Content moderation

Some content is refused automatically. When you publish an argument, its text is checked against a narrow set of categories — sexual content, content involving minors, graphic violence, instructions or intent to self-harm, and illicit activity — and publishing is refused if it matches. Your draft is left exactly as it was; nothing is deleted and nothing is made public.

That automatic check is deliberately narrow, and it is not the whole of moderation. It does not decide whether an argument is disagreeable, unpopular, or wrong — Proposit exists for people to disagree in public, and a controversial position is not a violation. Everything else is handled by people, after a report. Our Community Guidelines are the full statement of what is and is not allowed.

Appeal a decision

Automated checks get things wrong. If yours was refused and you believe it should not have been, email support@proposit.app with the subject “Content moderation appeal”. A person reads every one.

So we can find the decision, please include:

• The username or email address your account uses.
• Roughly when the refusal happened — the date, and the time of day if you have it.
• What content was refused: the title of the argument, and the wording you think triggered it.

If you would rather ask a general question first, the support page lists every way to reach us.
