How does content get flagged?
Only public content is subject to moderation. We have three moderation methods in action:
- AI scans for words or phrases often used inappropriately
- Moderators search for inappropriate content
- Kahoot!'ers like yourself can flag inappropriate content
What is and is not allowed in a kahoot?
Generally, we're happy to allow content that has clear academic value, does not contain personal information and strives for objectivity. Our Acceptable Use Policy outlines that it's the responsibility of every user to ensure their content is not:
- Illegal, threatening, defamatory, abusive, harassing, degrading, intimidating, fraudulent, deceptive, invasive, racist, or contains any type of suggestive, inappropriate, or explicit language which;
- Infringes on any trademark, patent, trade secret, copyright, or other proprietary rights;
- Contains any type of unauthorized or unsolicited advertising;
- Impersonates any person or entity, including any Kahoot! AS employees or representatives.
What do the different moderation statuses mean?
Once flagged, our moderation team will review your kahoot (usually within 24 hours) to determine if it should be quarantined or approved.
- Flagged: You can edit, delete, and play your kahoot. It’s accessible to everyone who has a direct link to it, though it can't be found through the Discover page. You will receive in-platform notices about this.
- Quarantined: You can only edit or delete your kahoot. It’s not accessible to anyone but you. You will receive an email as well as in-platform notices about this.
- Approved: You can edit, delete, play and share your kahoot like normal. It cannot be flagged until after you’ve edited it.

My kahoot only contains memes, why did it get quarantined
Please let me private my kahoot, it's just for a party and fun. It didn't do anything wrong, it's for a birthday party
Please take the roadblock off my kahoot. Its literally for all my friends. were all 18+

at least give a reason for the kahoot to be terminated
I've contacted the Kahoot email address and have had no response. This is made for educational purpose and fun. I want it to be made visible to only me, yet that seems impossible. Hopefully someone can actually contact me...

My kahoot has been "quarantined due to inappropriate content" and there is nothing on there that is inappropriate in the slightest way, i made the quiz for my horticulture and added a few off topic questions about cars and i would very much appreciate it if u contacted me back or just simply manually check the quiz for any inappropriate content and reapprove it as soon as u see for yourself that i made a perfectly clean kahoot. my username is calebm135 and the quiz is titled fgfjkd because i didnt know what else to name it. please check it as soon as possible because class begins in fifteen minutes.
WHY WAS MY KAHOOT QUARANTINED?
The Cakes and Creams Taste Happy :)))
why was it quarantined, Kahoot bootlickers? Why was it quarantined?
Dear Kahoot Moderators,
My friend's kahoot project just got reported for a non sense reason. You should remove the report because it is completely non sense. It is called "pizda 2". I personally think it shouldn't be reported because I don't really see some inappropriate serious content over there. I think your AIs found the content inappropriate because AIs are not correct. I hope his project won't delete because of a stupid thing that has no sense at all.
Thanks for reading!
Dear Kahoot Moderators,
yes. my kahoot does have some inapropeate (How do you spell inapropeate?) content. you probaly gotta say, i was a pretty stubborn little kid back then and i still am today
you know what,
im sorry
WAS MY KAHOOT QUARANTINED?
That kahoot was just for friends anyway! Why would you delete it?
my Kahoot was for friends, so I don't know why the quarantined, so please let me play it
My Kahoot was quarrinted and I made it for myself to help me study for one of my finals. I am just trying to stay awake and pass a final so I put some funny answers in it to keep me awake and motivated, I would really like to study so I do not fail, but thanks anyways thought that's what kahoots were for.
my kahhot was for me and my friends and we call each other funny names as a joke like we will call each other fat or stupid but its funny and its a joke. Kahoot guidelines are total trash..
I have a 100 question Kahoot! and this basically just shut it down without any warning, and without any option for me to do anything, I can't even private it for just me and my friends, making it so I spent hours making a Kahoot! just for them to throw it away, thanks Kahoot!, really making us proud
mine was removed but it was CYBER BULLYING telling you NOT TO CYBER BULLY i am literally going through a mental breakdown about this
It never happened to any of my kahoots, but it did happen to two of my favorited kahoots, specifically "mario kart" by NJMatMD and "Memes" by majorkeymaria. The mario kart kahoot was probably quarantined because it had a whopping 400 questions, but I don't know about the Memes one. However, the guidelines state nothing about 400-question long kahoots, so I'm confused about both.
How long before they re-review it and overturn a ban after I've edited the "inappropriate" content? I just want to private it and be able to get to using it asap. It's kind of unfortunate that they automatically lock down what I've been working on and my time spent on it becomes basically wasted and unusable.
I don't understand why my Kahoot is quarantined. I think it's a mistake and I like to play with it as soon as possible. Thanks a lot
My kahoot got flagged for no reason let me spokie to nthe manaeghr
I'm sorry i didn't know that the "f word" (for jokes) were flagable. I changed it, there are no swear words or any illegal/offensive things in it. Can you please unflag it? We have a charity stream tomorrow and i don't have time to make it again. :/
