The rules that make this a club, not a comment section.

1. 01
   Public records only

   Everything we work from is a document anyone can request: FOIA responses, court files, property and transit records, archived news. If you can't source it, it doesn't go in.

2. 02
   No contact. With anyone.

   Never reach out to a family, a witness, a suspect, or their employer, neighbour, or child — online or off. Not to be helpful. Not once.

3. 03
   No naming un-charged people

   We don't publish, post, or say aloud the name of anyone who hasn't been charged. No initials, no hints, no 'everyone knows who I mean'.

4. 04
   No doxxing

   No addresses, workplaces, phone numbers, or family details of any private individual. This one gets you removed immediately, first offence.

5. 05
   Agencies come first

   If law enforcement asks us to pause or drop a case, we do it that day — and members don't continue on their own under the club's name.

6. 06
   Speak carefully about victims

   Write about people the way you'd want a stranger to write about your family. Speculation about a victim's choices isn't investigation.

Seen something that breaks these rules, inside the club or out? Tell a moderator. We take it seriously and we'll tell you what we did about it.
