Tech:Internal ToU Policy

{{ {{Tech policy}} }}

The Technology team is authorized to enforce the Terms of Use and enact sanctions, up to and including global bans, as emergency measures to protect the operational stability of Miraheze. No more action should be taken than is necessary to stabilize Miraheze. These actions are subject to review by Trust and Safety.

Examples#

Example 1: A user is using a bot/automated script to automatically generate a large number of pages per second, which is degrading the service, the Technology team would:

• Temporarily block the user and then alert T&S of the behavior and the action taken by the Technology team.

Example 2: A user attempts to DDOS or otherwise gain access to Miraheze servers, the Technology team would:

• Globally lock the user and potentially globally block or rangeblock IPs used by the user, and then alert T&S of the behavior and the action taken by the Technology team.

Example 3: A wiki contains several pages which describe how to DDOS or otherwise hack Miraheze servers, the Technology team would:

• Delete the wiki (as closing and making it private would still allow its users to access it and harm Miraheze);
• Block or lock any users involved in writing the how-to guides (as they could replicate that information on other wikis); and
• Alert T&S of the behavior and the action taken by the Technology team.
