Voting on reports and leaving comments

How to upvote or downvote a report on Cora to signal agreement or skepticism, and how to post a comment to add context to the discussion.

Voting and commenting are how the community evaluates reports. Upvotes signal that a report is credible and worth attention; downvotes indicate skepticism or disagreement. Comments let you add context, ask questions, or share what you know.

Both voting and commenting require a signed-in account with a verified phone number. If your phone is not verified, you’ll see a prompt to complete verification when you attempt either action.

Voting on a report

Open any report by clicking its card in the feed, then use the vote buttons on the detail page:

• Click the up arrow to upvote the report (value: +1)
• Click the down arrow to downvote the report (value: −1)

The number displayed next to the vote buttons is the net score — total upvotes minus total downvotes.

You can change your vote at any time. Click the opposite arrow to switch from an upvote to a downvote (or vice versa), or click the same arrow again to remove your vote entirely (value: 0).
