'''WikiDeal's position:''' Pseudonymous accounts are welcome. Email required for contactability, real name not required.

=== Exception: Whistleblower Observatory ===

=== Exception: Whistleblower Observatory and Service ===

~~Protected~~ anonymous ~~submission~~ forms for whistleblowers — ~~separate~~ from ~~wiki editing~~.

A dedicated '''Whistleblower Observatory and Service''' will provide protected mechanisms for reporting misconduct. This is a separate system from standard wiki editing.

==== Principles ====

* '''Evidence-based''' — all reports must be supported by verifiable evidence

* '''Proportional procedures''' — response is proportional to the severity of the reported issue

* '''Presumption of innocence''' — reports are not made public before verification

* '''Protection from defamation''' — the system protects both whistleblowers and those accused from unfounded attacks

* '''Constructive first''' — priority is given to constructive improvement proposals; stronger denunciations only when issues are not acknowledged by the persons concerned

* '''Support resources''' — dedicated support persons help whistleblowers formalize their reports

* '''Anonymous submission''' — protected anonymous forms for whistleblowers, unlike standard wiki editing

==== Three Levels of Reports ====

'''Level 1 — Individual abuse patterns:'''

* Repeated unjustified compensation claims (e.g., claiming objects were damaged during lending, exploiting insufficient condition reports at the start of a service)

* Service providers who fail to deliver and attempt to avoid responsibility

'''Level 2 — Structural community issues:'''

* Organizations with repetitive patterns of consumer rights denial

* Requires citizen mobilization and investigation → corrections impacting an entire user community, not just one individual

'''Level 3 — Public health and safety:'''

* Suppliers of toxic products (e.g., cleaning products presented as harmless when they are not)

* Secondary suppliers selling hazardous materials to service companies

* Requires strong intervention and community-wide corrective measures

==== Inspiration: Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI) ====

WikiDeal's Whistleblower Observatory draws inspiration from the [https://participedia.net/organization/5456 Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI)] — a resolution unanimously adopted by the Icelandic Parliament on June 16, 2010. IMMI was co-founded by Birgitta Jónsdóttir, Smári McCarthy, and Julian Assange, and seeks to make Iceland a legal safe haven for journalists and whistleblowers.
