Governance & Moderation

How decisions are made — who decides what, how conflicts are handled, and how enforcement works. In one place, in plain language.

How PLAIT Is Governed

PLAIT is stewarded, not crowd-ruled. Clarity over consensus — and boundaries that don't move with volume.

Core Team: holds the Canon, the PLAIT Framework, and final product decisions
Pod Leaders: hold the culture and standards inside their Pods
Members: hold their own PLAITs, their visibility, and their participation

Partner funding is separated from governance: partners and sponsors do not get votes or special treatment. Decision-making detail →

Moderation is human, contextual, and accountable — there is no algorithmic enforcement.

Reports are reviewed by a person, in context, according to urgency and available information — safety-related reports receive priority
The PLAIT Code of Participation — not engagement math — is the standard applied
Pod Leaders address issues inside their Pods first; the Core Team handles escalations

Enforcement is graduated and every decision can be appealed:

Warning → Temporary restriction → Pod removal → Prosper suspension → Account termination
Every decision can be appealed and is reviewed carefully by the team
