Patterns to watch — so nothing slips through in the dark.

How flags are raised. Six of these — recorded vote, public notice, posted amendments, meeting recording, public comment, and following required procedure — are captured on every Civic News item as a factual yes / no / unknown. A red flag appears only on an explicit “no” in the record, so every flag maps to something documented. See them in action on Civic News.

Have a concern of your own? You can raise a concern about a pattern or a public action — kept about what was done, not personal attacks — through Community Reports, where submissions are labeled by claim status and reviewed. Please keep it to public actions and verifiable specifics.
