Platform Governance

Interiorscape Commons is governed by its owner-members, with clear rules to keep the platform neutral, credible, and valuable for everyone.

Governance Model

Owner-Led

Governance decisions are made by verified company owners. Owner status is carefully controlled - it can only be granted through admin invitation or explicit approval.

Democratic Process

Major platform decisions are put to owner vote. Each owner company gets one vote, regardless of size.

Admin Oversight

Platform admins handle day-to-day operations, member vetting, and rule enforcement. Admins are accountable to the owner community.

Transparent Rules

All platform rules are documented and publicly available. Changes require community notice and, for major changes, owner approval.

Platform Rules (Non-Negotiable)

1

All users must be approved

No self-registration. Every member goes through manual vetting.

2

Owners are explicitly designated by admins

Owner status cannot be self-selected. It requires admin invitation or approval.

3

Vendors cannot self-designate as owners

Vendor members have their own role. They cannot access owner-only areas.

4

No selling or solicitation inside member areas

Forums and community spaces are for genuine discussion, not sales.

5

No pay-to-play rankings or featured listings

Vendor directory is informational only. No paid placements or rankings.

6

Role-based access is enforced server-side

Technical controls ensure you only see what your role permits.

7

Wright Gardner = founding sponsor, not operator

The sponsor provides resources but has no special platform privileges.
