How script review works
Every script is read by a paid ScriptBlox reviewer before it goes live. The exceptions are verified creators, who are hand-picked by our staff and publish directly, and the rare script staff restore after reviewing an account.

From upload to live, step by step
1. You upload
You upload a script along with its title and description. Unless you are a verified creator, it does not go live yet.
2. It waits in the queue
Every upload joins one queue. Reviewers normally work it from the oldest upload first, so the scripts that have waited longest are seen first.
3. A paid reviewer reads the code
A paid reviewer opens the code and reads it, including obfuscated loaders: code made unreadable on purpose can be run through a deobfuscation tool first, and a loader is judged by where it downloads its real code from. They check the script, its title, its description and its picture against the upload rules.
4. Approved or turned down
An approved script goes live with a line on its page naming the person who reviewed it and the date. A script that is turned down does not go live, and the uploader is normally told the reason so they can fix it and upload again.
Reviewed by the reviewer's name on the date
5. After it is live
Community reports, patched marks and takedowns keep it honest. Anyone can report a script from its page, scripts that stop working are marked as patched, and anything that turns out to break the rules is taken down.
Why paid people
Accountability
Every approval carries the name of the person who gave it, so each decision has someone behind it.
Consistency
Reviewers are paid for the hours they work the queue, so it is worked as a job, not whenever a volunteer happens to have time.
One standard
Every reviewer follows the same written instructions, and a new reviewer starts in a trial mode where their decisions are checked before any of them count.
Why we do it this way
From September 2025 to June 2026 a flood of junk and harmful uploads hit ScriptBlox. At its peak in March 2026, 69% of all uploads had to be removed. Once every upload started going through a person before going live, that share fell to 5.6% in July 2026 and 2.5% in August 2026.

The exceptions
The exceptions are verified creators, who are hand-picked by our staff and publish directly, and the rare script staff restore after reviewing an account. A verified creator's scripts go live without waiting in the queue, so they show the verified badge and no review line. A restored script shows no review line either, because nobody read that version before it went live. Verified is a badge about a trusted creator; reviewed is about one script a person has read. Scripts from verified creators can still be reported and taken down like anyone else's, and the safety page counts how many scripts went live without the queue each week, both kinds.
