Trust & verification

A forum about crypto is only useful if you can tell who is talking and whether an accusation is real. Both sides of that matter: what we require of organisations, and what we refuse to sell them.

What it means

What a verified organizational presence means.

Verification is about identity, not quality.

It means our team established that the account genuinely represents the organisation it claims to — through control of an official channel, official domains and public record. It is checked by a person before approval.

It does not mean we endorse the organisation, vouch for its product, or believe it is a good investment.

Prohibited

What is not allowed, for anyone.

These apply to everyone, whether or not they pay us anything.

Fabricated evidence

Falsified screenshots, doctored transactions, invented quotes.

Impersonation

Posing as a person, a company, or an official channel you do not control.

Extortion

Demanding payment to withdraw or not publish an accusation.

Duplicate attack threads

Reposting one claim across many topics to make it look larger than it is.

Coordinated harassment

Organised pile-ons against a person or an organisation.

An accusation must carry evidence a reader can check. That requirement is what makes a serious accusation here worth taking seriously.

Stated plainly

What money cannot buy.

Because it is the question every organisation actually has.

Opinion
Payment never buys favourable opinions, positive sentiment, or endorsement.
Criticism
Payment never removes genuine, evidence-based criticism — including in a client’s own dedicated space.
Moderation
Payment never affects moderation of a dispute. A paying organisation and a member get the same rules applied the same way.
Reach
Payment never buys traffic, ranking, backlink value, or any effect on a token’s demand or price.

What a paid plan buys is publishing capability and, on Managed Presence, editorial work. Nothing about it touches what other people are allowed to say about you.

Corrections

If something written about you is wrong.

Tell us, with what makes it wrong. A factual error will be corrected once established, and corrections are made openly rather than by quietly editing the record.

An accurate account that you would prefer were not public is not an error, and will not be removed. That is the same standard we would apply if the subject were us.
