Talkative Turtles

An independent community exploring technology, science, and the world.

Moderation & Trust

Talkative Turtles is moderated by people, not algorithms.

Moderation exists to:

  • Keep discussions readable and constructive
  • Reduce spam, abuse, and noise
  • Protect the long-term health of the community

How moderation works

  • Context matters more than keywords
  • Disagreement is allowed; abuse is not
  • Actions are taken to de-escalate, not to punish
  • Repeated behavior matters more than single mistakes

Transparency

We don’t claim to be perfectly neutral or infallible. We aim to be fair, consistent, and open to reconsideration.

If you believe a moderation action was incorrect, you may contact us and explain your position calmly. We will review it in good faith.

Trust is built slowly. We intend to earn it.
