==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>https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6196/what-is-physics-overflow-and-how-is-it-linked-to-physics-se</ref><ref>https://physicsoverflow.org/user-rights</ref> The content is largely community-moderated, much like MathOverflow, although exceptions have been recorded.
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>https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_ra1Ss1E-rWN3cyRC1zalAtT1U/edit</ref><ref>https://physicsoverflow.org/faq</ref><ref>https://physicsoverflow.org/user-rights</ref><ref>https://physicsoverflow.org/users/special</ref><ref>https://physicsoverflow.org/review</ref><ref>https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6196/what-is-physics-overflow-and-how-is-it-linked-to-physics-se#comment25091_6213</ref><ref>https://physicsoverflow.org/22268/physics-overflow-moderators-what-their-exact-role-and-powers</ref> In response, the site's administrators posted a bulletin of all moderation-related content on the site on the homepage.
