<p>In accordance with our commitment to open operations, we will make available
as much information as we can about our policies, our operating procedures, and
the steps we take to enforce our policies.</p>

<p>We believe in providing our users with the maximum amount of free expression
as permitted by United States law, with the exceptions of actions we choose to
take to protect the health of the service (such as by removing spam) and actions
we choose to take to safeguard the privacy and safety of others.</p>

<p>We know that any conflict between two people has the potential to become
heated, and that once a conflict becomes heated, it is often very difficult for
us to determine what the best and most ethical course of action should be. We
are committed to upholding our
<a href='https://www.dreamwidth.org/legal/principles'>Guiding Principles</a>,
and we will work with you to determine the best course of action in any given
situation.</p>

<p>We will provide as much information about our policies and their enforcement
as we can while still respecting the privacy of our users. While this means
that we will never release details about a specific conflict without the
express permission of all parties involved, we are always willing to answer
general questions about our policies.</p>
