Trust and quality

ChronoBlock only works if users believe the map more than a random thread.

Editorial standards

• Timeline: high-signal sources, one story per Topic, required citations
• Atlas: one entity per card, required placement, sourced dates
• Calendar: real days, never invented
• Assist: ChronoBlock-first, labeled internet fallback

Full list: Principles of truth.

Review before it is live

Community submissions go through a pending queue unless a privileged role publishes directly. Reviewers decide what ships. Incomplete or misplaced items can be rejected. Nothing unpublished is auto-promoted onto the map.

Money vs knowledge

Sponsored surfaces are labeled attention. Atlas sort is not a rate card. Paid placement in a Time Capsule or as a fake highlight is a policy violation.

Corrections and defunct projects

Edit (queued or staff). Fallen/defunct flags keep history without pretending a protocol still ships. Impersonation on People cards is a claim-integrity issue — Card Claims.

Conduct

Comments, Pulse, and Best Meme are not a harassment layer. Staff can delete. Standing blocks apply to contributions; serious abuse can lose the account.

Governance

There is not a public DAO on this product yet. Policy lives with the operators and this documentation. If community voting ships, this page will point to it.
