Verify a decision
Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.
How verification works
- We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (
payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction. - We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
- You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is
AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

Three material issues require attention: (1) the timeline incorrectly places Abel's guilty plea in January 2021 when it occurred September 3, 2020; (2) the sentencing delays section incorrectly states Weeks' motion to withdraw his guilty plea 'remained pending' when it was denied in October 2025; and (3) the Balaci sentencing date of 'October 7, 2026' appears to conflict with BehindMLM reporting that it was rescheduled to March 19, 2026. Two minor technical characterizations — calling the Balaci filing a 'superseding indictment' rather than 'superseding information,' and the slight ambiguity in Medlin arrest sub-district — are minor errors that do not affect the page's overall accuracy.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
