Our Moderation Philosophy
At Bernie News Network, we believe in fostering open, respectful dialogue. Our approach to moderation is community-driven, emphasizing self-regulation and collective decision-making. We trust our community members to engage responsibly and contribute to a positive environment.
Key aspects of our moderation approach:
Community Self-Regulation
We encourage members to address minor issues through respectful dialogue and mutual understanding.
Minimal Intervention
Moderators will only remove content that clearly violates community standards (e.g., spam, illegal content) without requiring a vote.
Community Voting
Significant moderation actions require 80% agreement from participating members in a community vote.
Transparency
Any moderation actions will be clearly communicated, and we welcome community feedback.
Regular Review
We periodically reassess our guidelines with community input to ensure they continue to serve our members effectively.
