==Moderation practices==
PhysicsOverflow is well-known for its liberal moderation policy and hesitation to block contributors except for spam, as reflected in the website's bill of "user rights".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6196/what-is-physics-overflow-and-how-is-it-linked-to-physics-se|title=What is Physics Overflow and how is it linked to Physics.SE?|website=Physics Meta Stack Exchange|access-date=2017-03-19|archive-date=2017-03-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170320053801/https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6196/what-is-physics-overflow-and-how-is-it-linked-to-physics-se|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="physicsoverflow.org">{{cite web|url=https://physicsoverflow.org/user-rights|title=User Rights - PhysicsOverflow|website=physicsoverflow.org|access-date=2017-03-19|archive-date=2017-03-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170320053816/https://physicsoverflow.org/user-rights|url-status=live}}</ref> The content is largely community-moderated, much like MathOverflow, although exceptions have been recorded.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://physicsoverflow.org/31863|title=Violation of policy to close questions?|last1=drake|last2=Dilaton|last3=dimension10|date=10 June 2015|website=PhysicsOverflow|access-date=19 March 2017|archive-date=17 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017221054/http://www.physicsoverflow.org/31863|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="https://physicsoverflow.org/review">{{Cite web | url=https://physicsoverflow.org/review | title=Moderate
Although the site's moderation policy is publicly available as part of the moderator manual, the site has been criticised for the excessive dispersion of policy-related material, such as the FAQ, the Bill of Rights, the moderator list and the Community Moderation threads, leading to reduced transparency.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6196/what-is-physics-overflow-and-how-is-it-linked-to-physics-se|title=What is Physics Overflow and how is it linked to Physics.SE?|website=Physics Meta Stack Exchange|access-date=2017-03-19|archive-date=2017-03-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170320053801/https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6196/what-is-physics-overflow-and-how-is-it-linked-to-physics-se|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://physicsoverflow.org/22268|title=Who are the Physics Overflow moderators, and what is their exact role and powers?|last1=SaddlePoint|last2=Dilaton|first3=Ron|last3=Maimon|date=14 August 2014|website=PhysicsOverflow}}</ref> In response, the site's administrators posted a bulletin of all moderation-related content on the site on the homepage.
