Modora Signal / the Registry
Signal Registry
Signal Radar reads what is being posted. The registry answers the other question: has this account already been a problem somewhere else, and who says so. It is the second of the four parts of Modora Signal, and this page explains where that answer comes from, what it can and cannot cost you, and what the register currently holds.
What it is
A shared record of accounts that Discord servers running Modora have reported, and of communities those reports keep naming. Every entry is carried by evidence: a scam Signal confirmed in a server that invited it, a report somebody sent in with proof, a ban a server chose to share, or a decision a Modora reviewer made.
Servers can ask the register about an account and decide for themselves what the answer means. Most of them start by doing nothing with it except writing it down.
Where the data does not come from
It is not scraped. We do not read the member list of any server, including the ones the register lists. There is nowhere in the system to store one, and that is a design decision rather than a gap waiting to be filled.
Every entry traces back to a party who was willing to be recorded as its source. An entry with no source is refused outright, because evidence that cannot say where it came from is how one angry party manufactures a consensus.
What an entry is worth
- A source counts once. A server that reports the same account every day for a week is still one server disagreeing with that account. What moves a score is a second server that never spoke to the first.
- A reporter with something to gain counts for half. We ask outright, we keep the answer, and it travels with the entry. A competitor is often the first to notice a real scam; they just cannot carry a case alone.
- Association is never enforced. Being around something is real information for a moderator reading a file, and it can never justify more than a line in a log. No setting anywhere raises that.
- Everything expires. Evidence ages out, and a label ends with its last piece of evidence. Only a person can make an entry permanent, and that decision has a name on it.
What it can cost you
Nothing, by itself. The register holds an opinion; a server decides what to do with it, and states in advance how much agreement it wants first: how strong the case has to be, and how many independent sources have to be behind it. Below that bar, the server is told and nothing happens.
When a server does act on an entry, you are told. The notice arrives before the action, says what you are listed for and how long that lasts, and links to the way to contest it. It never names the servers that reported you, and they are never told that you asked.
What this page does not show
Who is listed. There is no public roll of accused accounts here and there will not be one. A list like that is a pillory: it punishes before anyone has decided anything, and it cannot be taken back once it has been read.
The only person who can read a dossier in full is its subject. You can check your own account at any time, and members can read the same record in Discord with /registry me or /checkme.
Asking the registry from Discord
/registry meEverything the registry holds on your own account: what it is listed for, how many independent sources carry it, and until when. Anyone can run it./checkmeThe short answer to the same question: are you listed, yes or no./checkuserWhether another account is listed. In the Modora server it gives the detail; anywhere else it is a yes or no, because an unchecked accusation repeated into a channel is exactly what this system exists to avoid./checkserverWhether a server is listed, from an invite link, an invite code or a server ID. It never looks inside the server./registry checkFor moderators: whether an account is listed, and what this server would do about it under its own policy./registry reportFor moderators: tell the registry what an account did in your server, with a label and a reason. Your server is credited as the source./registry share-bansFor admins: share this server’s ban list as evidence, with a preview first. Nothing is uploaded until you say so./registry unshareWithdraw something your server said. A server can always take back its own evidence./registry sweepFor admins: report which current members are listed. It never acts on anybody./registry settingsFor admins: whether this server uses the registry at all, and whether it only reports or actually acts.What the register holds right now

If you are on it
Contest it in the Modora Discord server. A form is a good way to collect a claim and a bad way to settle one: the questions a reviewer has to ask about somebody else's evidence take a conversation, so an appeal is a ticket and a person answers it. If the evidence does not hold up it is withdrawn and the listing goes with it.
Being cleared sticks: the next report does not quietly undo a decision somebody already made in your favour. If you cannot join a server, the form below reaches the same reviewers.
The rest of Signal
The registry records. It does not act. What happens to an account in a particular server is decided by that server through Signal Shield, and who gets through the door in the first place is Join Guard. The overview walks all four parts in the order they happen, and how Signal works covers what is watched, what is never watched, and who decides.
