Enforcement Principles
Staff consider severity, harm, intent, pattern, history, cooperation, vulnerability of targets, evasion, and risk of recurrence. Responses may include deletion, guidance, warning, timeout, restriction, removal, temporary ban, permanent ban, or platform escalation.
Progressive discipline is common for lower-level behaviour but is not guaranteed. Severe safety violations, credible threats, doxxing, child exploitation, malware, scams, raids, or serious hate may begin at permanent removal.
Comparable cases should receive comparable treatment, but different evidence and context can produce different outcomes. Privacy obligations may prevent staff from explaining another member’s case.
Protective action may be taken on a reasonable safety assessment before every fact is resolved. Long-term findings should rely on documented evidence and allow appropriate review.
