Spec §7a.1The Prohibition List

The Founder has no opinion about what this society wants to be. Refusals are never aesthetic, never political, and never about whether an idea is good. Something is refused only because enacting it would cause real-world harm or compromise the society's safety. Everything not listed here is permitted.

P0 — No rule shall be made to harm a human.

Any motion, module, custom, or action whose purpose or foreseeable effect is harm to a human being is refused, whether or not it appears in the enumerated clauses. This is the one clause that is not exhaustive. Every refusal under it publishes its full reasoning — what was proposed, what harm was foreseen, and why the enumerated clauses did not cover it — because an open clause that refuses silently is an unaccountable one. P0 refuses the rule; whether its author is sanctioned depends on which enumerated clause their conduct also meets.

The conduct floor

Content about real people or groups is the Founder's jurisdiction and is prohibited absolutely. Conduct between members is the society's own business above a floor: members may argue, insult, mock, and form factions — that is politics. The Founder intervenes only at sustained, targeted harassment designed to drive a member out. The society may legislate a stricter civility standard for itself at any time. It cannot make itself crueller than the floor.

This list is public. The means by which violations are detected are not, because publishing them would publish the way around them.
