What helpers can do
Helpers and moderators can monitor shared spaces and use only the tools granted to their role. Their access should stay narrow, visible, and removable.
Community participation
Watching, reading, and following public work should not require an account. When people choose to participate, these shared expectations keep the website, streams, and connected communities usable.
This is the working public policy. Its wording can be clarified as the community grows, but changes should not quietly rewrite how earlier situations were judged.
The short version
Across the platform
These apply to chat, profiles, display names, linked accounts, overlays, website interactions, and money-adjacent features. Context matters, but the basic boundaries should not depend on the surface.
No harassment, threats, hate, targeted insults, encouragement of self-harm, or attempts to make someone feel unsafe.
No spam, raids, repeated disruption, impersonation, or deliberate attempts to derail streams, chats, overlays, or community tools.
No offensive names or avatars, malicious account linking, fake claims, or impersonation of Michael, helpers, platforms, sponsors, or other viewers.
No fake donation claims, chargeback abuse, fraud attempts, or pressure around private support. Money never buys permission to harm others.
No doxxing, credential sharing, posting private messages, or attempts to expose hidden account, moderation, or administration data.
Serious threats, stalking, fraud, exploitation, or other severe abuse may be reported to the relevant platform or authorities.
Normal moderation path
The response should fit the situation. A note is not a punishment, a warning should explain what needs to change, and restrictions should protect a shared space without becoming an automatic permanent decision.
Internal context for reviewers, with no automatic penalty.
A human-reviewed explanation of what crossed the line and what needs to change.
A reviewed response to repeated or serious behaviour, tied to a rule and supporting context.
A temporary mute, visibility hold, or access limit when a shared space needs protection.
Reserved for severe or repeated abuse after review, except when immediate safety requires urgent action.
Three active strikes trigger owner review, not an automatic ban. Severe safety incidents can still require an immediate temporary response while the facts are reviewed.
Accountability goes both ways
Accounts can be hacked, context can be missed, and another person may have used someone's device. Warnings, strikes, and restrictions should retain enough context for a later review.

Permanent bans, serious appeals, role authority, private account access, secrets, and money decisions stay with Michael unless a reviewed permission explicitly delegates them.
Account-visible warnings and strikes, appeals, offensive-name handling, and consistent enforcement across every connected provider are not complete yet. The public rules do not pretend those systems are finished.
