🛡️ Moderator Role & Rights

Moderators are the first line of defense in Conneth’s decentralized ecosystem. They ensure disputes, content violations, and abuse are handled efficiently — without centralized control.

🧭 Who Can Be a Moderator?

Only users with:

• ✅ Verified PoC status

• ✅ High Trust Rating (Connection Score > 75%)

• ✅ Community nomination or DAO approval

Moderators are voted in by the DAO and can be removed the same way.
