Viewpoint neutrality
WorkingPolicy does not endorse or oppose policies, candidates, parties, ballot measures, or ideological movements. Disagreement alone is not misconduct.

Moderate conduct, preserve reasons, and keep disagreement visible.

WorkingPolicy applies objective conduct rules rather than ideological tests and records material actions without silently altering published history.
Objective conduct rules
Rules address threats, harassment, privacy violations, impersonation, fraud, manipulation, access-control evasion, malware, infringement, unlawful activity, and materially disruptive conduct.
Proportionate response
High-risk or coordinated activity may be held before publication; trusted participation may receive retrospective review. Actions must be proportionate to the documented risk.
Reasons and records
Material actions cite a rule, preserve evidence, record actor and reason, and provide notice unless notice would create a security, legal, or safety risk.
Appeal
The ordinary appeal target is ten business days. Time-sensitive institutional cases target 24 to 72 hours where feasible, with independent review when staffing permits.
An appeal changes only through a recorded decision.
The case record preserves the original action, appeal, reviewer, outcome, and rationale.
