Wplace Reviews 65

moderation team is very incompetent and abusing their power by carpet banning people and not even looking who they ban, they dont even investigate reports they just ban.

Moderation is terrible. Griefing political artworks is allowed, but when I do it I get banned for 7 days and my appeal gets rejected. Won't use anymore and will actively discourage people from using it. Good riddance!

Moderation is 0/10. The moderation team of wplace is more useless than a white pencil is. Your artworks WILL be ruined by griefers, and reports will go unanswered by the moderators.

In fact, you might get suspended for DEFENDING your artwork. Do not even think about giving wplace.live a shot, it's an extremely poorly run otherwise great concept, and it shows no sign of improving.

Used to be fine on my side, but now I took a break for about a week and find my account suspended. For what reason? I go find the reason by researching because they don't actually tell you. "Hate Speech" I have just been recreating pixel artwork and fixing other people's griefing. I'm sorry, what?

So i had to make a account here to complain, there has already been around 30+ of us in our team banned, we sent proof, we have even sent proof of mods working with our oppents, they dont check it, they dont care about, When we try to reclaim art we had before, we get banned, the oppents dont, just fix the moderation, i love the idea of this game but, damn, fix it.

I used to love this website, but the moderation is the worst i have ever seen, and now im about to get perm banned, without ever breaking the rules.

I appealed both of my bans, and i just get notifications that the bans were upheld.

It should be obvious for anyone looking at the pictures/timelapse that we never did anything wrong or "griefed".. Today, my brother was banned for griefing aswell, just for participating in painting the ocean red.

Sure, painting it red might not be "art", but its still not against the rules

Here is a picture of the emails i sent them:

Here is a timelapse video of what we have painted:

Ive spent months playing this game, just for this to happen.

Unless they start doing their job, i would recommend nobody starts playing wplace. Working on something for months, just to get your account banned because of reports that they just accept without looking into it, is so wrong.

Definitely a lot of people agree with me when I say the moderation is horrible. The moderators are just power hungry dictators basically if you wanna draw art just it was an art app not somewhere where people can grief it and then you get banned for defending your art lol

It was good at the beginning. the moderators don't even know what to do when. some people time out, some don't/ some people unblock, some don't. everyone interprets the rules the way they want. not to mention that since they've been doing events where you can get + pixels, the grifers have been ruining everything.

They just don't do ther work and If you ask them in report to ban them before it's to late they ban tou insted.

I was banned twice for “botting”, despite never using any automation tools.

The first time, the moderation team admitted it was a mistake and removed the ban.
Shortly after, I was banned again for the same reason — and this time support claims the ban is “correct”, without providing any evidence, logs, or explanation.

This strongly suggests that bans are issued automatically based on flawed detection systems, and manual review is either minimal or nonexistent.
Many users seem to face the same issue: false positives, no transparency, and no real appeal process.

The project itself is interesting, but the moderation and anti-cheat completely ruin the experience.
I would not recommend investing time or effort here unless moderation becomes transparent and fair

Website is a great idea but just ruined by terrible moderation and tons of griefers, pretty much any artwork I make gets griefed in some capacity so it’s just not worth my energy to contribute anymore.

I and few other people have drawn a logo of a theme park and stuff related to its area that I'm drawing on. Only to found out that few months later "griefers" have ruined it with bigger off-topic artwork. I even DMed the griefer on Discord and told me that "the theme park advertising bothers him much".
Reported this user multiple times, nothing. I've only had a few pixels (623 maybe?), the griefer had much much more (like 2k or more?). Also bought some drawing upgrades, spent real money on them too.

I even joined their official Discord server to seek some help and sent the complain via Forms with proof (with the griefer's username attached; also told them to remove the griefer's art and restore my artwork) and nothing. No response. Instead they suspended my account for like for 3 days just because I was just restoring my artwork. Had to delete my account there.

What a wonderful website. It's basically a giant middle finger for beginners, who have just started their adventure with this website. Stay away.

Everytime i draw something, i come back later to add to it and its all been deleted or something. I've redrawn so many times and every time it disappears.

Just like everyone, I’m here to complain about mods not doing their jobs and completely ignoring hate speech and sometimes even banning people for covering the hate speech and hate symbols with their art

Scammer banned my paid account. No rules violated.

the mods are shits and support lgbtq no matter what if they grief u they dont get banned and if u destroy a lgbtq shit u get banned i tryed 4 accs and all of them get permand ban

i got banned for an entire month for... i have no idea!! they genuinely do not tell you a single thing, even if you email them, and there is SO MUCH gooner art that they just don't take down.

absolute shite do NOT spend money on this horseshit ive been suspended for removing someone else's OFFENSIVE art even after ive reported it twice unmoderated ai slop dont give your money to these people

Moderation was shit, I got banned wrongfully, And SO MUCH GOONER ART THAT THEY ARE NOT DELETING!
If you are a person who wants to enjoy pixel art, I do NOT reccomend wplace, The stuff people make will ruin your experience!
The stuff I have encountered while on this site:
Fetish art
Sexualized art of Loli(Child-like Anime Girl)
NSFW Art
Racist Art of George Floyd and other horrible stuff
And many more other stuff that you do not like to see.
This used to be a place where everyone can draw, But because of their poor moderation and banning everyone who didn't do anything and letting all these disgusting people make this type of art and not doing anything about it, I don't think it's a safe place for anyone anymore.
