ArtStation uses automated tooling to detect spam content at the time it is posted, temporarily restricting the reach of flagged content while a human moderator reviews it.

According to ArtStation's California AB-587 regulatory filings (including the most recent 2025 filing), the 'Fraud Detection Tool' assesses whether users of ArtStation are engaging in fraud and is capable of automatically suspending payouts to users without human intervention when suspicious behavior is detected. However, the tool cannot suspend or terminate user accounts on its own — human review is required before any account-level sanctions are applied. ArtStation maintains internal policies defining what constitutes suspicious behavior warranting investigation.
