Access to information varies based on both the community's genre and on the position a person has in it. A competitive community may restrict access to tactics, future activities, or training to only those in the relevant teams. A community that hosts servers may restrict access to disciplinary documents because it has personally identifiable information, may make the community look poorly as it'll be taken out of context, or it is restricted to maintain trust in the discretion of handling sensitive matters.  
Access to information varies based on both the community's genre and on the position a person has in it. A competitive community may restrict access to tactics, future activities, or training to only those in specific teams. A roleplay community may restrict access to conversations and objectives that are only meant for members of specific organizations, such as the police or criminal enterprises.  


'''No information regarding a community may be added ''<u>anywhere on this project</u>'' that is not available to someone with <u>general membership</u> in the relevant community'''. "General membership" is defined as access to information that does not require appointment to a named position via any method. Access to information that ''does'' require appointment is considered to be outside the scope of "general membership". If such information is discovered or reported, [[Project:Administrators|administrators]] may perform [[P:REVDEL|revision deletion]].
Online Communipedia finds the dissemination of information that is intended to remain private unethical. To this end, no information from a community may be added '''''<u>anywhere on this project</u>''''' unless it is accessible to an individual with general membership in the relevant community. If such information is discovered or reported, [[Project:Administrators|administrators]] may perform [[P:REVDEL|revision deletion]].  


Conversely, community leaders may not petition Online Communipedia to remove information that they do not wish to be displayed. If the information is in line with our content policies and relevant laws, unless there is a consensus amongst editors to remove it, it may remain. Community leaders are similarly not able to circumvent this policy by retroactively concealing information that was once available to the general member base; if it was ever available to the member base, it may remain, unless it is clear that it was done in error.
Conversely, community leaders may not petition Online Communipedia to remove information simply because they do not wish the information to be displayed. Community leaders are similarly not able to circumvent this policy by retroactively concealing information that was once available to the general member base; if it was ever available to the member base, it may remain, unless it is clear that the revealing of that information was in error ''and'' it was hastily rectified.
 
=== General Membership ===
"General membership" is defined based on how one participates in the community.
 
# If participation is done simply by participating on a service (e.g public Minecraft server), then general membership would be whatever a member of a forum (or any other communications platform) that is newly registered could see.
# If participation requires a manual review of some kind (e.g application process), then general membership would be what a member newly accepted into the community could see.
 
Any information that requires being appointed to a named position (e.g "moderator", "manager", "police officer") can safely be assumed to be in violation of this policy.
 
This will not always be a simple determination. Administrators are encouraged to be liberal in the enforcement of this policy if it is borderline.
