Readers help shape Reported.News in two ways: voting on whether a story matters, and flagging claims they think are wrong.

Voting

  • Vote on whether a story matters, not whether you agree with it.
  • One vote per person per story.
  • Votes influence how prominent a story is on the homepage. They never change what a story says or its verification status.
  • We monitor for coordinated or automated voting and may discount votes that appear to be part of a campaign.

Flagging a claim

  • Flag a specific claim and tell us why you think it is wrong. Evidence and links help.
  • Every flag is re-checked. If a claim does not stand up, the story is corrected and the change is logged.
  • Please do not use flags to register disagreement with an opinion or a political position.

Not allowed

Abuse, harassment, spam, impersonation, or attempts to manipulate votes or flags. We may remove access for anyone who breaks these rules.
