If a segment's vote score equals 10 000 (or is very close to it), it means the person who submitted it is a SponsorBlock VIP. VIPs act like moderators and their submissions are prioritized due to them being trusted.
## 10) Can I use SponsorBlock on platforms other than PC?
## 10) Are there any moderators?
People with the VIP permission can moderate submissions. You can recognise them in Discord by their VIP tag, in the database by having around 10.000 upvotes and by having a little crown next to the votes.
VIPs are trusted to make good segments and remove bad ones, so their downvotes are instant and their segments are the ones which are shown. Additionally, they can lock videos from getting any other segments and ban users.
If you have been making consistently good segments for a while (> 1 month), send me your username and I can consider giving you VIP.
## 11) Can I use SponsorBlock on platforms other than PC?
Yes. Aside from the web browser extension, there are various third-party ports, including mobile. See the list [here](https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/3rd-Party-Ports).

## 12) How can I transfer my Vanced userID to the desktop extension?
Warning: You can only keep one userID, so decide if you want to keep the your extension userID or your Vanced userID. Keep a backup of your private userID in a secure location. If you want to transfer your extension user to Vanced, you will have to reverse the process.

* Paste your userID there and confirm the changes
* Your userID is now transferred. The popup will show stats based on what you have submitted from Vanced.
## 12) Can I create skip segments just for myself?
## 13) Can I create skip segments just for myself?
Yes. If you wish to have skip segments for your personal use, not caring about the rules, just select the timestamps and close the editing box. Make sure not to click "submit". They will be stored locally in your browser and skipped automatically. You can also export them with your options.
## 13) How about adding the “off-topic” category to get straight to the video’s topic?
## 14) How about adding the “off-topic” category to get straight to the video’s topic?
The problem with such a category is that it would be highly subjective. Sure, it would come in handy on tutorial videos, but once it's there, people will use it everywhere.
## 14) Is there any AI involved?
## 15) Is there any AI involved?
[NeuralBlock](https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock) is a neural network that detects in-video YouTube sponsorships, though current implementation within SponsorBlock is limited to a moderation tool which detects incorrect sponsor segments on English videos. Every SponsorBlock segment you see on YouTube has been made by a human (as far as we know).
