Moderation on Connect is designed to protect users, promote respectful interaction, and maintain a clean, curated, and abuse-free digital environment.
We don’t rely on automated censorship or opaque algorithms. Instead, we apply a layered moderation system that combines:
Community Rules, clearly written and accessible to all users
Manual reports by users who can flag inappropriate content or behaviour
Human moderation, conducted by trained, independent moderators
Graduated response, meaning each case is reviewed and actions are proportional
Connect is not an open battlefield. It’s a space for dialogue, creativity, and human connection — and our moderation system reflects that.
If you break the rules:
You’ll receive a warning, temporary restriction, or — in repeated or serious cases — permanent suspension. All actions are recorded and can be appealed.
If you feel you’ve been treated unfairly:
You can submit an appeal via the report system or contact support. Every user has the right to defend their position.
Key principles:
Clear, public rules
Human oversight, not AI-based censorship
Appeals process for transparency
Zero tolerance for hate speech, harassment, impersonation, or fraud
