How to contribute to "Comments"

Community guidelines

Comments are switched on under most posts. Keep this space safe and respectful. By participating, you strictly agree to the following terms:

  1. Absolute Victim Privacy and Dignity: Do not type victim names, nicknames, initials, details of family members, addresses or any other potentially identifiable information of living sexual assault victims. This includes the two high-profile abduction survivors. Refer to them strictly by context instead e.g, "the 10-year-old victim from Ringwood" or "the 13-old-victim from Canterbury".

    Further, do not repost, summarise, or discuss explicit or graphic details regarding the nature of any assaults. The Disclosure Archive is a space for analytical, open-source investigation, not the sensationalism or consumption of survivor trauma.
  2. No Geopolitical Discussion: This space is dedicated exclusively to the published content. Do not reference off-topic commentary.
  3. Professional Conduct: No hate speech, harassment, personal attacks, slurs, or spam.
  4. No Personal Suspects: Naming, implying, or accusing random individuals as suspects is prohibited. As an investigative historian, any names published in my articles are backed by rigorous historical research and public records. Do not use the comment section to float your own unverified theories or personal suspects.

Enforcement: Comments violating these rules will be removed. Repeat or flagrant offenders may be subject to a permanent ban from commenting on this website, or a full account ban.
