r/ModerationTheory is a subreddit for the discussion of moderation, moderation policies, moderation case studies, and general moderation philosophies on reddit.

We welcome both general discussions and questions, and tactful references to specific subreddit moderation policies and moderation tools.

This is a space for assuming and exerting good faith towards and on behalf of everyone on reddit. Discussions take place under the assumption that moderators make internal compromise and are the only users privy to all information concerning specific moderation decisions in the subreddits they moderate. As onlookers we may respectfully disagree with that in mind.

r/ModerationTheory is a largely self-moderated space where civil, on-topic discussion using friendly and respectful language is expected of all participants.

Moderators may step in if needed, such as in cases of insults or assuming bad faith.
