SYN-032

No labels, no call-outs, no accusations

The community focuses on the situation and the behaviour, never on labelling the individual. There are no accusations and no labels — that is the courts' realm; the goal here is simply to be safe and lekker. Call-outs must not become public bullying, the aim is creating safety rather than predator-hunting, and spreading misinformation about a person — whether maliciously or carelessly — is defamation and will be prevented and addressed.

Deliberately left open — CF-002 — this stance is exactly what the tool's specified emergency broadcast of an accused's identity strains against (OD-002/OD-003 open; Stage 2 evidence pending). Moderation of anonymous comments that name people: OD-005/OD-006.
