Did you know that TikTok has both inhouse moderators and volunteer Live stream moderators working behind the scenes to protect users and create a positive online environment?
While live stream moderators are chosen by the creator and are essentially there to respond to and filter comments, answer questions, and manage any inappropriate chat messages from followers and viewers, TikTok’s main bank of moderators are selected to action reports and manage platform violations.
Mod Stands for Moderator
A Mod on TikTok is a Moderator.
Their job is, first and foremost, to assess and review any content which has been flagged as violating guidelines or as containing something which is forbidden on TikTok.
If they find the content to be in violation of TikTok policies, they can escalate it to the next level.
They are also trained in how to deliver feedback on trends and in-app policies, and need to be able to effectively and efficiently analyse content to determine whether or not it poses to a risk to users.
What Skills Do TikTok Moderators Need?
Aside from an ability to work quickly and make fast decisions, moderators on TikTok also need to be impartial and level-headed. They need to be able to remove personal ideologies and views when watching a video or assessing whether a video falls under community guidelines or not and must make swift decisions with regards to further action.
Finally, TikTok moderators need to be effective when it comes to time management – able to assess and review countless posts ad videos every day.
