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 the following labels and definitions to classify actors, behaviour, and content. Click each label to see its definition, guidance, and example community guidance. Labels are sourced from the Trust & Safety Glossary of Terms from DTSP.

Thanks to our community, these labels and their definitions are also available in:

• Français
• Português Brasileiro
• Scots Gaelic (labels only)
• 简体字 (Simplified Chinese)
