Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior can be reported by contacting the administrator (either by using the official report feature or via mail to lea et lea.lgbt, replace et with @).

Violating the rules can get you banned from the instance. You will get a warning first unless there are evil intentions.

Additionally it is important to note that also the admin itself (me) is not safe from enforcement, although she is committed to behave well and to follow the rules.

Please report any behaviour that bothers you. Any report is kept confidential.
