Tier 1: Internal Conduct
Draft
These are draft guidelines that have not been finalized, and are pending further community discussion.
This section governs the conduct of Fedecan team members.
Who does this apply to?
These guidelines apply to anyone who has elevated access. This does not include the average user or community-level moderators.
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Directors | The individuals who make up the Fedecan board, set organizational direction, and approve major policy decisions. |
| Officers | The individuals with operational authority to handle day-to-day organizational tasks, such as the treasurer and secretary. |
| Instance Admins | The individuals with site-level admin access, including platform admin panels and elevated site settings. They may also hold infrastructure access depending on their technical role. |
| Instance Moderators | The individuals with any form of admin level moderation capabilities. |
Expectations of Team Members
Team members must:
- Act in good faith. Do not use elevated access to settle personal disputes, gain personal benefit, or pressure other users.
- Respect user privacy. Access user data only when necessary for your role. Do not share or discuss user data outside of what the situation requires.
- Disclose conflicts. If you have a personal, financial, or professional relationship with someone involved in a moderation decision, step back and let another team member handle it.
- Discuss with team members and escalate when appropriate. Complex issues should be discussed with other team members before making decisions, especially with actions that are difficult to reverse.
Removal
Team members who violate these expectations or fail to fulfil their responsibilities may be removed from their role. After a concern is raised with the team or escalated to a higher authority, the team member may have their access revoked while they respond to the concerns raised.
