Moderation

These rules apply to every view alike (Rules of the Order, Rule 12). Criticism of the Order is always allowed.

What we remove

Rule	Means	Example
Threats	Saying you will harm someone, or urging others to	“Someone should hurt them.”
Harassment	Repeated unwanted contact, insults or abuse aimed at a person	Replying to every post someone makes with insults
Private information	Publishing someone’s address, phone number, workplace or identity without consent	Posting a guess at who a steward is
Spam and scams	Repetitive, off-topic or deceptive posts, or attempts to take money or data	“DM me to claim your Order membership reward”
Unlawful content	Content that is illegal where it is posted
Impersonation	Pretending to be the Order, a steward, or another person	An account named “Next Earth Order Official” that isn’t ours

What we do not remove

Criticism, disagreement, unwelcome opinions, clearly labeled parody, and discussion in groups the Order does not run.

If we remove something of yours

We tell you what we did and which rule it broke. You may appeal within thirty days of being told. A person who did not make the original decision decides your appeal within thirty days. If you are right, we restore what we removed or correct the record. Every removal is logged.

AI in moderation

AI may help us sort comments and flag what might break these rules. It never makes the final decision on an appeal, and a person checks a sample of what it set aside every month.
