Discussion Moderation
How the community stays safe and supportive

Our community is self-moderated. Pro members who create discussions are responsible for monitoring their threads and ensuring they comply with community guidelines.

Discussion Owner Responsibilities

  • Monitor your discussions for off-topic or inappropriate content
  • You have the authority to delete any posts that violate community policies
  • As a courtesy, we recommend messaging the post author to explain why their post was deleted
  • Administrators are available to provide support for complex moderation issues

Policy Enforcement

Essential Protocols reserves the right to review any content and take action if community rules are violated. This may include temporary or permanent suspension of community privileges.

Discussion Archiving
How older discussions are preserved

To keep the main community board fresh and focused on active discussions, older threads may be archived. Archived discussions remain visible and searchable, but no new replies can be added.

When Discussions Are Archived

  • Inactivity: Discussions with no activity for 3 months may be eligible for archiving
  • Saturation: Discussions with over 100 replies on older topics may be archived to maintain performance
  • Owner request: Discussion creators can choose to archive their own threads

Accessing Archived Discussions

Archived discussions can be found in the "Archived" tab on the community board. They remain fully visible and searchable, allowing you to reference past conversations. A banner at the top of archived discussions indicates they are closed to new replies and suggests opening a new discussion for current questions.

Discussion owners and administrators can restore archived discussions if needed by using the "Unarchive" option.
