App store rejected application

edwardos

Hello there!
I've submitted the Flarum website to the ios app. The App Store refused and said:

A method to filter objectionable content
Blocking mechanism for malicious users
How do I admit or do something like that? Please help

edwardos welcome to Flarum !

What exactly have you submitting ? You have written an application that embeds Flarum, or maybe you created a PWA based on one of the third-party tools that exist ? Flarum has no official way of being deployed as a native application.

Surely that rejection message is not complete. Does it maybe ask you to add those controls to your application ? Or make sure you handle that ? Or does it say your app contains those thing ? (which doesn't seem to make any sense)

We have extensions to filter the content on forums, like the ones we use here on Discuss if that's what you're looking for. Look for akismet and stop spam extensions.

App store Review:
Guideline 1.2 - Safety - User Generated Content

Your app enables the display of user-generated content but does not have the proper precautions in place.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please revise your app to implement all of the following precautions:

A method for filtering objectionable content
A mechanism for users to block abusive users

edwardos so do you have anything in place to handle those ? Does it have to be automated ? I suppose you can also say you manually handle those if your platform is very small.

Then I suppose there's a way to confirm to Apple that you are handling that content so you can move forward. Is it a simple confirmation button somewhere or maybe you need to add that to your terms of use or privacy policy or something like that ?

clarkwinkelmann Thank you approved app store.
Problem solved:
I explained how my flarum works in detail:

Protect from objectionable content for the user
1.Step. User may remove objectionable content from its own page
2.Step. User may complain of objectionable content.
3.Step.User reviews the administrator after complaining.
Administrator deletes content
Administrative user blocks or deletes.
Once deleted, the user can never access the permanent site.
The user accesses the site when it is blocked, but cannot post any text or reply.
There is no special communication between users in the application.
In particular, no user can harm or disturb someone, because there is no special communication. Everyone sees the article that the user wrote. However, when the User generates new content, it is automatically taken into review. Administrator approves or disapproves content manually.
4.Step.When the user generates new content

Thank you!
