Moons Update

Hey everyone,

For full transparency, we want to share some news with the community.

Reddit admins have banned two of our moderators and informed us that we are not permitted to take moderator actions on behalf of advertisers in exchange for compensation (Moon burns).

Rule 5 of the Moderator Code of Conduct prohibits mods from taking moderation actions (including actions taken using mod tools, bots, and other services) in exchange for any form of compensation, consideration, gift, or favor from or on behalf of third parties. You can read more about Rule 5 here: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/27031261124884-Moderator-Code-of-Conduct-Rule-5-Moderate-with-Integrity

Our Response

We are actively appealing this decision. Our position is clear: Moons are burned, not given to moderators. The mechanism in question does not compensate mods, it removes tokens from circulation entirely. We believe this distinction is critical and are working to communicate this to the admins. We'll update the community as the appeal progresses.

In the meantime, we're fully complying with the policy. There are currently no paid or planned events coming up that would conflict with this.

What This Means Going Forward

Regardless of the outcome, Moons will continue to serve their core purposes:

• Distribution — Monthly rewards based on karma
• Governance — Your voice in community decisions
• Tipping — Rewarding quality contributions
• Reputation — Recognizing engaged community members
• Discord — Moons are not restricted on our Discord server

Questions?

We know this raises concerns. Drop your questions below and we'll answer what we can. We're committed to transparency throughout this process.

Thanks for your continued support of this community.
