The community shared vocabulary is a collaboratively maintained set of terms and definitions used by moderators and administrators to ensure clarity, fairness, and consistency in community governance across diverse platforms.
IFTAS and the SW-ISAC use industry-standard labels and definitions to classify actors, behaviour, and content. Click each label to see its definition, guidance, and example community guidance.
Thanks to our community, these labels and their definitions are also available in other languages. Special thanks to DTSP for re-releasing these labels as Creative Commons, allowing us to solicit translation volunteers.
