Hints about accounts that other servers and ScammerAlert know as scammers.

What happens

The Defendr network

Defendr keeps a network list of accounts that spread phishing links, harmful files or takeover attempts across servers. Entries of its own need evidence and two reviewers. It also takes over the entries of the ScammerAlert community lists automatically, without checking them, and marks them as such. Right now every listing is a hint only: your moderators see a neutral note in the log, and nothing happens automatically. On the Global network page you decide whether your server uses reviewed listings and whether it sees ScammerAlert hints.

How a listing works

A listing is proposed with evidence, reviewed by two people and then active for twelve months, with a re-review two weeks before it ends. Anybody on the list can appeal; while an appeal runs, the listing is frozen. Entries of the ScammerAlert lists are taken over automatically without a review and shown only as a warning; Defendr never acts on them by itself, and a ban or kick a moderator chooses on the join card is that moderator's own case. They end when ScammerAlert withdraws or deletes the entry.
