1. MODERATION & ENFORCEMENT

Moderators are volunteers/employees who do their best. They're also human and occasionally petty. We apologize in advance and also in arrears.

Warning, suspension, or ban may be issued without prior notice. We believe in the element of surprise as a community management strategy.

We may use automated systems to detect violations. These systems are confidently wrong approximately 23% of the time. Your mileage may vary.

Moderation decisions are final, except when they're not. Appeals exist to make you feel heard, not to change outcomes.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Trademark use must be nominative and appropriate. If you don't know what that means, neither do we. Just don't be weird about logos.

Copyright violations will be addressed per DMCA requirements, which means we'll take it down first and ask questions never.

Respect others' intellectual property. Also respect ours—we own everything you post here, remember?

Fair use claims are evaluated by staff with no legal training. This keeps things interesting and our lawyers employed.

3. GUIDELINE UPDATES

Major updates will be announced via the notification system you probably muted because it was annoying.

Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance. Not using the platform also constitutes acceptance, spiritually.

4. REPORTING & APPEALS

To report a violation, use the report button that's hidden three menus deep. We made it hard to find to reduce frivolous reports. This has not worked.

False reports may result in action against the reporter. Defining 'false' is an exercise we'd rather not engage in.

Appeals must be submitted within 30 days using a form that requires you to already be logged in to the account you can't access. Good luck.

All reports are reviewed by our team, which consists of AI systems, offshore contractors, and one very tired person in San Francisco.

5. RESPECTFUL CONDUCT

Disagreement is welcome; toxicity is not. The line between them is determined by whichever moderator is on shift, their caffeine levels, and the general political climate.

Treat others as you would want to be treated, unless you're into that sort of thing, in which case please keep it off our platform.

6. SAFETY FEATURES

Privacy settings let you control who sees your content. The default settings expose everything, because that's how we make money.

Two-factor authentication is recommended. We won't require it because users complained, and then they'll complain when they get hacked. It's a beautiful cycle.
