Community Moderation

ViewFT’s moderation system is community-driven, not centralized. Viewers are the first line of defense against misinformation.

Flagging Content

Any viewer with sufficient ViewCred can flag content they believe is misleading. When you flag:

Select the content and choose a reason (factual error, misleading headline, fabricated source, etc.)
Provide a brief explanation with supporting evidence if available
The flag enters the Three-Layer Verification queue

If your flag is confirmed by the verification system, you earn:

To prevent abuse:

Flags that are not confirmed: no penalty for occasional misses
Repeated false flags: -2 ViewCred per unconfirmed flag after 3 consecutive misses
Coordinated flagging: detected by the system, results in severe ViewCred slashing

When content enters the verification process, eligible community members can vote:

Votes are ViewCred-weighted — a vote from a Trusted Voice carries more weight than a vote from a New user
This prevents Sybil attacks (creating many fake accounts to sway votes)
Voting window is typically 24-72 hours
Voters earn +1 View Point for participation regardless of outcome

When flagging content, select the most appropriate reason:

Category	Description	Example
Factual Error	Specific claims that are demonstrably false	”Company X was acquired for $1B” when no acquisition occurred
Misleading Headline	Headline doesn’t match article content	”Bitcoin Crashes” on an article about a 2% dip
Fabricated Source	Citations or quotes that don’t exist	Attributing a quote to a public figure who never said it
Undisclosed Conflict	Creator has undisclosed financial interest	Promoting a token without disclosing they hold a position
Plagiarism	Content copied from another source without attribution	Republishing another creator’s work as original
Coordinated Manipulation	Part of an organized campaign to spread specific narratives	Multiple accounts pushing identical talking points simultaneously

Flag with evidence — include links to contradicting sources when possible
Don’t flag opinions you disagree with — ViewFT protects editorial perspective; only flag verifiable factual issues
One flag per issue — don’t flag the same content multiple times for different reasons
Be patient — the verification process takes 24-72 hours; repeated flags on the same content won’t speed it up
