The Blueprint
The Rulebook

No moderators. Juries.

Nobody on this platform has the power to remove what a citizen says: not founders, not admins, nobody. Content comes down only when a randomly drawn panel of citizens votes to remove it under a rule written on this page. The rules themselves can be challenged through the Blueprint, like any other policy.

How it works

  1. An automated filter screens every submission for the clearest violations only. Anything it flags is hidden, not deleted, and goes straight to a jury.
  2. Any citizen can report content against a specific rule. Five reports from five different citizens hide it pending review. It never vanishes silently.
  3. A panel of citizens is drawn at random: never the submitter, never a reporter, never anyone who has served three times in the past month. Jurors see the content and the rule, not the author. Majority decides: keep, remove, or escalate to a fresh panel.
  4. Panels dissolve the moment a case is decided. Only the vote tally is kept, never who voted which way. There is no moderation team to join, anywhere in the system.
  5. One appeal per removal, decided by a completely fresh panel. No single person can override a jury, in either direction.

Disagree with a rule?

The rulebook is a Tier Two document. Propose a change on the Blueprint, argue your case, and if it crosses its threshold the rulebook gets a new version, the same process as changing tax policy.
