RULE 6.3READING / 4 PARAGRAPHS

Fabricated Messages & Evidence

Do not create, edit, crop, inspect-element, AI-generate, or stage messages, screenshots, logs, recordings, or moderation notices to make false events appear genuine.

Satire and mock-ups must be clearly labelled at the point of posting and must not target a person, imitate an active incident, or be reusable as deceptive evidence.

Knowingly submitting false evidence, omitting decisive context, coordinating testimony, or deleting material after being asked to preserve it is a serious abuse of the reporting system.

Redaction is permitted to protect privacy, but it must be disclosed and must not remove information that changes the meaning of the evidence.
