Procedures & Measures for Content Moderation

Unity conducts content moderation activities as a result of a report. You can see how to report restricted content below under "Reporting Unacceptable Content".

Unity also has additional procedures and measures for content moderation as outlined below.

Unity may use both automated and human review means of moderation, including:

  • A review of content prior to displaying such content to ensure compliance with our content policies and procedures prior to distribution, and
  • Allowing viewers of the content to report such content.

Teams who are engaged in the content moderation process are trained to review content to ensure compliance with our content policies and procedures. Content may be reviewed upon receipt of a content report to determine compliance and appropriateness.

Automation tooling may be used to analyze content in the following ways:

  • To detect and restrict Unacceptable Content in images being uploaded by Struckd users

Where we use automation, we ensure safeguards are in place such as:

  • Human determination and review of testing of the threshold criteria
  • The inclusion of periodic human review
  • Communication with those subject to a moderation action

Reporting Unacceptable Content

If you are residing in the European Union, you can report Unacceptable Content here . Once received, a member of our team will review the report and take any necessary action. There is no automation or algorithmic decision making in this process.

Recommender System Transparency

Struckd uses a number of recommendation features. This section provides information on how our recommendations work.

Our system calculates which games received the highest number of SuperLikes in the last seven (7) days.
Can a user modify or influence these factors?

Trending & Popular Games
Factor considered in determining which games to show
Our system accounts for various considerations, such as:
  • Number of plays
  • Number of likes
  • Duration of play
  • The “age” of the game (when it was created)

All these factors are accounted for by our system and weighted based on their potential relevance. A strong indicator of relevance, such as whether there is frequent long play durations, would receive greater weight than a weak indicator, such as creator popularity which is not taken into account
Can a user modify or influence these factors?
