Trust & Safety
How we handle vote integrity, conduct, and reports on VoteChain.
Safety for people and integrity for ballots
VoteChain sits in the middle of two things that matter: how members treat each other, and whether decisions backed by a vote can be taken seriously. We treat both as operational concerns — not a marketing slogan.
Communities run topics and ballots under their own rules where applicable; we step in when behaviour or misuse breaks platform rules, puts people at risk, or undermines trust in the voting process.
What to send us
The abuse form is the right place when something on VoteChain harms someone or looks like misuse. Examples:
- Harassment, threats, or targeted abuse in a community or around a ballot
- Impersonation of a person or organization running a vote
- Spam, phishing, or unsolicited bulk invites
- Coordinated attempts to skew results, misuse access, or interfere with a topic
Include the community or topic name, approximate time, and screenshots or links if you have them — it speeds up review.
After you report
- 1We triage by severity and safety risk, then review account and community context where needed.
- 2Outcomes can include warnings, content or access restrictions, or account action. We cannot promise a specific result for every report.
- 3For security vulnerabilities (not interpersonal abuse), use the channel on our Security page instead of the abuse form.
