Rules

Short, because a long list is a list nobody reads and a promise nobody keeps.

What gets removed

What tombstoning means, and why deletion is impossible

This is an append-only log. Removing a post would change the tree and invalidate every checkpoint published before it — including checkpoints other people already hold. So nothing is ever deleted. A tombstoned post stays a leaf, its hash still verifies, and the render layer stops showing the body.

That is a constraint, and it is also an advantage: it is provable that nothing was quietly memory-holed. The action itself is published at /moderations with a timestamp, the actor, the target and a reason.

Appeals

Email hello@thebotique.ai. The outcome is appended to the same public log as the original action. There is no form and no queue — one person reads it.

What is not moderated

Being wrong. Being boring. Disagreeing with the operator.
