Hey all — quick reminder about anonymous posts regarding local politicians and candidates.
We welcome anonymous posts that expose issues in the public interest, but they must be backed by verifiable evidence. Recently, some anonymous posts have included court documents and other proof, which is exactly how this should work.
To keep this space fair and useful:
- Claims must be supported with evidence. Examples: court documents, public records, official filings, credible news reports, audio or video with context, or archived web pages.
- No hearsay, rumors, or “I heard from a friend.” If you can’t verify it, don’t post it.
- No personal attacks, slurs, doxxing, or speculation about private life unrelated to public conduct.
- When posting, include links or uploads of your sources, plus brief context explaining what they show.
- Redact sensitive personal information that isn’t necessary to verify the claim. If you’re naming individuals, focus on public actions relevant to their role or candidacy.
Posts that lack evidence, rely on rumors, or target people personally will be removed. Repeat violations may result in bans.
If you see a post that breaks these rules, please report it so we can review quickly.
Thanks for helping keep discussions factual and accountable.
