What is allowed on Synapedia, what is not — and how content is assessed, labelled, and escalated.
Read in German →Synapedia is a scientific education platform. Harm reduction knowledge must remain accessible and uncensored. At the same time, the platform must not be perceived as sourcing infrastructure or consumption guidance. This policy draws a clear line between knowledge access (always permitted) and sourcing or consumption assistance (never permitted).
Sourcing & vendor information
Any mention of sources, vendors, marketplaces, referral codes, or contact information is prohibited — regardless of whether it is presented as positive or negative.
Consumption guidance
Content framed as instructions for preparing, consuming, or intensifying substances ("how to make X stronger") is not permitted.
Decontextualised dosage claims
Personal dosage recommendations without mandatory context (tolerance, body weight, route, combinations) are removed or appended with required metadata.
Glorification & minimisation
Content that explicitly minimises risks, glorifies substance use, or describes a substance as "safe" or "harmless" is removed.
Identifiable individuals
Reports describing recognisable individuals' consumption or risk situations are not permitted.
All content is automatically classified and passes through the following escalation chain:
Content is contextually appropriate: no sourcing hints, no unsafe dosage claims, no identifiable individuals.
Content contains dose figures without context — automatically appended with tolerance/weight disclaimer and UncertaintyChip.
Content contains ambiguous recommendations or edge cases — queued for manual review.
Vendor mention, sourcing hint, glorification, or direct consumption guidance — removed immediately, author notified.
Content signals acute danger, uncontrolled consumption, or an emergency — immediate escalation to help resources.
Community contributions are evaluated using a reputation score. Users with a low score are routed to the review queue more frequently. Users who repeatedly post G4 content are deactivated.
Errors in the moderation system can be reported via the Help Center.
