Moderation Policy
Last updated: May 25, 2026
1. Purpose
CASEFORUM is a public record transparency platform. We host court records, AI-generated case summaries, and user-submitted commentary. This policy governs how we review and moderate content on the platform.
2. What We Moderate
- User comments on threads — all comments are reviewed before publication.
- User claims about case facts — reviewed for accuracy and relevance.
- AI-generated summaries — automatically flagged for review; may contain inaccuracies.
- Privacy takedown requests — reviewed and actioned within 30 days.
3. Moderation Guidelines
Content will be rejected or removed if it:
- Contains personally identifiable information (PII) not already in the public record.
- Is used or intended to be used for FCRA-regulated purposes (employment, credit, insurance, housing, or tenant screening).
- Contains harassment, threats, or defamatory material.
- Is clearly inaccurate or misleading about court proceedings.
- Violates applicable law or court orders (including sealing or protective orders).
4. Review Process
All user-generated content passes through a review queue before publication. Moderators may approve, reject, or request corrections. Users are notified of moderation decisions.
AI-generated content is published immediately but flagged for human review. AI summaries are clearly labeled as AI-generated and should not be relied upon as authoritative.
5. Appeals
If your content is rejected and you believe this was in error, contact us at [email protected]. Appeals are reviewed within 14 business days.
6. Privacy Takedowns
If you believe your PII is displayed on CASEFORUM in a way that violates your privacy rights, submit a takedown request at our Privacy page. We review all requests within 30 days.
CASEFORUM is not a consumer reporting agency. Content on this platform is not for FCRA-regulated purposes. See our FCRA Notice for more information.
