The Reintegration Program is a conditional process that may allow certain previously suspended or banned members to return to the community under strict oversight - if eligible.

Its purpose is to balance accountability with community safety by evaluating a returning member’s current behavior, demonstrated accountability for their actions, and ability to follow community standards - not simply past conduct alone.

Reintegration, where granted, is time-limited and subject to clearly defined rules, tighter restrictions, and monitoring. Participation does not guarantee continued access; any violation of reintegration conditions or recurrence of prior behaviors may result in immediate disciplinary action, up to and including permanent removal.

Reintegration is not available in all cases and is implemented cautiously to prioritize the stability, safety, and trust of the community.

Staff will be monitoring these members closely and giving them a framework to follow for proper reintegration. These will involve certain restrictions and will be tailored for each eligible member. Some examples may include restricted access to certain boards, types of threads (AW, PRP, PRP 18+, etc), limited Discord access, and/or limited site access.

• Accountabililty with the understanding of impact
• Respect for boundaries and authority
• Time and Distance
• Willingness to accept the consequences and the restrictions upon their return
• Cooperates willingly with safeguards

Eligibility does not mean immediate approval into the program, but a consideration for it.

Staff members with close personal relationships or prior conflicts with a returning member will recuse themselves from eligibility and reinstatement decisions.

Offenses that will never be allowed back:

• Sexual exploitation, grooming, or predatory behavior
• Doxxing, credible threats, or targeted harassment campaigns
• Patterned, deliberate, and persistent hate speech, slurs, or identity-based abuse
• Scamming, fraud, or deliberate financial exploitation
• Repeated boundary violations after intervention
• Patterned abusive behavior across multiple communities

Members who were directly impacted by a previously suspended or banned individual’s past conduct may submit an appeal to staff regarding a proposed reintegration. Appeals should focus on relevant, current concerns, including evidence that the individual has not demonstrated accountability, behavioral change, or poses a material risk to the community.

While the impact of past harm is recognized, appeals based solely on residual discomfort, without indications of current concerning behavior or risk, will not solely determine staff decisions. Appeals are reviewed privately, and all final determinations rest with staff.

Appeals must be submitted within two weeks (14 days) of notification.

1. Right to Appeal

When a previously banned member is considered for reinstatement, community members who were directly impacted by the individual’s past behavior may submit an appeal to staff outlining concerns regarding the reinstatement.

To start an appeal, you may use the Ticket system via Discord or directly message the Admin account on-site.

2. Scope of Appeals

Appeals must be grounded in specific, current, and reasonable concerns, and will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Evidence that the returning member has not demonstrated sustained behavioral change, accountability, or adherence to community expectations since their ban
• Credible indications that reinstatement poses a material risk to community safety, stability, or trust
• Patterns of behavior - recent or ongoing - that mirror or meaningfully relate to the conduct that led to the original ban
3. Limitations of Appeals

Appeals will not be upheld solely on the basis of:

• Objections based primarily on past harm or personal discomfort, when no current pattern of harmful behavior has been demonstrated
• Objections rooted exclusively in past actions without evidence that those behaviors are continuing or likely to recur
• General opposition to second chances, rehabilitation, or staff-led reintegration processes

While residual feelings from past harm may understandably cause ongoing discomfort, appeals based primarily on such feelings - when not accompanied by evidence of current concerning behavior - will be considered, but will not solely determine staff decisions.

4. Evaluation Standard

Staff will weigh appeals by balancing:

• The returning member’s demonstrated accountability, growth, and current conduct
• The severity and context of their prior actions
• The credibility and relevance of concerns raised by impacted members

The appeals process is not intended to invalidate past harm, but to ensure decisions are made based on present behavior and future risk, rather than unresolved emotional conflict alone.

Staff may also impose additional safeguards or conditions if warranted by the appeal.

5. Final Authority

All reinstatement and appeal decisions rest with staff. Decisions will prioritize the long-term health of the community while recognizing that meaningful change is possible and may warrant conditional reintegration.
