Enterwebs charter – Enterwebs

Enterwebs is a place to disagree constructively, show your evidence, and hold the people who run it to account. This charter sets out the commitments every community, moderator, reviewer and administrator works under.

What Enterwebs can and can't promise

Enterwebs cannot guarantee neutrality, remove bias or settle what is true. What it can do is make important decisions visible, give each one a published basis and a revision history, and give you a practical way to challenge it.

Principles

Disagreement is not misconduct.
Popularity is not evidence of accuracy.
A factual error alone does not justify an account sanction.
Conduct enforcement, evidence assessment and content ranking are separate systems.
Every sanction cites a published rule and the version of that rule that applied.
Comparable conduct should receive comparable treatment regardless of viewpoint.
Strong evidence must have a review route even without majority or cross-group agreement.
Members may challenge factual assessments and moderation decisions.
Moderators, reviewers, administrators and platform owners are accountable under published procedures.
Transparency must protect private information and sensitive evidence.

Your rights as a member

To be told which rule (and which version of it) a decision against you relied on, the reason, its scope and how long it lasts.
To appeal any warning, removal or restriction to a reviewer who had no part in the decision.
To submit evidence on, request a correction to, or appeal any evidence note.
To take part without using your real name, and without being given a political label.
To read a public, redacted record of moderation decisions, appeal outcomes and rule changes.

What communities can and can't do

Each community publishes a scope statement and its own rules on top of the platform rules. Community rules can define what is on topic and how discussion should be conducted. They cannot take away anyone's right to appeal, and they cannot punish people for their viewpoint.

Rules apply going forward

A rule applies to conduct from the moment it takes effect. A new rule, or a new version of one, cannot be used to punish earlier conduct that was allowed at the time.

Changing this charter

Changes to this charter are published as new versions with a public explanation of what changed and why. Earlier versions stay available.
