Flagging

Learn how to highlight issues with protocol data or specific users

What does flagging do?

Flagging allows protocol users to alert there is an exceptional reason for data or a specific user to be inspected. Flagging is not an incentivized action, but rather provides good actors an opportunity to improve the quality of the knowledge graph. Users can flag triples and users from the dApp or protocol API.

Types of triple flags

High-Risk URLs

Links that are misleading or deceptive to their visitors - such as those leading to scams or phishing.

Spam

Unwanted statements submitted with ulterior motives, such as advertising, spreading false information, or otherwise damaging the protocol or agents contributing to the protocol.

Factually Incorrect Data

Data that is known to be factually incorrect, as verified by an alternate citation source claiming that the statement is incorrect.

Types of user flags

This user repetitively votes incorrectly for their personal gain and to the detriment of the protocol.
