Report illegal content (abuse / notice)
The Memstead registry hosts user-published content. We are a hosting provider: we do not pre-screen content, but we act on concrete notices of unlawful content expeditiously.
How to report
Send a notice to: abuse@memstead.com
A notice we can act on must state all four of the following. If any is missing we will reply asking for it, naming what was missing — so please include everything up front:
- What — the content you believe is unlawful.
- Where — the registry handle (
<scope>:<name>, with the version if
specific) or its page URL (/v/<scope>/<name>).
- Why — the legal ground (for example: copyright infringement, or the
specific category of illegal content).
- Who — your identity and contact details, so we can follow up and so the
publisher can respond to a counter-notice.
What happens next
- A well-formed notice triggers review and, where the content is unlawful,
removal. We aim to act expeditiously.
- A malformed notice (missing a required field) gets a reply naming the
missing fields — it is not silently dropped, and it is not actioned until complete.
- When content is removed, the publisher receives a statement of reasons
and may submit a counter-notice disputing the removal.
Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
Reports of child sexual abuse material are handled under a separate mandatory process and are escalated to the competent authorities. They are never treated as an ordinary notice and are never auto-rejected for formatting.
Vulnerability reports
Security vulnerabilities in the registry itself are not content-abuse reports — see the project's security policy / SECURITY.md for that channel.
