Reviewer programme

Keep the signal honest

Automated collection finds early signals; people keep them trustworthy. Reviewers read signals against their sources and can remove misleading ones from public view — with a public reason, like editors on an encyclopedia.

Principles

Verifiability: Judge a signal by whether its linked sources support what it says — not by whether you like the project.
Public reasons: Every hide or restore needs a written reason. Reasons and reviewer names are published in the moderation log.
No conflicts: Recuse yourself from projects you work on, invest in, or compete with. Declare conflicts when applying.
Hide, never delete: Moderation removes a signal from public view. The record and the log remain, and any reviewer can restore it with a reason.
Proportionality: Hide for fabrication, spam, harmful content, or claims the sources contradict. Weak-but-honest signals stay; the score already reflects weak evidence.

How access is granted

You make your case in a structured application: who you are, why, your experience, and a sample review of a live signal.
The application is sent to the site owner, who reads every one personally.
If approved, reviewer tools appear on signal pages for your account. Approval can be withdrawn.

Every moderation action is visible in the public moderation log.
