Gaming Moderators 🎮

We keep users' gaming experience safe, enjoyable and inclusive, so that players of all ages can feel comfortable and confident when using our client’s gaming platforms.

Using the community guidelines, our job is to make sure all user-generated content is free of illegal, hate speech and harmful content. In ‘policy grey areas’ we are leaned on as the experts in brand safety so we need to make strong judgement calls to keep the community harm-free.

We thrive in the fast paced environment these projects can bring, working through high volumes of content and safeguarding the community, but this is more than policies and rules for us. This is about building a secure and protected gaming environment for all gamers and making sure the brand reputation and community is always kept safe.

You will be going over reported content, in the Japanese language, which will include; comments, chats, strong graphic images, videos and audio files.
