How moderation works

Content moderation is automated and handled by 2fans infrastructure, so you don’t have to build any of it. Everything created through the API uses the same pipeline as the dashboard, so treat PENDING as a normal response.

Statuses

moderationStatus on vault items, posts and drops is one of:

A drop takes its status from its items: any rejected or flagged item wins, then any pending item, otherwise it's approved. The buy page won't sell a drop until it's approved.

What the checks look for

Automated checks look for AI generation, deepfakes, nudity, people and likely minors, and celebrity likeness. AI persona faces are compared with known creators.

Text goes through a prohibited-word filter. A caught drop name returns 400 with matchedWord, and a caught post caption returns 422.

Profile images and banners always wait for review.

Building around it

• Poll GET /vault?includePending=true or GET /posts/{id} every 30 to 60 seconds while something is pending.
• Video has to finish processing before moderation starts. isReady: true from POST /vault/video-status doesn't mean approved.
• If a drop is rejected or flagged, tell the creator instead of retrying.
