Community-driven, transparent watchlist of suspicious Hive accounts & DMCA URLs; a reference for scam, AML, and DMCA monitoring
Watchmen is a simple repository for collecting and sharing lists of Hive accounts (and specific post URLs) that have been flagged for potential fraud, money laundering, or copyright issues. Contributors can add raw input files, which will later be processed and published in various formats.
Use our community-run gitlab instance to contribute: https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/watchmen
Accounts on Steem 💩™, or any other fork are not covered by this watchlist. Always assume non-Hive–native accounts are untrustworthy.

Community submissions:
Add your file to input/community/ and submit a merge request.
- One account per line, plain text (
.txt) - Use a single file with a short, meaningful name
- Append new entries to your existing file, i.e. don't create numbered versions
A 10-account update should show 10 new lines, not thousands of reshuffled ones.
Sorting: not required for append-only updates; sort alphabetically if reorganizing the entire file.
Automated feeds: If you maintain a programmatic list, open an issue so we can add a fetch script.
Entries are community‐submitted and may not be 100% accurate. Downstream consumers (exchanges, dApps) should verify before taking any permanent blocking actions. Corrections and removals can be requested via issues or pull requests. Operated purely on AS_IS_OR_GTFO basis.
