A public promise

The Right
to Mod charter.

Creative freedom survives when platforms make principled commitments before controversy arrives. This is our starting constitution for creators, players, and moderators.

Draft 1.0Public reviewLast updated July 2026
We begin with freedom.

Freedom to Mod hosts lawful creative work by default. We intervene when content harms people, violates rights, compromises devices, or breaks clearly published rules. Restrictions should be narrow, explainable, and open to challenge.

01

Create

You may make and discuss lawful transformative work, including parody, criticism, accessibility tools, restoration, and radical experimentation.

02

Publish

Qualifying mods are judged by published rules—not popularity, private influence, or whether moderators personally like the idea.

03

Be credited

Your name, permissions, original page, and version history should travel with your work.

04

Know why

If content is restricted, you receive the rule, evidence category, action taken, and a path to respond.

05

Appeal

A different reviewer examines timely appeals. Reversals and material policy changes are recorded publicly.

06

Leave

You can remove your original files and export your listing data, subject to lawful preservation and dispute obligations.

The necessary line

Freedom is not impunity.

We do not protect malware, credible threats, targeted harassment, non-consensual sexual content, child sexual abuse material, doxxing, fraud, or files that unlawfully appropriate another creator’s work. Enforcement targets the specific harm and uses the least restrictive effective response.
