Building community moderation around evidence, not guesswork

Healthy technical communities need moderation that is both responsive and accountable. A report should lead to a review record, not an invisible side effect.

Preserve the reviewed evidence#

Moderation cases store the content snapshot that triggered review. Later edits or deletions cannot erase the context behind an operator decision.

Prefer reversible actions#

Where possible, operators can hide or lock content before permanent removal. Resolution notes and the responsible operator remain visible in the private audit trail.

Separate policy from popularity#

Commercial performance does not increase publication privileges or weaken enforcement. Trust decisions remain independent from recommendation and sponsor systems.
