Revyu Server Participation Agreement

Note

In short. Your server lets Revyu examine reports about it. Revyu decides independently and explains every decision in writing. The bot only does what you delegate, and only what Discord confirms is shown as done. You can revoke any sanction with a written reason, and everything is recorded on both sides.

1. Purpose

This agreement sets the terms under which a Discord server ("the Server") participates in Revyu, an independent reporting, examination and accountability platform. It is accepted by the Server's verified owner ("the Owner").

When the Owner accepts, Revyu records:

2. Words used in this agreement

3. What Revyu decides

The Owner authorises Revyu to examine reports that concern the Server, within the report categories the Owner enables, and to issue independent, reasoned decisions.

Every decision separates:

• established facts, supported by evidence;
• disputed claims, where the accounts differ;
• claims without enough evidence;
• recommendations, which are advice only.

Important

An allegation alone is never treated as proof. Each decision is signed with the public name of the reviewer who took it.

4. Required sanctions and recommendations

A decision may include a sanction that is either:

Timeouts use Discord's own lengths only: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day or 1 week.

How serious sanctions are checked

Sanctions are limited by each reviewer's grade, and checked by Revyu's servers on every action:

1. Lighter sanctions (timeouts, restricted roles) can be applied by reviewers whose grade allows it.
2. A sanction proposed by someone whose grade doesn't allow it waits until a reviewer with that power validates it.
3. A ban is never applied on one person's authority. It is requested by a senior reviewer with a written justification and supporting evidence, then approved or refused by a different, more senior reviewer or by the Director. Nobody can approve their own request, and a refused request can never be applied.

5. What the bot can and cannot do

The Revyu bot acts only with the permissions the Owner grants it, and only for delegated actions.

Warning

Revyu shows a sanction as applied only after Discord confirms it. If permissions, role hierarchy or a Discord outage prevent it, the sanction is shown as failed, with the reason, and Revyu never claims it was enforced.

6. The Owner's right to revoke

The Owner may revoke any sanction applied in the Server, at any time, from the owner dashboard.

• Every revocation needs a written reason of at least 20 characters.
• The revocation, its reason, the account that made it and the time are recorded permanently.
• The original decision and its execution history are never changed.
• Where Discord allows it, the bot reverses the action. Where it can't (for example a removal, since the member is simply free to rejoin), this is stated.

7. Repeated revocations and compliance reviews

When the Server records 3 or more owner revocations within 90 days (the current published thresholds, which Revyu may change with notice):

1. a compliance review opens automatically;
2. the Server's participation is marked as "under review";
3. the review is examined and closed by the Director with one of: no action, a warning, suspension or termination.

Tip

Thresholds never cause automatic termination. A revocation with a genuine reason is a right, not a fault: the review looks at the reasons, not just the count.

8. Disagreements and clarification

9. Privacy and confidentiality

• The Owner sees the decisions and sanctions concerning the Server, but never the reporter's identity, the evidence or Revyu's internal notes.
• A reporter may stay anonymous towards Revyu staff. Revyu does not reveal who made a report.
• Revyu only keeps what it needs to examine reports and keep its decisions verifiable, as described in its privacy policy.

10. Owner obligations

The Owner agrees to:

• keep the bot installed with the permissions needed for delegated actions;
• keep the Server's Revyu configuration accurate;
• never retaliate against reporters, or against anyone who took part in a case;
• not misrepresent Revyu's decisions, in the Server or elsewhere;
• respect required sanctions, or record a reasoned revocation.

11. Suspension and termination

Every change of participation status is recorded with its reason and shown to the Owner.

12. After termination

• Open cases concerning the Server may still be examined and decided.
• Required sanctions can no longer be applied by the bot.
• Case records, decisions and audit records are kept under Revyu's retention policy, so that past decisions stay verifiable.
• Evidence files are deleted when their retention period ends. Their fingerprint remains on record.

13. Changes to this agreement

Revyu may publish new versions of this agreement.

• Each version is immutable once published, and has its own fingerprint.
• When a new version requires renewed acceptance, the owner dashboard asks for it.
• The history of the versions the Owner accepted always stays visible to them.

14. Independence

Caution

No payment, sponsorship, partnership or influence can buy a decision or change the standard of evidence applied to the Server. Revyu currently offers no paid plans.
