Overview
VIDIZMO understands that User Generated Content (UGC) can sometimes deviate from the brand's appropriate guidelines, posing risks of spam, unwanted, or abusive content being uploaded to the portal. To address this concern, VIDIZMO has implemented a strong content moderation policy by letting you set the required number of moderators. Moderators are needed in any online platform and communities where user-generated content is present, they maintain community guidelines, prevent abuse, and create a positive and safe user experience by performing content moderation.
This policy ensures that the content approval process is thorough and adaptable to different organizational needs, thereby safeguarding the authenticity and accuracy of all published content.
