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.

That still falls in the minor-issues band, but two corrections are needed before this qualifies as a clean pass. claim_findings[7] flags an incorrect romanization of the Chinese term for the scheme ('sholai zhu pan' instead of 'sha zhu pan') -- a cosmetic error. More substantively, claim_findings[22] shows the page overstates a background statistic, attributing all 3,703 Foreign Ministry-logged overseas job-scam cases to human trafficking when independent reporting indicates only about 40% (roughly 1,480) were classified as trafficking; on a page dealing with trafficking and coercion, a roughly 2.5x overstatement of that figure needs correcting even though it sits in contextual background material, not the core allegations against the named syndicate or suspects. Separately, claim_findings[24] and [31] show the page's US$46.9M USDT freeze is misdated to August 2025 in both a section and the timeline -- that is the disclosure date, not the June 2024 freeze date -- which should be fixed for timeline accuracy. Finally, coverage_gaps[0] is rated high priority: no source addresses whether any of the 39 domestic suspects have raised a coercion or trafficking defense, which the page should address explicitly given it already distinguishes the paid domestic operation from the separately documented trafficked-abroad population. None of this touches the page's core allegations -- arrest count, victim count, dollar losses, named suspect Febiola Elizabeth's alleged role, and the criminal charges -- which the reviewer found solidly corroborated across independent tier-1/2 sources despite some cited URLs being bot-blocked.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
