For isolated or minor violations, we may remove the offending content and notify you by email. Your account remains active while you address the issue.

For moderate violations or where broader review is warranted, your public profile page will be hidden from visitors while we investigate. You retain access to your dashboard. We will notify you by email within 48 hours with the reason.

Typical triggers: reported impersonation, suspected spam network, significant copyright complaint.

For repeated or escalating violations, we may suspend your account for up to 30 days. During suspension you cannot log in or edit your profile.

Permanent bans are applied for:

• CSAM or content sexualizing minors (immediate, no prior warning).
• Terrorism-related content (immediate, no prior warning).
• Phishing or malware distribution.
• Repeated serious violations after temporary suspension.
• Creating a new account after a permanent ban.

All associated accounts sharing verified identity or infrastructure may also be banned.

We aim to complete initial review within 48 hours of a report or flag.

Notifications will be sent to the email address on file with the reason, relevant policy section, and (where permitted by law) the nature of the reported content.

Send an email to [email protected] with:

• Your username and the email on your account.
• The action you are appealing and the date of notification.
• A clear statement of why you believe the action was in error.
• Any supporting evidence (e.g., proof of identity for impersonation disputes).

We will acknowledge receipt within 2 business days. A separate reviewer (not the original moderator) will assess the appeal and respond within 7 business days.

• Accepted: The action will be reversed or reduced and your account reinstated as appropriate.

The appeal decision is final for that incident.
