Governance & Moderation Architecture

Moderator Approval & Superuser Management

Public safety and discourse quality are maintained through a two-tiered moderation system:

  • Mandatory Poll Approval: New polls enter PENDING_APPROVAL status until explicitly approved by the assigned District Moderator or Superuser.
  • Superuser Admin (iamnarendra@gmail.com): Manages moderator email assignments for all 435 U.S. districts, inspects audit logs, and acts as fallback moderator.
