Conduct, Moderation and Reporting

Last updated: August 21, 2026

A publicly browsable forum makes a particular demand: everything written is read by people who never joined, including people encountering the Universe for the first time. That raises the stakes on tone in a way a closed community does not experience, and it is the main reason conduct is worth stating rather than assumed.

What good participation looks like

Argue the claim rather than the person. Cite sources when asserting something canonical, and say so when you are theorising. Let settled questions stay settled unless you have new material. And extend patience to newcomers asking questions the chamber has answered before — the archive is large and finding things in it is a skill.

What does not belong here

Support requests, which belong to the vertical that owns the problem. Governance arguments, which belong to the City Council. Personal disputes, harassment, and anything targeting an individual. And credential requests of any kind — nobody in a forum has a legitimate reason to ask for yours.

Reporting

Use the forum's own reporting mechanisms for content problems, and the project's official contact channels for anything that needs the publisher rather than a moderator. Report rather than escalate in-thread: a public argument about whether something was acceptable rarely improves the situation.

Treat any forum message asking you to sign in via a link, verify a wallet, or share a recovery phrase as an attack. Forums are where these approaches are most often made and most often work.
