Legal & Community Guidelines
Cockroach Network is a civic, satirical, and community-driven platform. It is built to help youth document public-interest issues responsibly, not to harass people or publish unsafe allegations.
NOT LEGAL ADVICE
RTI drafts, reporting prompts, and public resources on this website are informational tools only. They do not create a lawyer-client relationship and should be reviewed before formal filing.
PUBLIC-INTEREST STANDARD
Posts should focus on public systems, exams, jobs, government offices, public infrastructure, institutional patterns, and documented civic issues. Avoid naming private individuals unless the matter is already public, verified, and clearly relevant to public accountability.
CONTENT WE MAY REMOVE
We may remove content containing threats, doxxing, hate speech, sexually explicit private material, spam, impersonation, malware, private phone numbers or addresses, unverified defamatory allegations, or any material that creates unnecessary legal or safety risk.
REPORTING RESPONSIBLY
Strong reports are specific, factual, and evidence-oriented. Include dates, public authority names, notice numbers, exam names, tender details, or official links when possible. Do not exaggerate or make claims you cannot support.
PRE-LAUNCH RECOMMENDATION
Before a national launch, add a dedicated grievance email, takedown workflow, moderation queue, and legal review of final policies. Until then, keep public posting lightweight, factual, and conservative.
