    9. Content Moderation

    9.1 How We Moderate

    Content moderation is performed through:

    • User reports: Any user can report content they believe violates these guidelines
    • Admin review: Reported content is reviewed by our moderation team
    • Proactive monitoring: We may use automated tools to detect obvious violations (spam, known illegal content), subject to human review before action

    9.2 Actions We May Take

    Depending on the severity and frequency of violations:

    • Warning: Notification that content violates guidelines
    • Content removal: Specific content removed with a statement of reasons
    • Temporary restriction: Limited access to certain features for a specified period
    • Account suspension: Temporary inability to use the account
    • Account termination: Permanent removal from the platform

    9.3 Appeals

    If you believe a moderation decision was made in error, you may appeal through our internal complaint-handling system by emailing info@castellum-forge.net within 6 months of the decision. Appeals are reviewed by a different member of the team than the one who made the original decision. Decisions on appeals are not solely made by automated means.

    10. Reporting Illegal Content

    In accordance with the Digital Services Act (EU) 2022/2065, Article 16, anyone (not just registered users) may report content they consider illegal through:

    When submitting a report, please include: a description of why the content is illegal, the URL or location of the content, and your contact information. We will acknowledge receipt and process reports in a timely, diligent, and non-arbitrary manner.
