User postings moderation policy
Trove service Terms of use
http://trove.nla.gov.au/general/termsofuse
Background
Trove is a space where any member of the public can contribute and enrich the service through the
creation of comments, tags or lists, or by correcting text. These postings are general y unmoderated
by Trove staff, as they are provided in good faith by patrons keen to share their own insights gained
from extensive research.
From time to time a user wil abuse this privilege, using Trove’s annotation features to make other
users unwelcome in Trove. In the past this has taken the form of harassment of specific users,
defamation of public figures or agitation around political y sensitive issues.
Reporting by other patrons brings these incidents to the Trove Partnerships’s attention. On
investigation, some postings wil directly contravene the Trove Terms of Use. As Trove’s content,
user base and brand recognition grows, so too do incidents of malicious postings. Trove has an
immediate deactivation or staged warnings approach to dealing with these postings.
