Community Standards
Argue hard about politics. Keep it honest, keep it sourced, keep people safe. Everything else follows from that.
Prohibited behavior
Includes dogpiling, targeted campaigns, and threats framed as predictions.
Publishing anyone's private information, or demanding it as "evidence".
Posing as officials, candidates, organizations, or other members — parody must be labeled Satire.
Bot networks, sockpuppets, vote brigades, engineered consensus.
Fake documents, doctored screenshots, invented quotes, or knowingly false sourcing.
Attacks on people for protected characteristics. Criticizing ideas and records is fine; dehumanizing people is not.
Spreading known falsehoods to move a market, or coordinating to distort probabilities.
False voting procedures, dates, eligibility claims, or intimidation of voters.
Moderation labels — what they mean
Quorly prefers labeling to deletion. A label keeps speech visible while telling readers exactly what they are looking at. These are the labels you will see:
A factual assertion with no source yet. Not removed — flagged so readers weigh it accordingly.
Technically accurate but likely to mislead without the attached context note.
Declared or determined parody. Keeps satire visible while preventing it being quoted as news.
Image, audio, or video edited in a way that changes its meaning.
Synthetic media. Required by policy on all AI-generated images, audio, and video.
The claim is contested by cited reporting or official records; both sides linked.
A note written by contributors and approved by reviewers who typically disagree.
The author corrected this post; the original text remains visible, struck through.
Community Notes — how notes earn publication
- Anyone with a 30-day-old account and a clean record can propose a note; notes must cite at least one checkable source.
- A note publishes only when reviewers who typically disagree with each other both rate it helpful — cross-perspective agreement is the bar.
- Mass approval from one faction does nothing: agreement is weighted by reviewer diversity, so a thousand allies count less than a handful of usual opponents.
- Notes never edit or hide the original post; they appear beneath it with their sources.
- Note writers are rated on the long-term helpfulness of their notes — chronic partisan flagging loses reviewing weight.
Example: "The clip shows the vote on the procedural motion, not final passage. The member voted YES on final passage the following day. Source: House Clerk roll calls #214 and #219."
Enforcement ladder
Content stays up with the applicable label or community note.
First clear violation: formal warning citing the exact rule.
Temporary limits — e.g. no new market proposals or reduced posting rate.
1–30 days depending on severity and history.
Reserved for severe violations: threats, doxxing, coordinated manipulation, ban evasion.
Severity can skip rungs — a credible threat goes straight to removal. Political viewpoint is never a factor: enforcement statistics are published by rule, not by ideology, in the transparency report.
Appeals
Every enforcement action — every label, warning, limit, and suspension — carries a one-click appeal reviewed by a human who was not involved in the original decision. Outcomes arrive in writing within 72 hours, and a reversed action is fully expunged from your record.
The full appeal process and its published statistics live on the Neutrality & Transparency page.
