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.

Two of the three disputed claims are factual errors in named-person attributes: claim_findings[1] reverses the Cajee brothers' ages at founding (Raees was approximately 20, Ameer approximately 17 — contradicted by three independent sources), and claim_findings[6] misidentifies Ameer Cajee as CEO when he was COO, an error that appears in the page's severity-critical section. The third and most significant dispute is claim_findings[24]: the page asserts Swiss prosecutors withdrew the money laundering case against Ameer Cajee, but this claim is contradicted by three Tier 2 sources including a May 2025 Daily Maverick investigation that explicitly states proceedings were 'continuing' — no credible source was found confirming case withdrawal. The page also carries two imprecise timeline dates (timeline[2] and timeline[5]) flagged as partially supported. Reviewer confidence is 0.82 and no link rot was found. The page requires targeted corrections to the three disputed claims and the two timeline dates before these findings are resolved.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":7,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
