We would rather get "false alarms" than have Code of Conduct violations go unaddressed.
We would rather get "false alarms" than have Code of Conduct violations go unaddressed. If you believe someone is violating the Code of Conduct, please report them to the '''social.coop CWG Ops Team'''. Detailed instructions on how to report a user can be found in [https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#report Mastodon's reporting documentation].


If you think someone is violating the Code of Conduct, please report them to the social.coop moderators.
=== <span id="report">What happens after I make a report?</span> ===
You will receive an automated email acknowledging that we've received your report. We will work diligently to respond to your report within 24 hours. Please note that we are an international and asynchronous team, each living in different time zones.

==== '''Our priority is making sure everyone is safe. If necessary, we will:''' ====
* Delete, edit, or hide a problem post


Click "report @[user]".
* Privately tell the violator(s) to knock it off, delete/redact posts on Mastodon/Loomio/in Matrix chat, or apologize
* Publicly tell the violator(s) to knock it off, delete/redact, or apologize
* Mute or block the violator(s)


Or DM someone on the Community Moderation Team:  You can include screenshots, links, and any other context that will help us understand the situation.


'''What happens after I make a report?'''
In certain cases, we may delay an official response until we have dealt with the immediate situation. Once we have an understanding of the situation, we will proceed with a decision and contact you. We will take your feedback into account, but the action we take is our responsibility.


You will get an automated email acknowledging that we've received it. We will do our best to get back to you within 24 hours (understanding that people live in different time zones, have different schedules, etc.).


Our first priority is making sure everyone is safe. If necessary, we will:
'''Potential outcomes may include:'''
<code>Delete, edit, or hide a problem post
This may be proactive to deal with the item in order to not wait for the person to take care of it
or this may be necessary when the person will not voluntarily address the item
Privately tell the violator(s) to knock it off, delete/redact posts on Mastodon/Loomio/in Matrix chat, or apologize
Publicly tell the violator(s) to knock it off, delete/redact, or apologize
Mute or block the violator(s)</code>
We may delay an official response until we have dealt with the immediate situation.


Once we have an understanding of what's going on, we will make a decision and contact you. We will take your feedback into account, but the action we take is our responsibility. This might involve:
* Nothing (if we determine no violation occurred)
<code>Nothing (if we determine no violation occurred)
* A temporary ban
* A permanent ban
A temporary ban
* A request for a public or private apology
* A request to participate in mediation</code>
A permanent ban
 
 
A request for a public or private apology
We embrace the principles of restorative justice. We want to give people a chance to correct mistakes and learn from them. If you disagree with our final decision, you can appeal it here: < link to CMT >.

== What happens behind the scenes of a report? ==
[[File:Header of report page.png|thumb|none|Moderators see user and report details]]
When a report is Marked as Resolved, it goes into our database of closed reports, however a closed report can be reopened if needed.
[[File:Posts reported section.png|thumb|none|If there's specific posts reported, they show up]]
[[File:Moderator action choices.png|thumb|none|These are the actions available to moderators: Resolve, Delete, Limit, and Suspend]]
=== What do these actions mean? ===
==== Delete ====
If the user is a member of social.coop, the Delete function removes the specified posts from the Fediverse.
If the user is a member of another server, the Delete function makes the specified posts no longer visible to users on social.coop.
==== Limit ====
Limited accounts are only visible to social.coop accounts that already follow them or who look them up directly.
Limited accounts can still be transferred to other servers. Sometimes we will Limit accounts on social.coop rather than Suspend so that they can move their account.
==== Suspend ====
If the user is a member of social.coop, the Suspend function makes it so that they can't post or interact on Mastodon. Suspension is revertable within 30 days.
If the user is a member of another server, the Suspend function makes them no longer visible to users on social.coop. It appears that non-server members can be unsuspended at any time if the user still exists.
=== What's the Custom action? ===
==== Social.coop users ====
[[File:Same server custom moderations.png|none|thumb|Custom actions include: Warning, Freeze, Sensitive, Limit, Suspendand the ability to notify the use by email]]
==== Users from other servers ====
[[File:Mod actions other servers.png|none|thumb|Custom actions for members of other servers are only: Sensitive, Limit, and Suspend. As social.coop does not have access to other users emails we cannot email them about the action. ]]
