Moderation & trust
How moderation works at ArchipelagoExpat. Every sensitive change passes through an audited queue: who, what, when. Nothing is silently deleted.
How moderation works
Submissions reviewed before publishing
Every guide, article or listing goes through a moderation queue. Nothing is published instantly.
Guide edits are audited
Revisions to existing guides are recorded with author, date and reason. They can be reverted.
Promotional content reverted
Edits that promote paid services inside guides are reverted and flagged.
Community reports
Any user can report an issue. Moderators review every report.
