User-generated URLs and abuse reporting

If anyone can submit arbitrary links, add rate limits and a report button for CSAM or terrorism content—many jurisdictions expect proactive processes.

Log minimal metadata needed to investigate, then delete when resolved.

Git history as an editorial changelog

Commit messages like “fix: clarify Premium offline section” help teams remember why phrasing changed during audits. They do not replace user-facing release notes but complement them.

Tag major content refreshes for easier rollback.

Community guidelines for comment sections

If you enable comments, moderate harassment and spam quickly. Disabled comments with a “contact” link are valid for small teams that cannot moderate 24/7.

Link your rules next to the submit button, not buried in Terms.
