<p class="is-style-lead">Pump.fun, which recently took a lot of flak over an ugly abuse of their livestream, has sent out a plea for urgent moderation reforms from the community.</p> 
<p>The <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/51-attack-being-livestreamed-for-educational-purposes-exclusive-interview/">livestream</a> pool was intended as a source of support for creators and socialization, but after being used in a very unfortunate way, the crypto community was left stunned.</p> 
<p>The issue came to light when Beau, who works as a safety product manager at <a target="_blank" href="https://pump.fun/coin/J5XcTVfc3U8sYpLA5xpkiusTjTUdqepMnks1Acwmqw8y" rel="nofollow">Pudgy Penguins</a>, tweeted about how a user was threatening to die by self-harming if their token did not reach a certain market cap, with alleged reports of another individual who took their own life. All in all, the platform was quick to take action and disabled the live stream feature. Further, they have decided to provide support to viewers who were impacted.</p>

<p>On Nov. 25, 2024, they released a community message that addressed the recent events and explained their response. The team expressed regret for the situation and recognized the harm that had occurred. The team further acknowledged the community’s concern and repeated their dedication to safety by outlining their existing measures, which include removing inappropriate content and flagging NSFW materials.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many users suggested disabling NSFW by default, while others requested a ‘report’ option so users can flag untoward content, helping <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/upland-believes-community-cohesion-drives-blockchain-adoption/">moderators</a> catch sight of it sooner. Their choice to pause live streams and focus more on reforming their moderation shows that the team is dedicated to creating a safer space for its users.&nbsp;</p>
