What you can and can't post on Xerish

The standard

Every post on Xerish must:

1. Reflect real work. A post about something you''re not actually doing is fabrication and grounds for removal.
2. State honest impact. Unit costs and unit counts must be defensible (see launchpad/impact-methodology).
3. Preserve dignity. Photos and language must respect the people you serve. Suffering-as-spectacle is not acceptable.
4. Match your Organization''s F.I.G.S. alignment. Posts that drift outside the doctrine your Organization was verified under will be flagged.

Specific prohibitions

• No fabricated stories. Composite stories are acceptable if labeled as such; invented details are not.
• No images of minors without guardian consent. Default to consent in writing.
• No exploitative imagery. Photos that strip dignity from the subject (graphic suffering, captures of crisis without consent) will be removed.
• No medical or legal advice. A post that tells Givers what to do medically or legally is out of bounds for the platform.
• No partisan political content. Xerish hosts work across political lines and does not host partisan messaging.
• No solicitation of off-platform Gifts. A post that asks Givers to Give outside Xerish defeats the platform''s ability to track impact and protect Givers.
• No misleading impact claims. "$1 = one meal" had better be backed by real numbers, or the methodology note had better explain the model honestly.

What happens on violation

• First violation: the post is removed and you receive a note explaining why. Your Organization status is unchanged.
• Pattern of violations: F.I.G.S. status moves to needs-more-info. The review team reaches out.
• Severe violation (fraud, dignity, safety): the post is removed immediately and your Organization may be suspended pending review.

Reporting

Givers can report a post they believe violates the policy. Reports go to the abuse@xerish.com queue and are triaged within 4 business hours.

Doctrine

This policy follows CONSTITUTION §IV (F.I.G.S. binary standard). It is enforced by Xerish admin, not by an automated content moderation system. Real humans review every flagged post.
