Safety & Content Moderation

ClassHost is committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and professional environment for learning. This guide explains our content moderation standards, reporting procedures, and security filters.

Tiered Moderation Structure

We use a three-tier moderation structure to maintain safety while respecting student creativity:

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│             TEACHER MODERATION               │

├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│             AUTOMATED FILTERS                │

│ common malware, script injections, & phishing.│
├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤

└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Moderation Policies

We strictly enforce moderation on public galleries (Explore tab). The following content is prohibited:

1. Phishing & Malicious Code

Websites designed to look like official login pages (e.g., fake Facebook, Google, or bank logins) to steal student passwords. Script uploads containing obfuscated JavaScript or redirects.

2. NSFW Content

Pornography, sexually explicit text or images, and websites promoting commercial adult services.

3. Cyberbullying & Harassment

Websites targeting specific classmates, students, or educators with insults, private images, or defamatory content.

Reporting Abusive Sites

If you find a website hosted on ClassHost that violates these terms:

[!CAUTION]

Because students own their GitHub accounts, ClassHost safety teams cannot delete files directly from your personal GitHub. If a student refuses to delete malicious content, ClassHost will request GitHub to terminate the repository or revoke the app authentication.
