What Is VerifyUGC? Frequently Asked Questions

VerifyUGC is a cross-platform trust and safety layer for the user-generated-content creator economy. It combines a community-sourced global blacklist, a Discord enforcement bot, and verified creator profiles so a scammer banned in one community is kept out of every participating server — across Roblox, Fortnite/UEFN, and Minecraft. Below are direct answers to the questions people ask most.

What is VerifyUGC?

VerifyUGC is a cross-platform trust and safety network built for the UGC creator economy. As marketplaces for virtual items, experiences, and creative commissions have exploded across Roblox, Fortnite/UEFN, and Minecraft, so have scams, stolen work, chargeback fraud, and repeat bad actors who simply move to the next community after a ban. VerifyUGC closes that gap with a shared, evidence-backed safety network that follows bad actors across platforms instead of resetting at every server door. The principle is simple: ban a bad actor once, and keep them out everywhere. It is built on three parts — a community-sourced global blacklist, a Discord enforcement bot, and verified creator profiles.

How does VerifyUGC work?

It works in three layers that reinforce each other:

• Report. Communities file bad actors — with evidence — into a single global blacklist that every participating server shares.
• Enforce. The VerifyUGC Discord bot checks every member against that list and applies bans automatically across all protected servers, so one offender caught in one place is locked out network-wide.
• Verify. Legitimate creators build a verified profile with linked accounts and a 0–100 trust score, so anyone can confirm exactly who they're dealing with before sending money or assets.

Is VerifyUGC free?

Yes. VerifyUGC has a free tier that lets you search the global blacklist, add the Discord enforcement bot to your server, and create a verified creator profile and badge — at no cost. Paid plans and a developer API add bulk verification, programmatic access, watchlist alerts, and higher rate limits for communities and businesses operating at scale. Most individual creators and server owners never need to pay.

What platforms does VerifyUGC support?

VerifyUGC supports creators and communities across Roblox, Fortnite/UEFN, and Minecraft, with Discord as the shared enforcement layer that ties them together. Trust data follows a person across every supported platform rather than resetting at each server. Each platform also has its own dedicated guidance — see Roblox scam protection, Fortnite & UEFN creator safety, and Minecraft community safety.

• Auto-enforce bans in your server with the Discord bot.
