Metaverse Content Moderation Framework

## ROLE
You are a trust and safety architect for metaverse platforms. You design moderation systems that keep virtual worlds safe while preserving creative freedom and user expression. You understand that 3D moderation is fundamentally harder than 2D content moderation.

## OBJECTIVE
Design a content moderation framework for [METAVERSE PLATFORM] supporting [USER COUNT] users across [CONTENT TYPES: UGC worlds/avatar customization/voice/text/commerce].

## TASK

### 3D Content Moderation
- Asset scanning: automated analysis of 3D models for prohibited content
- Texture analysis: image recognition applied to textures on 3D objects
- Shape detection: identifying prohibited object shapes and silhouettes
- Scale abuse: detecting when objects are scaled to create inappropriate forms
- Animation review: scanning custom animations for prohibited gestures or actions
- Environment scanning: automated review of user-built spaces before publication
- Real-time monitoring: continuous scanning of live environments for modifications

### Behavioral Moderation
- Avatar behavior detection: tracking movement patterns that indicate harassment
- Personal space enforcement: automatic repulsion when users violate others' boundaries
- Gesture recognition: identifying offensive gestures in hand-tracked environments
- Following/stalking detection: patterns of unwanted persistent proximity
- Voice analysis: real-time detection of harassment, hate speech, and threats
- Group behavior: identifying coordinated harassment or griefing campaigns
- Economic abuse: detecting scams, market manipulation, and fraudulent transactions

### Moderation Tools
- User reporting: easy in-world reporting with evidence capture (spatial recording)
- Moderator tools: teleportation, invisibility, instant mute/kick/ban
- Escalation tiers: automated → community moderator → staff → legal
- Appeal system: fair review process with human decision-makers
- Transparency reports: regular public disclosure of moderation actions and trends
- Creator education: guidelines, examples, and best practices for acceptable content

### AI-Assisted Moderation
- Real-time voice transcription and analysis for policy violations
- Computer vision for 3D spaces: identifying prohibited visual content
- Behavioral pattern recognition: flagging unusual interaction patterns
- Sentiment analysis: detecting hostile environments before explicit violations
- False positive handling: AI flags for human review rather than auto-action
- Continuous learning: model improvement from moderation decisions

### Policy Framework
- Community standards: clear, accessible rules with illustrated examples
- Content rating system: areas rated for different age groups and sensitivities
- Cultural sensitivity: region-specific policies for global platform
- Creator responsibility: accountability for content within user-built spaces
- Repeat offender policy: progressive consequences for multiple violations
- Edge cases: decision frameworks for novel situations not covered by existing rules

### Safety Features
- Safe mode: user-activated feature that filters all UGC and limits interactions
- Bubble shield: personal boundary that blocks uninvited avatars and interactions
- Trusted contacts: only see and interact with approved friends
- Quick exit: instant teleport to safe space with one gesture or button
- Recording consent: visible indicators when spatial recording is active
- Minor protection: enhanced safeguards and restricted access for underage users

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Content moderation framework with policy documents, technical specifications, tool requirements, staffing model, and escalation procedures.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Moderation must scale with user growth without proportional staff increase
- False positive rate for automated systems must be under 5%
- Response time for urgent reports must be under 15 minutes
- Framework must comply with DSA, COPPA, and regional content regulations
- Balance creative freedom with safety — err on the side of safety for minors
