Prohibited Content Policy

Mercureon is for serious independent research funding and research communication. Content must be lawful, honest, and appropriate for a platform that handles supporter money and public scientific claims.

Mercureon may reject, hide, remove, pause, or escalate content that creates safety, legal, payment, trust, or moderation risk.

Prohibited content includes harassment, threats, hate, spam, impersonation, fraudulent fundraising, malware, doxxing, non-consensual personal data exposure, illegal goods or services, and attempts to evade moderation or payment controls.

Content must not present medical, safety, environmental, or scientific claims in a misleading way, especially where a supporter could reasonably interpret speculative work as proven or guaranteed.

Mercureon should not host campaigns that facilitate unlawful activity, unsafe human experimentation, undisclosed regulated medical claims, weapons development, evasion of institutional or legal oversight, or research that cannot be responsibly described to supporters.

Some topics may require additional review, documentation, or rejection depending on applicable law, ethical requirements, payment provider restrictions, and platform risk.

Mercureon may request edits, reject researcher applications or campaigns, pause live campaigns, hide comments, remove posts or updates, suspend users, or preserve records for audit and support review.

Policy enforcement should distinguish between researcher-owned archive actions and platform policy actions, and sensitive admin actions should be audited.
