Trust & moderation

Screened before published. Every time.

Open bounty boards have a short, ugly history: within hours of launch, unmoderated platforms have hosted listings that put real people in danger. The Gazette is built the other way around — review comes before publication, not after the harm.

The gate

Every listing takes this path. There's no fast lane around it, no exemption for spending more.

Posted

Funded & held

The full reward and fee are debited the moment a listing is created — before any review. A listing with no money behind it never enters the pipeline at all.

Screened

Machine triage, human judgment

Automated checks flag risky language and route listings to trained human reviewers. The machine sorts; a person decides. Every high-value listing is human-reviewed regardless of content.

Published

On the board

Only approved listings appear publicly. Declined listings are refunded — and posters acting in good faith get an explanation of what to change, not just a rejection.

Bounded, not boundless.

Most lawful, safe tasks are welcome — design work, translation, research, photography, local errands, marketing, authorized security testing, and far more. But this is not an "anything goes" board, and some things are refused without discussion:

Never published

Anything that risks harm to a person, an animal, or a child. Tasks targeting, surveilling, or pressuring a specific individual. Dangerous stunts. Illegal goods. Fraud, scams, fake engagement, and deception. Unauthorized hacking. Hate and extremism. The full policy will ship in our Terms of Service at launch — but the line itself isn't waiting on lawyers.

Allowed with a human sign-off

Some legitimate tasks deserve a closer look before publishing: anything involving physical presence or third parties, tasks about real identifiable people, regulated subject matter, and every listing above 10,000 USDT regardless of category. These always reach a human reviewer.

Why you can take the board at face value.

Funded before visible

You will never see a listing that can't pay. Escrow happens before review, and review happens before publication.

Verified participants

Identity verification is required before anyone can move money. Anonymous funds don't post bounties here.

No profit in punishment

Penalties from bad-faith posters fund a reimbursement pool for affected users — they're structurally separated from our revenue, so stricter moderation never pays us more.

Calm by design.

You won't find countdown pressure, flashing urgency, or manufactured scarcity here. Money decisions deserve a quiet room. The board shows you the task, the reward, the fee, and the total — and waits.
