+# W3C Discussion Forum Moderation Guidance
+
+Every email list, issues list or other discussion forum creates an obligation to ensure that it is not used for harmful purposes.
+By default, a forum's moderators are the group's chairs, maintainers or W3C administrators, 
+but specific individuals may also be appointed as moderators.  The purpose of moderation is to ensure that the forum is used in keeping with W3C's mission and values.
+
+## Moderator Guidelines
+
+Moderation of a discussion forum typically requires only a very light touch.
+
+Often helpful:
+- Start productive conversations.
+- Thank authors for particularly insightful posts.  This can be done privately, but occasional public accolades are also helpful.
+- Gently guide conversations in a more productive direction if they get too far off track.
+- Guide discussions toward actionable closure.
+
+Other responsibilities:
+- Follow all posted content, at least enough to notice whether any content violates W3C policies.
+- Ensure that participants abide by the [W3C Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/cepc/) (CEPC).  
+- If a suspected violation of the CEPC occurs, refer to the [Dispute Resolution Guidance](https://github.com/w3c/PWETF/blob/main/DisputeResolution.md) for handling it.
+- Remove malware links and spam.
