Handling Trust & Safety (“T&S”) in the WordPress ecosystem: content moderation and sensitive content

WordPress has many community-led initiatives and directories with user-submitted content, like the Pattern Directory, the Photo Directory, Openverse, Themes, Plugins, and Support Forums. These areas hold user-submitted content, whether text or other media. However, each team has its own methods to evaluate its content, and its own moderation practices. This discussion aims to better understand current practices across teams towards establishing project-wide best practices and clear guidelines that prioritize safety and equitable moderation.
