does your level get taken off if not played for a while my level was published for about four weeks and now its away and I cant publish my level again. It took ages to make this level Im clueless

[Chas19]

I personally think its random idiots who report stuff thats perfectly ok to get the level removed. Eg its too hard so they report it. And i dont think Mm check the level before they moderate it. Which is wrong.

i agree very wrong

simliar thing happened to me. my level got removed for no apparant reason at all, noone told me anything about why, i cant republish it, it had absolutely no influences from copyrighted products at all.

the level was quite short, and went like: sackboy climbs a tree, takes a elevator to the foot of a mountain, travel through the mountain, gets on a lift and goes to find a christmas tree, eventually he meets up with santa and gets handed christmas gifts. end of level.

no rudeness, no gore, no violence.

im puzzled and frankly quite upset with this whole ordeal. especially since i was only 2 hearts as a creator from getting the create trophy. and that level had maybe 30 hearts.

so incidentally i went and made a short level just a entry and an exit and did the whole heart 4 heart thing. not very proud of it but the trophy would have been mine...

as i said, ***** of about this so im not really in the mood of playing more littlebigplanet, i had plowed several hours inte creating the level.

at least tell me why?

Same here, my level was entered for a competition and had votes but they stopped so i went to see if my level had any problems and it was gone. Maybe someone from the competition reported them? Who knows?

I think it is a safety precaution Mm have to take. Theres bound to be idiots good griefing levels that are perfectly fine, but as moderators can't check every level all at once, they have to stop the level being played until it has been checked, otherwise potentially offensive content could be played.

Remember its a 3+ game, and if any bad content is spotted, the idea is to get it out the way as quickly as possible so that unappropriate levels are not seen by the wrong eyes. In theory, its a safe idea, but in practise, theres always the idiots that are going to ruin it for everyone.

Same here, this is becoming a joke!!!!

[Tommy085]

Same happend to me, no copyright what so ever, only thing it could be it is called The Nightclub.

but I am not awareof any films called that? Please your thoughts?

[Blokeh]

I believe I have an answer to this....

When people "Good grief" a level, it instantly gets removed and placed into a "pending investigation" queue. This is so that if there IS offensive content, then other people don't get offended.

The moderators then play through the level and check as the WHY it was griefed. If the moderator plays it and agrees with the grief, then it is removed permanently.

If, however, the moderator plays it and thinks "why, this is perfectly fine!", then the level is re-uploaded and all is good with the world.

Recent moderations of The Azure Palace and the awesome World Of Colour caused uproar recently, and they're both back up, as I played them myself this evening. God I love WoC.

Anyways, I believe that's how the moderation system works, and there's 2 things wrong with it.

1. You are not told this via email, PSN message, in-game, anything.

2. Media Molecule and Sony have not publicly shouted this from the rooftops so that everyone understands it.

If more people knew this, I believe that the people screaming "zomg y iz mah lvl gon? lolol *****" would actually understand and stop making these threads.

Of course, if I'm wrong, then the system totally sucks.

to add to what blokeh said.

if someone reports a level and there's nothing wrong, they should get punished i.e. don't let them grief levels, play lbp online or even remove a level they have created!!
