SCEE addresses LittleBigPlanet “moderating” procedures

The recent “moderating” procedures for “unsuitable” levels in LittleBigPlanet got gamers all in a rampage, so SCEE would like to clarify a few things. Click, click. You know the drill.

The recent deleting moderating procedures for “unsuitable” levels in LittleBigPlanet got gamers all in a rampage at the prospect that they might lose levels that they spent countless hours of love on.

Sony recently explained that only levels containing obscenities and copyrighted materials are being moderated, and of all the levels published so far, only 0.5% were deemed such. In order to shed further light on the subject, SCEE released a statement to clarify some things:

Sony Computer Entertainment and Media Molecule would […] like to take this opportunity to praise the fantastic spirit that our online community has displayed. The vast majority of content uploaded to date has been fun and suitable for all of our community members.

In a very few cases we have upheld complaints regarding unsuitable content or infringement of intellectual property, with less than 0.5% of levels actively moderated as a result of complaints from other users.

Sony Computer Entertainment are committed to continually improving our moderation procedure and the methods of communication we use, in particular regarding the reasons that user complaints are upheld. In the meantime, here are some suggestions for all of our creators:

Ensure that the content you share with other users is suitable for all ages – everybody has access to your level if you publish it.

Please respect other peopleÂ’s intellectual property rights. For example, donÂ’t use images, brands or logos that youÂ’re not entitled to use.

If you come across any content that you feel the need to report, then please do it responsibly. Hoax report.

There you go, folks. Don’t use copyrighted content, and stop making pee-pee levels.
