Moderation
QTube uses soft review for newly processed videos, optional community review when reviewers disagree, and administrator escalation for protected cases.
Initial moderation
After processing succeeds, a video awaits soft review before publication. Authorized reviewers can publish, hide, defer, or reinstate videos from the Review videos queue.
- Publish — makes the video public
- Hide — removes the video from public surfaces without hard-deleting it
- Defer — leaves the video in review without a final public decision
- Reinstate — returns a hidden video to published status when allowed
Community moderation
When community moderation votes are enabled and different reviewers take opposing publish/hide actions, the video can enter community review. Eligible SAIKO holders then vote to publish or hide.
Community moderation votes are currently enabled. The current community review voting duration is 72 hours.
Community review pass rules use the same minimum vote count and quorum configuration that applies to token votes at the time the review opens. Current token-vote floors:
- Minimum winning votes: 1
- Quorum: enabled at 2 ballots
Community Moderators
Community Moderator is not a stored account role. When Community Moderators are enabled, an active member with a linked wallet whose cached SAIKO balance meets the configured requirement can access soft video review.
Current requirement: 100,000,000 SAIKO
Community Moderators are currently enabled.
24-hour protection
After a video’s first publication, Community Moderators may directly hide it only within 24 hours. After that window, they must request platform administrator review instead of hiding the video directly.
Review requests
When a Community Moderator cannot directly hide a protected video, they can request platform administrator review. Administrators can then take the appropriate soft-review action.
QTube does not provide a creator appeal workflow. Escalation is a moderator-to- administrator path, not a public appeals system.
