Changes to the Explore Page

[info-creaticode]

Recently, we have found some users repeatedly publishing projects not sutiable for schools, so we are making some big changes to how projects are shared/published. We believe this will lead to a healthy community in the long run.

 

For Existing Projects

 
First, all projects are hidden now, so the Explore page will show no “user projecs” and the search tool will also return 0 results.

Second, we will start a new moderation process that checks every existing project’s content (text, code, images) and comments. Only if a project passes all the moderations will become visible in the Explore page and search results again.

Note that your projects are still there. The change is only about visibility of projects.

If you have some projects that you urgently need to be published, please email info@creaticode.com.

We also preserve the rights to delete inappropriate projects and user accounts if we find intentional/repeated bad behaviors.

 

For New Projects

 
When you share or publish a new project, it will NOT become visible right away. Instead, it will be put in a review queue, and the same moderation process described above will be applied to check its content (text/code/image). If the project passes the review, it will become visible in the Explore page and in search results. If the project fails the review, you will receive a message explaining what changes you need to make for it to pass the review.

In addition, if a project is already shared or published, and you make some new changes to it, then this new version will not become immediately visible to other users (they will still see the previously approved version). The newly changd version will undergo a similar review process, and it will become visible when the review passes.

 

Summary

 

We understand this will make it a bit longer for you to share projects and make changes, but this is how all modern software platforms work, such as Apple app store or Roblox. It will guarantee our platform is safe for use in schools.

We will make sure the review process is accurate and fast so you don’t have to wait long. Sorry about the inconveniences while we make these changes.
