Editing How-to: Moderation

=== Making a moderation decision ===
Moderation decisions should be made in consensus with all other moderators. Moderation decisions should preferably be logged, though we do not have a set place yet where this can happen.

=== Matrix: How to ban an account ===
We use the [https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/ draupnir] moderation bot to moderate our Matrix homeserver.

Requirement:

* Access to the room <code>#matrix-moderators:pub.solar</code>
* Moderator permission level in pub.solar rooms

Element Web has a built-in "Ban from room" button that can be used by selecting an account from the "People" list of a room. After using this button, <code>draupnir</code> will prompt for a reaction in <code>#matrix-moderators:pub.solar</code> asking whether to add this ban to the local ban list, applying the ban to all rooms in the pub.solar space.

Another option is to directly add an account to the local ban list by sending a message command to the <code>draupnir</code> bot in the room <code>#matrix-moderators:pub.solar</code>. The syntax to add a ban is:
 !draupnir ban @account:homeserver.domain ps-bans spam
<code>ps-bans</code> is the short code of our local pub.solar ban list. In this example <code>spam</code> is the reason for the ban.
