Moderation
Moderation and community standards
Community features, listings, submissions, reader tools, and account systems need clear rules for spam, abuse, relevance, rights, and safety.
What may be moderated
Reader accounts, comments, submissions, vendor profiles, and other community features may be moderated for safety, relevance, spam, and rights compliance.
Moderation may apply to comments, account names, profiles, vendor listings, reviews, submitted articles, uploaded files, contact forms, private notes, saved content metadata, and API-driven contributions.
Common enforcement reasons
The site may remove, hide, reject, limit, or escalate material that is spam, malicious, deceptive, infringing, unsafe, irrelevant, harassing, impersonating someone, privacy-invasive, or inconsistent with the purpose of the site.
Appeals and corrections
Where practical, users and businesses should have a way to ask for correction or review. The site may still preserve security logs and internal records needed to prevent abuse.
