Understanding How Published Report Activity Works

What a profile shows

A SafeSide profile is organized by number plate, not by person. It shows how many community reports are currently published for that plate, along with each reporter's own account, the categories they selected, the platform and city, and an approximate incident date. Reports are written in the reporter's own words and are reviewed by moderators before publication.

How reports are published

Reports go through human moderation before they appear. Moderators check that a report is a first-person factual account, that it matches the plate it is filed against, and that no identifying personal information slipped in. A report is published as one person's account of what they experienced, never as a finding or a label on the driver.

What report activity means

Profiles show a simple summary of published reports: how many are currently published, and whether any were filed in the last 90 days. That is all a profile asserts. It does not grade the driver, rank drivers against each other, or attach a safety verdict. Every published report remains one rider's attributed account.

Common questions

Does a profile mean the driver is dangerous?

No. A profile only shows published community reports. Read the reports and decide for yourself.

What does an empty profile mean?

No one has filed a published report for that plate yet. Unknown is not the same as safe.

Can a driver respond?

Yes. Drivers can file a dispute through the dispute process, and the response is published alongside the report.
