Off the Clock Docs

Running the community

Moderation

Off the Clock moderates mostly by who is in a space. Labels and policies handle the rest. The rules every member agrees to are in the Moderation Policy; this page is how admins carry them out.

Membership first

Draft outline

Everyone was invited; removing a grant removes access to a space. A record from someone who isn't a member is hidden everywhere.

Labels

Draft outline

Mark content nsfw or spoiler, or shadow it. See Labels.

Policies

Draft outline

Say what a space expects before anyone posts. See Space policies.

What admins can't do

Draft outline

Be honest: admins can't delete a member's record (it's in their account); they hide it with a label or remove the member.

Grounds for removal

Draft outline

Mirror the Moderation Policy §5: anything illegal, offensive, or hateful, or making others uncomfortable being themselves, means removal. There is no appeal at this time. A space's own policy adds to these, never replaces them.

A playbook

Draft outline

Short scenarios: a spoiler, an off-topic post, a harassing member, a compromised account.
