Democratic Moderation

Kick Voting System

Voice Spaces use a democratic approach to moderation:

How It Works

1. Any participant can initiate a vote to remove someone

2. A threshold of votes is required (e.g., 3 votes)

3. Once threshold is met, the user is removed

4. Removed users cannot rejoin the same Space

Starting a Kick Vote

1. Hover over a participant's avatar

2. Click "Vote to Kick"

3. Confirm your vote

4. Other participants can add their votes

Why Kick Voting?

This system prevents:

• Individual host bias

• Abuse of power

• Silencing unpopular opinions

While maintaining:

• Community standards

• Productive discussions

• Safe environment

Note: Abuse of kick voting may result in account restrictions
