<h2>Instructions on Submitting Reports</h2>
<p>Submitted reports are moderated by a team of volunteers, who publish updates to the crowdmap, twitter and facebook.</p>
<p>OPEN EGYPT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AUTHENTICITY OF PUBLISHED REPORTS.<br /> Where possible, reports are verified before publishing. However, not all reports can be verified, and we encourage users to help establish credibility of reports through the credibility voting tool on the report itself.</p>
<p>Submissions that are offensive, incite violence, promote political or religious aims, or that are not informative will not be published.</p>
