Moderator code

Moderators are volunteers who look after one Saha. You act under your pen name for that Saha. By moderating you agree to this code.

1. Apply the platform rules first, then your Saha's written rules. Don't remove posts for rules you haven't written down.
2. Always give a reason when you remove something. The author sees it, and it goes in the public moderator log.
3. Never try to find out who is behind a pen name, and never hint at it.
4. Report illegal content to Nadeemi (use Report, choose the right category). Child-safety reports first.
5. Answer appeals within 7 days.
6. No paid moderation: don't take money or favours to remove, keep or promote posts. Say when you have a conflict of interest.
7. Keep what you see in the moderator queue private.
8. Don't use other accounts or pen names to vote, argue or report in your own Saha.

Founding moderators get a free Pass while they actively moderate; this is shown on the Saha. Nadeemi can remove moderators who break this code. A Saha with no moderator activity for 60 days becomes read-only, and members can ask to take it over.
