Trove User moderation
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 generally 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 will 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 politically sensitive issues.
Reporting by other patrons brings these incidents to the Trove Partnerships’s attention. On
investigation, some postings will 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.
Information about the staged warnings can be found in the User postings moderation policy.

‘burswood’s’ activity.

Report
10/11/21 I have reviewed a number of articles corrected by burswood, an example
below. I have been unable to find any justification for the Trove user to take
this cause of action. Burswood’s corrections per article is quite small so they
are able to do many relatively quickly.
