Content Policy

+## Minds Content Policy
+
+The goal of Minds is to have fair, transparent and ethical moderation practices based on United States law and the Santa Clara Principles. 
+
+The current moderation system functions as follows:
+
+**Minds Jury System**
+
+A Minds Jury consists of 12 randomly selected unique active users who are not subscribed to the user under review. Each juror selected is provided with the option to participate, pass or opt-out entirely. 
+
+If 75% or more of the jury members vote to accept the appeal, the administrative action is overturned. If less than 75% of the jury members vote accept the appeal, the administrative action is upheld. 
+
+**Strike Offense**
+
+Users will receive a strike for certain violations of the Content Policy. Users will be notified about the strike, which term was violated, and which piece of content was in violation. All strikes can be appealed to a Minds Jury. Individual strikes will expire after 90 days. 
+
+The following violations will result in a strike:
+
+Untagged NSFW Post (three strikes required for each individual NSFW category)
+
+Strike 1 = Warning
+Strike 2 = 2nd Warning
+Strike 3 = Full channel marked with NSFW category
+
+Harassment, Spam
+
+Strike 1 = Warning
+Strike 2 = 2nd Warning
+Strike 3 = Ban
+
+NSFW (not safe for work) is defined as content containing nudity, pornography, profanity, violence, gore, or sensitive commentary on race, religion, or gender. In general terms, it is defined as content which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing, in a public setting, such as in a workplace. These tags can be applied to individual content or any group or channel.
+
+Spam on Minds is generally defined as repeated, unwanted, and/or unsolicited actions, automated or manual, that negatively affect Minds users, groups, and/or Minds itself; Phishing and spoofing attempts, or content intended to mislead, is also defined as spam. Spam may result in an immediate ban if determined to be malicious or by use of a bot.
+
+**Immediate Ban Offense**
+
+Users will be immediately banned for certain violations of the Content Policy. Users will be notified about the ban and which term was violated, but they will not be able to see the content that was in violation as it will have been removed from Minds. Appeals on immediate bans will be reviewed by the Minds admins and not a jury due to the nature of the content.
+
+* Illegal (terrorism, child pornography, pedophilia, extortion, fraud, revenge porn, sex trafficking)
+* Personal and confidential information (doxxing)
+* Malware
+* Token manipulation 
+* Impersonation
+* Incites a true threat of violence
+
+**Boost Policy**
+
+Boost is the advertising network on Minds. Users may exchange Minds Tokens to “Boost” their content and receive views from the network. All boosted content is manually reviewed by Minds admins. Users may not Boost any content that is in violation of our Content Policy. Additionally, users may not Boost content that: 
+
+* Appeals on a moderation decision;
+* Exceeds Boost rate limits;
+* Is a Help & Support request; 
+* Is selling Minds Tokens;
+* Contains content from a banned user;
+* Onchain payment failed; or
+* Original post has been removed.
+
+If you would like to appeal a Boost rejection, you may do so by emailing info@minds.com with the post in question and the reasons for why you believe it should be accepted. Boost appeals are currently reviewed by Minds admins.
