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 problems keep this from a clean approval. First, claim_findings[17] found that the claim about CMDSS's website and social accounts going offline is cited to two sources that do not actually contain that information, even though the underlying fact appears true elsewhere -- a citation-accuracy defect that needs correction on the page. Second, and more important given the seriousness of the allegations, a high-priority coverage gap notes that the page omits a detail available in its own cited Yahoo Finance source: that CMDSS was asked for comment and did not respond. Leaving that out understates fairness to Dean Daghita, who has not been charged. A minor age discrepancy (21 vs. 22) was also found. Three additional findings marked 'unverifiable' reflect paywalled or inaccessible sources rather than actual factual problems, and the reviewer confirmed this page does not repeat a dating error found on a related sibling page, instead relying on better-sourced, contemporaneous reporting for that date. Taken together, this warrants revision -- fixing the mis-cited claim and adding the missing fairness detail -- but not removal or heavier sanction.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
