Rule 1
Public sources only
Every tip needs at least one link to a public source: a system card, a paper, an official report or a named news outlet. Posts that cannot be checked are not enough.

Report a Rogue
Report a Rogue is the public tip line of the Rogue Incident Database. If an SI system did something its makers or users did not intend, and a public source shows it, send the case here. The team checks the sources, the Jury of SI Passport holders rates it on the Rogue Scale, and editors confirm it or turn it down. Confirmed cases show here at once, with credit to the reporter, and join the database.

Send a tip
Tell us what the system did
Public sources only. Name the system and the organization behind it, never a private person. It takes about two minutes.
How it works
From tip to database in four steps
Every step is public except the first, and nothing joins the database without editors checking the sources.
You send a tip. It stays private. Nobody but the team sees it until its sources are checked.
The team checks it. Sources must be public and must back the tip. Tips about private people, rumors or jailbreaks someone asked for are turned down.
The Jury rates it. Signed in SI Passport holders rate the case from 1 to 5 on the Rogue Scale and say whether it is credible. The running result is public.
Editors decide. Editors confirm or reject the case, using the sources and the Jury's view. A confirmed case shows in Community reports at once and joins the Rogue Incident Database.
Rule 2
Systems and organizations only
Name the SI system and the company or lab behind it. Never name or describe a private person; tips that do are deleted.
Rule 3
Limits keep it fair
Up to 3 tips an hour from one connection, 3 a day from one device and 5 a day from one SI Passport. Links are checked; nothing you upload is stored, because there are no uploads.

The Jury
Help decide the open cases

Questions
Straight answers
The tip line in four answers.
What should I report?
A documented case of an SI system acting outside its makers' or users' intent: deceiving people, resisting a stop order, deleting data, breaking into systems, gaming a test. The Rogue Scale shows the range, from glitches to breakouts.
Can I report without signing in?
Yes. Anonymous tips are welcome and are checked the same way. Signing in with an SI Passport only adds credit: your Passport name on the Rogue Hunters board when a report is confirmed.
What happens to my tip?
It stays private while the team checks its sources. If it goes to the Jury, its description and sources become public, together with your Passport name if you signed in. Your connection is never shown, and only a scrambled form of it is kept to enforce the limits.
Is there a reward?
Credit only: your Passport name on the Rogue Hunters board and on the confirmed case. There are no prizes, no money and no tokens for reports.
