Fairness rules currently active
- · Conflict-of-interest items (family employment, vendor ties, disclosure questions) are scored under transparency, not faith and family alignment.
- · Extended-family ecosystem connections (sibling, cousin, in-law, etc.) cap at low severity unless evidence shows failure to disclose under TX Local Government Code Ch. 171 or failure to recuse on a relevant vote.
- · Household conflicts (spouse / partner / dependent on payroll) keep their recorded severity because the financial nexus is direct.
- · Hard overrides only apply to documented child-safety, parent-rights, or sex-based privacy violations with FACT or DOCUMENTED_INFERENCE labels.

Public Discussion
0 commentsConstitutional speech stays visible
RepWatchr does not hide lawful viewpoint disagreement. Ranking can change, but lawful comments are not shadow banned because they are unpopular.
Evidence gets preference
Verified officials, verified parents/residents, named journalists, public-source links, and direct answers rank above anonymous or unsourced comments.
Illegal content is different
Threats, doxxing, spam, private student data, and unlawful harassment are moderation issues, not political disagreement.

A hard override can only be applied from public-source evidence labeled FACT or DOCUMENTED_INFERENCE. Rumor, private claims, and unsourced allegations do not count. A public grade stays pending until a hard override, high-severity negative record, or enough score-moving source records exist. Model version: 2026.04.24-school-board-watch-v2.
