Community Moderation Policy Skill

A moderation policy fails when it's vague ("be respectful") or applied inconsistently — members can't predict what's allowed, and mods burn out making judgment calls with no backing. This skill writes a policy that is enforceable: concrete rules with examples, a ladder that matches consequence to behavior, and the process that makes enforcement feel fair even to the person on the receiving end.

Working from a brief

Given the community (platform, size, purpose, audience), write the full policy — tune severity and tone to the space (a professional Slack ≠ a gaming Discord). Keep the public-facing rules short and human; put the operational detail in the moderator guidelines.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not provided, else infer and label the assumption):

• The community — platform, rough size, purpose, and audience norms
• The values / what "good" looks like here, and the behaviors you most want to prevent
• Team — how many moderators, volunteer or staff, tools available
• Legal/brand constraints — platform ToS, regulated topics, company brand line
