Evidence and responsible framing
Distinguish facts, allegations, interpretations and uncertainty. Use traceable sources, explain their limits and make credible disagreement visible. Do not fabricate citations or imply that the existence of a source proves its claim. We remain responsible for editorial framing even when citing third parties.
VERIFIED
The central factual claim is supported by strong authoritative and/or independently corroborated evidence under Lord Sterling's editorial standard. This is an evidence assessment, not a statement of belief.
DOCUMENTED
Reliable primary or authoritative documentation confirms that the described event, program, document, statement or activity existed or occurred. This does not validate every interpretation, motive or broader theory surrounding it.
DISPUTED
Credible evidence or credible sources materially disagree about the central claim or its interpretation. The disagreement must remain visible rather than implying a consensus.
UNVERIFIED
Available reliable evidence is currently insufficient to establish the claim as true, even when the claim is historically or intellectually interesting.
DEBUNKED
Strong evidence contradicts the central claim, or key supporting evidence has been shown to be false, fabricated, misidentified or materially misleading.
HISTORICAL THEORY
A historically significant theory, allegation or interpretation studied as a cultural, intellectual or historical phenomenon, without presenting it as established fact.
Rationale and revision
Every Conspiracy & Claims discovery requires one primary classification, a concise rationale and supporting sources. Classifications may be revised without recreating a discovery as evidence changes. Report a possible correction with its discovery reference, the specific statement and relevant sources to cleanandcraftnl@gmail.com. A full moderation and appeals system is not implemented yet.
Sensitive material
Educational discussion may concern propaganda, violence or disturbing historical events. Avoid gratuitous detail, sensationalism, dehumanisation and encouragement of harm. Mature opt-in is a content preference, not a claim that a person's age has been verified.
People, rights and safety
Do not promote harassment, hate, exploitation, doxxing or unsupported defamatory accusations against private individuals. Respect privacy, copyright and source integrity. Do not present medical or other high-stakes misinformation as settled advice. Urgent danger should be addressed through appropriate emergency services, not this platform.
Present scope and future community features
These standards describe the current editorial and account-use foundation. Public creator publishing, comments, follows and a social moderation system are not part of this release. Those features require additional terms, reporting, enforcement and applicable EU Digital Services Act review before launch.
