How moderation works

Submissions are reviewed within seven days. The moderation standard is the one documented on the governance page: tone, accuracy, and fit with the civic-education purpose of LongHouse. Political viewpoint is not a moderation criterion. Acceptance is not endorsement.

If accepted without edits, the piece appears on this page and the contributor receives a second email with the direct URL. If edits are needed before publication, we reply in the original email thread. Contributors' names are published; email addresses are withheld. Published voices are kept for the seven-year LongHouse retention standard; a contributor can request removal at any time.
