Why moderate?Moderation is necessary for several reasons: content may be advertising spam, automated or not, or it may violate our guidelines on respectful interaction as laid out here and in our code of conduct. Content guidelinesMarketing content and links to commercial websites that are not related to Public Lab's mission are not allowed. While we do permit users to share information about products and companies relevant to open source/environmental research, open source tools, and justice work in the context of a wider discussion, we do not allow users to use our platform for advertising. Interaction guidelinesPlease treat our community website and mailing lists as a place of respectful conversation and civility. These guidelines are a brief overview with some added specifics for mailing list and website norms; please read our code of conduct for a more complete description of expected respectful interaction.

Code of conductWe have adopted a Code of Conduct, based in part on those of many other open communities. You can find it here: https://publiclab.org/conduct Moderation systemsModeration can happen through different systems in the Public Lab community. Here's a brief overview. Discussion listsPublic Lab hosts many different topical and regional discussion lists, currently using Google Groups. Moderators review the first posts of all new members before approving them to post automatically. Community members may be placed in moderation if their posting pattern changes such that it violates our content guidelines. Before being placed in moderation, a member will be notified on the relevant list. There are different moderators for each list, but the Community Development team (@liz and @stevie) are moderators on every one, and are also in the moderators group. Moderators on these lists are not the same as moderators on the PublicLab.org site -- read on! PublicLab.org moderatorsUsers on PublicLab.org can be marked with the role "moderator" or "admin", which gives them the ability to ban posts and users. Other users can undo these actions. Admins can actually permanently delete content. See the people who are moderators and/or admins at the links below: Research note moderationResearch notes can be individually banned, which, when using the Moderators will see the following extra buttons in the dashboard display of research notes: If you are a moderator, please subscribe to "All Research" on the subscriptions page, so that you receive emails of all new postings. You'll see "Spam" links below each when you get email notifications, which is the fastest way to catch spam: Moderators are also able to moderate on the page itself: Wiki page moderationAnyone can revert a wiki page or main image, but moderators can moderate specific revisions from wiki pages in the "like" dropdown (same as moderating research notes), as well as on the Revisions tab. Moderated revisions don't appear as the current revision of a wiki page, but aren't deleted, and can be republished by a moderator. They appear like this in the Revisions list: Comment moderationComments can be marked spam, which will ban their author, but an additional step is required to delete the comment itself. See feature request here for plans to fix this. Delayed postingAs of April 2016, first-time posters on PublicLab.org are moderated by default. User banningUsers whose posts are spam are themselves banned and their profiles and other comments are hidden except to moderators and admins. Moderators and admins can unban a user from their profile page. How to appealHas a post, comment, or email of yours been put in moderation, or have you been banned and you don't think you should have been? Email the moderators group at moderators@publiclab.org. Please make sure to include your username and the email address you used to sign up for the site.

Why moderate?Moderation is necessary for several reasons: content may be advertising spam, automated or not, or it may violate our guidelines on respectful interaction as laid out here and in our code of conduct. Content guidelinesPlease treat our community website and mailing lists as a place of respectful conversation and civility. These guidelines are a brief overview with some added specifics for mailing list and website norms; please read our code of conduct for a more complete description of expected respectful interaction. When posting to Public Lab lists, please: Stay on topic
When starting a new topic, use clear and succinct subject lines
Mind your tone
Code of conductWe have adopted a Code of Conduct, based in part on those of many other open communities. You can find it here: https://publiclab.org/conduct How to appealHas a post, comment, or email of yours been put in moderation, or have you been banned and you don't think you should have been? Email the moderators group (read more below) at moderators@publiclab.org. Moderators groupThe moderators group is a discussion list including all moderators, who are Public Lab community members, where moderation decisions can be discussed if there's uncertainty. Contact the group by emailing moderators@publiclab.org. Moderators can access the group here: https://groups.google.com/group/publiclab-moderators For reasons of privacy, the moderators group archives are only readable by moderators. This ensures that the moderators can discuss questionable, private, or sensitive content to make decisions about moderation. Individual moderators may act to moderate any inappropriate content based on the content guidelines above. Any ambiguous case can be brought up by any community member by emailing the moderators group for input, including by the moderated party. Become a moderatorThe moderators group is open to anyone in our community. To join, please email moderators@publiclab.org with a link to your profile. Moderation systemsModeration can happen through different systems in the Public Lab community. Here's a brief overview. Discussion listsPublic Lab hosts many different topical and regional discussion lists, currently using Google Groups. Moderators review the first posts of all new members before approving them to post automatically. Community members may be placed in moderation if their posting pattern changes such that it violates our content guidelines. Before being placed in moderation, a member will be notified on the relevant list. There are different moderators for each list, but the Community Development team (@liz and @stevie) are moderators on every one, and are also in the moderators group. Moderators on these lists are not the same as moderators on the PublicLab.org site -- read on! PublicLab.org moderatorsUsers on PublicLab.org can be marked with the role "moderator" or "admin", which gives them the ability to ban posts and users. Other users can undo these actions. Admins can actually permanently delete content. See the people who are moderators and/or admins at the links below: Research note moderationResearch notes can be individually banned, which, when using the Moderators will see the following extra buttons in the dashboard display of research notes: If you are a moderator, please subscribe to "All Research" on the subscriptions page, so that you receive emails of all new postings. You'll see "Spam" links below each when you get email notifications, which is the fastest way to catch spam: Moderators are also able to moderate on the page itself: Wiki page moderationAnyone can revert a wiki page or main image, but moderators can moderate specific revisions from wiki pages in the "like" dropdown (same as moderating research notes), as well as on the Revisions tab. Moderated revisions don't appear as the current revision of a wiki page, but aren't deleted, and can be republished by a moderator. They appear like this in the Revisions list: User banningUsers whose posts are spam are themselves banned and their profiles and other comments are hidden except to moderators and admins.

Moderated revisions don't appear as the current revision of a wiki page, but aren't deleted, and can be republished by a moderator. They appear like this in the Revisions list: User banningUsers whose posts are spam are themselves banned and their profiles and other comments are hidden except to moderators and admins. Moderators and admins can unban a user from their profile page. Comment moderationsComments can't be moderated, so they must be deleted. See feature request here for plans to fix this. Delayed postingAs of April 2016, first-time posters on PublicLab.org are moderated by default. |
