Statement from GazaVetters team
From the very beginning, our mission has been to provide a reliable, fair, and ongoing verification service, addressing one of the biggest challenges facing donation campaigns: verifying the accuracy and credibility of their information.
Through careful review and consistent follow-up, we have worked to build trust and transparency in a space where both are urgently needed.
Over time, GazaVetters has earned the trust and respect of many, thanks to the precision, honesty, and integrity that define our work. Maintaining these values has not been easy our entire team is based in northern Gaza, and we have continued our efforts despite unimaginable hardships, repeated displacement, lack of food and electricity, destroyed homes, and frequent communication blackouts.
Clarifying Our Flagging System
Recently, we have noticed some confusion regarding the statuses we use when we flag a campaign.
We would like to clarify what each term means and prevent any further misunderstandings.
*Spam refers to unwanted or repetitive messages that are irrelevant, annoying, or purely promotional (such as random comments or direct messages).
*Bot refers to an automated account, not a real person that posts or sends messages using scripts or automated tools.
Many spam messages originate from such bot accounts.
When a campaign or account is flagged as Spam/Bot, it means we have detected patterns of automated or repetitive behavior that may disrupt or mislead the community.
A scam involves deception, manipulation, or unfair behavior, whether or not it is technically illegal.
* Providing false or misleading information,
* Extorting others or demanding money in unethical ways,
*Threatening or harassing other blogs or organizers with hate campaigns.
*Forging the verified names in the spreadsheet or manipulating their status.
When a campaign is flagged as a Scam, we issue a warning to everyone to avoid engaging with or donating to that campaign until further notice.
This status means the campaign itself is still valid and legitimate, but some information requires correction or renewal.
*The campaign link no longer works,
*There is duplicate or outdated information,
*The organizer has changed details that need verification.
In such cases, we pause the verification temporarily until the updated details are confirmed.
👉 For any flag not mentioned above, you can contact us to clarify its meaning and level of importance.
We also understand that mistakes can happen, and from our side, we believe every campaign deserves a second chance once corrections are made and transparency is restored. 💚
Our goal has always been, and will always remain, to protect both donors and organizers alike, and to ensure that help reaches those who truly need it.
We appreciate the community’s ongoing trust, patience, and vigilance as we continue this work even under the most difficult circumstances.
