Moderation of content can happen on Public Lab email discussion lists or research notes, wiki page revisions, or comments, and users may even be asked to leave a list or banned due to violations. WhyModeration is necessary for several reasons: content may be advertising spam, automated or not, or it may violate our content guidelines. Content guidelinesPlease treat our community website and mailing lists as a place of respectful conversation and civility. These guidelines are an initial draft; they may change based on the planned adoption of a code of conduct. When posting to Public Lab lists, please: Stay on topic
Use clear subject lines when starting a new topic
Mind your tone
Code of conductWe hope to soon adopt a Code of Conduct as have many other open communities have, and to base our content guidelines on that document. References:
How to appealHas a post, comment, or email of yours been put in moderation, or have you been banned and you don't think you should have been? Email the moderators group (read more below) at moderators@publiclab.org. Moderators groupThe moderators group is a discussion list including all moderators, who are Public Lab community members, where moderation decisions can be discussed if there's uncertainty. Contact the group by emailing moderators@publiclab.org. Moderators can access the group here: https://groups.google.com/group/publiclab-moderators For reasons of privacy, the moderators group archives are only readable by moderators. This ensures that the moderators can discuss questionable, private, or sensitive content to make decisions about moderation. Individual moderators may act to moderate any inappropriate content based on the content guidelines above. Any ambiguous case can be brought up by any community member by emailing the moderators group for input, including by the moderated party. Become a moderatorThe moderators group is open to anyone in our community. To join, please email moderators@publiclab.org with a link to your profile. Moderation systemsModeration can happen through different systems in the Public Lab community. Here's a brief overview. Discussion listsPublic Lab hosts many different topical and regional discussion lists, currently using Google Groups. Moderators review the first posts of all new members before approving them to post automatically. Community members may be placed in moderation if their posting pattern changes such that it violates our content guidelines. Before being placed in moderation, a member will be notified on the relevent list. There are different moderators for each group, but the Community Development team (@liz and @stevie) are moderators on every one, and are also in the moderators group. Moderators on these lists are not the same as moderators on the PublicLab.org site -- read on! PublicLab.org moderatorsUsers on PublicLab.org can be marked with the role "moderator" or "admin", which gives them the ability to ban posts and users. Other users can undo these actions. Admins can actually permanently delete content. Links to these types are coming soon, at the addresses: Research note moderationResearch notes can be individually banned, which, when using the Moderators will see the following extra buttons in the dashboard display of research notes:
If you are a moderator, please subscribe to "All Research" on the subscriptions page, so that you receive emails of all new postings. You'll see "Spam" links below each when you get email notifications, which is the fastest way to catch spam:
Moderators are also able to moderate on the page itself:
Wiki page moderationAnyone can revert a wiki page or main image, but moderators can moderate specific revisions from wiki pages in the "like" dropdown (same as moderating research notes), as well as on the Revisions tab. Moderated revisions don't appear as the current revision of a wiki page, but aren't deleted, and can be republished by a moderator. They appear like this in the Revisions list:
User banningUsers whose posts are spam are themselves banned and their profiles and other comments are hidden except to moderators and admins. You can unban a user from their profile page. Comment moderationsComments can't be moderated, so they must be deleted. See feature request here for plans to fix this. Delayed postingNot implemented, but under discussion, is the possibility that first-time posters on PublicLab.org might be moderated by default, or that posts might be held for 30 minutes for screening. More on this soon. |

Our lists have moderators to ensure civility. Moderators review the posts of all new members before approving them to post automatically. Some existing members may be placed into moderation if their posting pattern changes such that it violates our list guidelines (see below): When posting to Public Lab lists:
- stay on topic to make long threads easier to follow - if you diverge from the main thread/topic/subject, consider breaking off into a new thread/topic/subject to help others follow along - avoid sending one-line spurious responses that effectively "spam" hundreds of people and lowers the overall content quality of a conversation 2. Mind your tone - since we are in a conversation in email form, maintaining a tone of respect is essential. Any of the following can result in a member having their posts moderated before going out to the whole list: aggressive tone, disrespectful tone, mocking tone, off-color tone - a note on humor: expressing ourselves online in text is different from expressing ourselves in person by talking Before you are placed into moderation, you will be notified on the pertinent list.
