+We’re keen to make sure that Mathstodon is great for everyone.
+Users violating the server's rules may have their accounts suspended and will not be welcome to take part any more.
+If you are subject to or observe any harassment, or have any other concerns, please report the toot concerned or message a moderator. Reports will be dealt with discreetly and in confidence.
+Please be aware of your surroundings and the effect your words and actions have on the people around you. We want everyone to have a great time, and treat each other with respect.
+Mathstodon is operated by UK citizens and is subject to UK law, most notably the Online Safety Act and General Data Protection Regulation.
+===== Server rules =====
+  * Don’t do anything that’s illegal in the UK or EU.
+  * Aggression and elitism are unwelcome here - it’s not a competition. Don’t assume you know better than the person you’re talking to.
+  * We want to be inclusive; do not engage in exclusionary behaviour or language against anyone based on their race, caste, gender (binary, assigned or otherwise), disability, mental health, sexual orientation, level of education or age.
+  * Don’t make exclusionary jokes. Don’t even make them “ironically”.
+  * Don’t harass people. Unconsented contact or sexual attention can constitute harassment, even if it wasn’t intended to cause upset. Dressing or acting in a certain way is not consent.
+  * All services on this site are intended for people who are at least 18 years old. If you are under the age of 18, do not use this site.
+==== Handling Illegal Content ====
+The moderation team treats illegal content with the utmost gravity. When made
+aware of the presence of illegal content, through Mastodon's reporting
+features, or third party app reporting features, or through our contact email
+address, [[mailto:admin@email.mathstodon.xyz|admin@email.mathstodon.xyz]], we will take this down at the earliest
+opportunity.
+The mathstodon.xyz Mastodon instance does not use proactive technology to
+detect illegal content.
+We include specific provisions for the following types of content.
+=== Terrorism Content ===
+The type of content defined under [[https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/schedule/5/enacted|Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule
+]] will be
+taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation
+of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be
+reported to law enforcement.
+=== CSEA Content ===
+The type of content defined under [[https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/schedule/6/enacted|Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule
+]] will be
+taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation
+of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be
+reported to law enforcement.
+=== Priority Illegal Content ===
+The type of content defined under [[https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/schedule/7/enacted|Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule
+]] will be
+taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation
+of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be
+reported to law enforcement.
+==== Complaints and Appeals ====
+Complaints about content are best reported through Mastodon's reporting
+features, be that on the web site or through third party applications. This
+creates an audit trail.
+To appeal moderation actions you may contact us at [[mailto:admin@email.mathstodon.xyz|admin@email.mathstodon.xyz]].
+The decision made by the moderators is final. It is a privilege to use this
+service, and not a right.
