Reporting a Terms of Service (ToS) Violation

Anyone can report a terms of service violation. A reporter submits a report by staking funds and submitting a short description of why they believe the job violates the terms of service. The current amount of stake required to submit a report is $50.

A report may be submitted for a job that is Available or Started. Once a job is marked complete, it can no longer be reported.

As soon as a report is submitted, the job is temporary suspended while under review.

Reviewing a ToS Violation Report

During the MVP phase, the report will be reviewed by the engineer DAO core team. This will be decentralized in the future.

The report must be either be accepted or rejected for the job to continue.

When a Report is Accepted

A report may be accepted with a short reason string. The following events occur:

• The reporter is refunded their stake and is rewarded with 10% of the contract bounty
• A $50 fee is sent to the DAO treasury out of the remaining bounty
• The supplier is refunded the remaining bounty
• The engineer is refunded their deposit if any was sent
• The job is marked as Final/Reported and will not be listed on our frontend interface

When a Report is Declined

A report may be declined with a short reason string. The following events occur:

• The reporter loses their staked deposit ($50) and the deposit is sent to the DAO treasury
• The report is deleted
• The job is allowed to continue
