Hi Prashant, Thank you very much for your reply, I gather from your reply that my app was flagged as "Inappropriate Content".
I would like to ask what prompted the decision to flag my app as "Inappropriate Content", after 2 years of being in production? I would be very grateful if you could let me know the reason why my app was flagged so we can work out a solution. I would also like to comment, first of all, that your efforts to eliminate bad content are extremely laudable and praiseworthy (and I can definitely relate to your efforts from working on my own app). However, I think that no matter how refined the automated filter is, there will always be cases where content that the user really wants to see, is flagged as "Inappropriate Content", and if you completely hide it from the user, this will surely lead to user frustration. I think a much better approach is to *warn* the user about "Inappropriate Content", but let him make the final decision. I think YouTube handled this very well, because you can search, and the results will contain videos that some users would consider inappropriate, but if you click on one of this videos, before showing the video, you are warned that this video may be considered inappropriate by some users, and you are given the choice of whether you want to see it or not. Anyway, here are some comments from my users, where you can see for yourself the confusion and frustration of users when the content is hidden (you can also see them here http://www.orkut.com/Main#Scrapbook?uid=7899678479676107042): ღ♥ღ ☆ Dóroty: Olá, td bem?
