1. Receipt: Report is logged and acknowledged.
2. Initial Review: Assessed against our policies — within 3 business days for standard violations, 24 hours for severe violations (threats, CSAM, self-harm).
3. Investigation: We review the reported content, user history, and context.
4. Decision: We determine whether a violation occurred and what action to take.
5. Notification: Where appropriate, we notify the reporting user of the outcome.

We consider context when reviewing reports. Content that appears problematic in isolation may be acceptable in context, and vice versa. We consider the full history of interactions, not just isolated incidents.

Applied for second or third non-severe violations, suspicious activity during investigation, or to prevent harm during an ongoing review. Your account and data are preserved during suspension.

Applied for:

• Severe violations (threats, CSAM, fraud, doxxing).
• Systematic or repeated violations across multiple policy areas.
• Circumventing a previous suspension (creating a new account while banned).
• Coordinated inauthentic behavior at scale.

When we suspend or ban an account, we will email the registered address explaining the action taken, the general reason, whether it is temporary or permanent, and how to appeal.

1. Email hi@risenet.io with subject line "Moderation Appeal."
2. Include your username, the action taken, and why you believe it was incorrect.
3. Provide any context or evidence supporting your appeal.

Appeals are reviewed by a different moderator than the one who made the original decision. We respond within 10 business days. Outcomes include: upholding the decision, reversing it, or modifying the enforcement action. Our appeal decision is final.
