We may remove content when there is a clear reason to believe that it violates the rules, creates a significant risk of harm, or is being used deceptively.
Disagreement with a statement does not automatically make the statement grounds for removal.

Where appropriate, Kalona.chat may:
* Ask the poster for clarification.
