Users interact in your world in real time. This can raise concerns over how to best moderate and maintain your world’s culture and safety. Community moderators can help alleviate these concerns.

Community moderators provide a way to leverage existing community members to set and enforce norms within specific Horizon worlds. They have the ability to intervene in situations, helping to ensure your world remains a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Moderators have the following abilities:

Mute or Unmute: If someone’s causing trouble, they can mute them for 15 minutes. Moderators can also unmute users when things cool down.
Warn: If someone’s causing trouble, they can send a private warning message to a user to inform them that they are not following world norms.
Remove: In more serious cases, moderators can remove people from the world to keep the peace.

Invite members to be community moderators You can invite eligible members of your community to be moderators from the Manage People menu.

Open the Manage People menu through the World Detail Page.
Click on the Invite People button in the upper right corner.
Select the Moderator role and customize the name that will appear on their nametag from the dropdown menu.
By default, moderators can send warnings, mute people for everyone in the world, and remove people from the world. Select the toggles next to each ability to turn these abilities on or off for the moderator.
Click Invite to send your invitation.
