Yes. Moderation is independent of the owner of the website. There are only two places where on-site moderation occurs. The owner of this website can choose to moderate stories as well as questions asked by participants and answer if they so choose.

Our moderators are trained to identify comments, which contain references to self-harm and or threats of violence and crime. Comments that mention or promote this behavior will be removed and escalated for further review and passed on to our clients for further action. Any further action will be at the discretion of our clients, including referrals to law enforcement, primary health, or first responder services. Bang the Table strongly advises its client to have sufficient processes in place to deal with these situations and highly encourages the use of verified participation for engagement activities. If you notice comments of this nature, please alert our moderators and the website owner immediately. Our team can be contacted by email.

Bang the Table's moderators do not have access to the user information stored by the owner of this site. Moderators are only able to view a user's publicly visible username and their text or image-based contributions for the express purposes of moderating those elements. Your participation on this site is guided by the website owners' Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
