Introducing Developer Updates

Hello Blerpers!

As a team we've decided to begin releasing regular updates regarding product creation and development. Beyond just bullet points, bug fixes, and improvements, we want to talk about what features we're prioritizing, how we're addressing changes, and why we're making the decisions we are. Ultimately, we hope this serves to give our users a voice and opportunity to give open, candid feedback about Blerp products.

Each month's notes will contain one major Developer Update and a minor follow-up release two weeks later. Users will be invited to contact us over listed media channels with concerns or feedback regarding these notes at any time

We’ve had a lot of questions about how our rating system sorts content and what content we filter out. Before we discuss updates, let’s review how Blerp Rating and Search currently function.

Current Policy

Blerp’s library of 250K+ sounds for Twitch are all Rated manually by our team

- Rating Guidelines:

---- G: Appropriate for all ages

---- PG-13: Parents urged to be cautious. Some material may be inappropriate for teens. No swearing. Mild adult content.

---- R: Contains adult material. Swearing, sexual innuendo, contextual violent speech.

---- NC-17: Clearly Adult. Very Vulgar, sexual or violent.

Blerp filters out ALL music content from search (Two exceptions below)

- Streamer features content

- Blerp has DMCA licensing and it’s marked as DMCA Free

Blerp blacklists and blocks search terms that are harmful, racist, or could hurt marginalized groups.
