How publishing and review work

Publishing states

Posts may move through draft, pending, under review, published, or removed states. Not every submission goes live immediately.

Manual review

Authorized review and moderation staff can inspect submissions, request changes, publish, restrict, or remove posts when needed.

Core quality expectations

• Headlines and summaries should match the underlying post.
• Posts should aim for original reporting, firsthand explanation, or clear analysis.
• Users should not upload material they do not have the right to publish.
• Manipulative framing, spam, and deceptive engagement tactics are not acceptable.

Bylines and sources

Posts should carry public bylines and usable source context. Anonymous churn and source-free filler do not belong in prominent news surfaces.

Moderation and disputes

Reader reports, internal review, legal notices, or editorial concerns may trigger status changes, restrictions, or removals. The discussion and report flows are described in more detail on Community Guidelines and Notice & Action.
