Trust & Governance
How 3D Models Community handles reports, moderates content, enforces guidelines, and keeps the platform fair.
Reporting Content
Any community member can report a model or comment they believe violates guidelines. Reports are the starting point for the moderation pipeline.
Report reasons
- Inappropriate — Offensive or unsuitable content
- Spam — Junk content or self-promotion
- Suspected AI-generated — Content that appears to be generated by AI
- Copyright — Infringes on someone’s intellectual property
- Other — Anything else that violates community guidelines
Reports are anonymous to the model author. You don’t need to provide proof — the review system handles investigation.
The Jury System
When a model receives enough reports, it enters jury review. A panel of 9 eligible community members is randomly assembled to review the content.
Jurors see the content in a blind format — no author identity, no social signals, no specific report reasons. Each juror votes independently and provides a written rationale.
A supermajority is required for a binding verdict. Split decisions are escalated to platform moderators.
Juror accuracy tracking
The platform tracks how often each juror’s votes align with final outcomes. Jurors with higher accuracy are more likely to be selected for future panels, and those with consistently poor accuracy may be temporarily suspended from jury duty.
This creates a self-improving moderation system where the most reliable community members have the most influence over outcomes.
Enforcement Outcomes
Enforcement is tiered. Not every violation results in the same outcome.
- No violation found — The model is cleared and the creator faces no consequences.
- Content hidden — Removed from public listings. The author can appeal or edit and resubmit.
- Content removed — Fully removed from the platform. Repeated violations may escalate to account-level restrictions.
- Account restrictions — For pattern violations, accounts may face upload limits or bans.
Appeals
If the jury votes to hide or remove your model, you can submit an appeal. Provide a written explanation and supporting evidence, and an admin will review the case.
Appeals are reviewed by platform administrators who can overturn jury decisions when warranted. If you need help with an appeal or have questions about a moderation decision, contact support.
Economic Fairness
Promotion does not override trust signals. A model promoted with cred tokens still displays its real ratings, print-success rate, and community feedback. Spending tokens gets you visibility, not a better score.
Promotion spending is capped per model and per day, so no single creator can buy their way to the top of every feed. The ranking system weighs quality, engagement, and trust — paid promotion is a visibility boost, not a ranking override.
