We've seen a few messages from people whose levels have been moderated but are puzzled to work out why it happened. Here's a quick overview of how the moderation process works :

 - You upload your level

 - Someone plays the level and finds something they don't think is appropriate (we're ignoring "funny" people who report content for laughs in this example)

 - Your level is placed into a moderation queue to be checked over

 - Within 24 hours absolute maximum the moderation report is checked

 - If the complaint is upheld, the level is removed from the shared part of the game, if the offense was particularly strong further action may be taken against the content creator

That's how it stands right now. We are working on a system whereby any level that is moderated will inform the creator of the level why the action was taken, as there could be unintentionally unsuitable content in the level, or a cultural offense which is harmless in one country and offensive in another - either way we want to ensure that creators' levels are only permanently removed if they warrant it. In most innocent cases a simple tweak to the level may be required and that's what we're working on communicating.

Thanks for the info Sam.

If a level is removed "from the shared part of the game", is it still available to the creator to re-edit from their moon?

Well... this is a positive then.  Nothing is "free" in this world. 

Last thing you guys want is some lawsuit up the you know what... even if it has no merits.  It would be bad publicity at the very least.  

Good job with the moderating.

I had the player blowing up George W. Bush as a joke, was that going to far? I have a twisted sense of humor, but it seems harmless to me. It's called BushWhacker and I tried erasing it last night just in case it was offensive, but it wouldn't let me.

Thanks for making a great game.
