Solved: Error in Moderation on ChatGPT

Many users have reported getting an Error in Moderation on ChatGPT while seeking an answer for a prompt, leaving them perplexed. The moderation feature on ChatGPT aims to keep the conversation in the chatbot safe. This error may occur due to overly long input text, invalid characters, model domain mismatch, or network/browser issues.

If you think this is not the case, you can click on Regenerate response, press F5 to refresh the page & enter the query again, check the OpenAI server status, verify if you have a stable internet connection, or use a different browser.

How can I fix the Error in Moderation on ChatGPT?

1. Review & adjust the prompt

As the chatbot is trained to detect inappropriate content, if it thinks that there is a violation of the moderation policy, it will flag your input. To learn more, check out the guide on Moderation on the OpenAI website.

Then, carefully check the prompt for offensive or hateful language, adjust its length or rephrase it, and provide additional context to ensure the intent is clear. If this doesn’t help, click New chat and enter the prompt again to see if it goes through.
