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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

The main weaknesses are (1) overstated framing around 2022 SEC scrutiny for executive departures, (2) characterizing Tesla's financial and stock performance as 'generally strong' without acknowledging the severe 2022 decline and 2023-2024 margin compression, and (3) the absence of significant post-2023 developments including the $56B compensation package litigation outcome, the December 2025 California false advertising ruling, and updated NHTSA investigations. The timeline date for the NHTSA investigation (August 16 vs. actual August 13 opening) is a minor inaccuracy. No claims are outright disputed by more credible current sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
