Code of Conduct

The Epstein Wiki exists to uncover truth, organize evidence, and support justice for survivors. To protect the integrity of this work, all contributors must follow the Code of Conduct below.

Respect Survivors at All Times

  • Treat all survivor accounts with seriousness and care
  • Never harass, blame, challenge, or interrogate survivors
  • Do not speculate about the identities of unnamed victims
  • Do not share personal details that could cause harm
  • Prioritize trauma-informed language and sensitivity

Zero Tolerance for Harassment or Abuse

Contributors must interact respectfully with others.

  • No bullying, personal attacks, or intimidation
  • No misogynistic, racist, anti-LGBTQ, or otherwise hateful behavior
  • No mocking or dismissing survivor testimony
  • Violations may result in immediate removal.

No Defamation or Reckless Speculation

This is a fact-driven investigative archive.

  • Do not invent accusations
  • Do not post rumor as fact
  • Do not “connect dots” without evidence
  • Do not attempt to identify anonymous victims through guesswork
  • When in doubt, ask for moderator review.

Commit to Evidence-Based Contribution

All edits must be supported by:

  • Court documents
  • Depositions
  • FOIA releases
  • Verified investigative journalism
  • Archival records
  • Opinion or speculation cannot stand in place of documentation.

Use Neutral, Professional Language

The wiki is not a blog, forum, or social media page.

  • Avoid sensationalism
  • State facts without embellishment
  • Label allegations clearly
  • Keep tone steady and objective in contributor spaces

Protect Sensitive Information

If a document contains:

  • Home addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Emails
  • Medical information
  • Details about minors
  • You must redact or summarize rather than upload private data directly.

Respect Copyright and Legal Boundaries

  • Only upload files that are public, legally shareable, or released through authorized archives.
  • Avoid reposting proprietary media unless it qualifies as allowable under fair use for investigative reference.

Collaborate in Good Faith

Assume others are trying their best

  • Discuss disagreements respectfully
  • Avoid edit wars
  • Use Talk pages to resolve disputes
  • Welcome newcomers, share knowledge, and guide respectfully
  • Our goal is collective clarity, not individual ownership.

Transparency in Uncertainty

If something is unclear, contradictory, or only partially documented:

  • Mark it as “Unverified,” “Disputed,” or “Unclear”
  • Do not force certainty where none exists
  • The integrity of the archive depends on honesty about what we do and do not know.

Protect the Project Itself

  • No attempts to sabotage pages
  • No deliberate misinformation
  • No editing with political agendas or personal vendettas
  • No doxxing of contributors or external individuals
  • We are here to document truth, not distort it.

Accountability

Contributors who violate the Code of Conduct may receive:

  • A warning
  • A temporary suspension
  • Permanent removal depending on the severity and frequency of violations.
