Sudden Removal from Meta Horizon Creator Program – Request for Clarity

           I recently received notice that I’ve been removed from the Meta Horizon Creator Program due to not meeting eligibility criteria.

 

            I respect that programs like this have standards, but the decision was communicated without any specific explanation. As a dedicated creator working within Meta Horizon Worlds, I take my work seriously and put significant time and effort into building original VR assets and experiences.

 

           My approach has always been focused on quality over quantity. I handcraft my work and prioritize thoughtful design, which naturally takes more time than rapid content production. Because of this, I’ve been building toward larger, more ambitious projects—including creating spaces intended for more mature audiences to socialize comfortably.

 

           At this time, my only published world—BigBadLejin Vault—is nearing completion. A lot of care and effort has gone into it, and it represents the level of quality I aim to bring to future projects as well. It’s also an up-and-coming experience, and the users who have discovered it have shown strong appreciation for the level of detail and effort put into it, expressing interest in seeing more of my future work.

 

There are many additional ideas and experiences I have not yet had the opportunity to complete, which makes this removal particularly difficult to understand.

 

Could someone from the team help clarify:

 

What specific criteria I did not meet?

Whether this decision was based on engagement metrics, activity level, or policy concerns?

If the pace of content production or other measurable factors played a role?

Whether there is a path to reapply or improve standing in the future?

 

I’m fully open to feedback and improving my work, but without clear guidance, it’s difficult to move forward constructively.

 

I believe more transparency in these decisions would benefit not only myself, but many creators who are committed to producing high-quality experiences on the platform.

 

Thank you.

  • Hello!

    Thank you for your post.

    Please note that eligibility for the program is not determined by metrics or world performance.

    MHCP eligibility criteria can be found here:
    https://developers.meta.com/horizon-worlds/learn/documentation/mhcp-program/faq/mhcp-faq/

    For your convenience, I've outlined the criteria below:

    1. Be age 18 or older
    2. Reside in a supported country, excluding Korea, Japan, and U.S. Territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands)
    3. Have a Meta account in good standing

    You are welcome to reapply in the future if your situation changes and you meet these eligibility requirements.

    Thank you

  • I am above the age of 18 and I reside in the United States. My account is still active as well. How is there an eligibility issue? Was I supposed to provide further proof of identification to avoid an underage detection red flag?
