House Rules (AKA the 10 Non-Negotiables)
These aren’t just suggestions — they’re the bones of the building. Break them, and you might be checking out early.

THE NON-NEGOTIABLES

No doxxing or posting private info

No naming suspects not named by law enforcement

No blaming or shaming victims or families

No harassment, bullying, or name-calling — of anyone

No links to grifter YouTubers or misinformation machines

No spam or self-promo without approval

No political rants (unless directly tied to a case or policy)

Use trigger warnings when needed

Label speculation clearly — and avoid wild leaps

Respect the mission: truth > clout

Speculation vs. Accusation
We get it — sometimes, it feels like you know what happened. But we don’t cross the line here.

OK to say:

“There’s a gap in the timeline. Why would they wait 3 hours to call?”

NOT OK to say:

“She definitely killed him and is faking everything.”

Stick to facts, flag your theories, and remember: there are real people behind these stories.
