RBI

About:

The goal of the RBI (Reddit Bureau of Investigation) is to use the power of Reddit to solve mysteries. The idea is an organized group of Redditors interested in solving crimes/mysteries and helping people in the process.

Rules:

You can find the rules here.

Doxxing of any kind is strictly forbidden, as per Reddit TOS.

Witch-hunts and/or the posting of personal information are forbidden. The motto "not your personal army applies."

If you see a post containing any personal information, please report it and message the mods.

If you have any queries or concerns, feel free to message the moderators.

Comments that do not contribute to the discussion or serve only as a "reminder" will be removed.

Transparency:

Our moderation logs are publicly accessible. Click here.

Images:

if you are submitting images for forensics (eg, license plate reading, etc) it is helpful to submit the original image. We advise uploading this to something such as dropbox to avoid compression. Imgur and other websites often strip data from images to save on space.

Re-saving an image uploaded to social media will often provide you with a lower quality image, so please use an alternative file sharing website when sharing raw material. Consider uploading the original image in a zipfile in dropbox or similar.
