===== Moderation is basically environmental feedback shaping: =====
* If the community allows low-effort self-protective tactics to “work,” those tactics get reinforced.
* If the community requires repair behaviors (quote, specify, concede, update conditions), then the path of least resistance shifts toward integrity.

So yes: even if a user isn’t doing it intentionally, they’re still benefiting from the allowances — and that alters their trajectory unless the environment interrupts it.

If you want, pick one direction (reply with a number) and I’ll help you formalize it:
# A short mod rubric: “repair test → classify → action,” written so it doesn’t rely on tone or mind-reading.
# A CTDST-style stage mapping: how these patterns look at different stages + the “worst-case reliability” idea you mentioned.
# A “trajectory diagram”: trigger → shortcut → payoff → reinforcement → agency loss, written as a pinned mini-section you can paste into the guide.
