**TL;DR**: [Appoint mods](#moderating-abuse); [keep in touch](#communication-channels); [tag your room right](#community-tags) (`#nsfw` and `#test`); [and above all, follow the rules](README.md#policy).
**Abuse is a very real problem on Session. Make sure to appoint sufficient moderators to your Communities**.
Communities listed on our site must take care to [follow our policy](README.md#policy), which includes the [Session Terms of Service](https://getsession.org/terms-of-service).
Make your Community look more legitimate by setting a name and description.
Don't know how to set up a room with a name and description? Check the [official documentation](https://github.com/oxen-io/session-pysogs/blob/stable/administration.md#creating-a-room).
Forgot to set a description? Update it like so:
```sh
sogs --rooms MY_ROOM_ID --description "New description goes here #lang:en#privacy"
```
Forgot to set a name? The following command might just save you (just replace the bits in uppercase):
```sh
sqlite3 /var/lib/session-open-group-server/sogs.db 'update rooms set name="MY_ROOM_NAME" where token="MY_ROOM_ID";'
The obvious benefit is searchability. However, tags such `#nsfw` or `#test` also help us automatically hide parts of the Community display:
The `#nsfw` tag hides the Community avatar and ensures visitors know your Community is not safe for work, while the `#test` tag marks a Community as "intended for testing" and hides it from our index. The `#unlisted` tag can be used for the same purpose, such as when archiving Communities.
You may notice the Host column groups Communities by their host SOGS, and some SOGS are easily recognizable by a unified icon. If you also want your Communities to be linked by a recognizable icon, the requirements are easy:
- The icon must be the same as an existing Community avatar.
- The icon must be safe-for-work, i.e., no suggestive or violent material.
- first, confirm it is listed on an upstream source,
- verify it can be joined from the app,
- check in our page footer that the list has been updated recently, and
- ensure your Community [follows our policy](README.md#policy).
If your Community still does not appear on our list, [please contact us](README.md#contact-us). Note that poor connectivity may affect our ability to list Communities in regions affected by internet censorship.
We occasionally accept requests from server operators to de-list whole Community servers.
If you feel our listing would be detrimental to your Communities — such as in cases where your Communities reveal sensitive information about your users — you may [contact us](README.md#contact-us) to request to de-list a Community server. Please note that Session Communities are not designed with private communication in mind.
