on requirements from PlayStation and Xbox. CurseForge maintains up-to-date knowledge of these platform-specific standards to ensure full compliance.
