Yes! Use the "Report Misinformation" button on the homepage to submit a nomination with evidence.

Question 7

How many times can I nominate?

Question 8

How many times can I vote?

Accepted Answer

Each user gets one leaderboard vote per session — your vote is stored locally in your browser (via cookies/local storage), so clearing your browser data will reset it. Nominations are separate and each one automatically counts as a vote. On individual influencer pages, you also get 3 toggleable upvotes to highlight the most compelling evidence.

If a nomination was submitted with a reporter token (automatically saved in your browser's local storage/cookies), it can be edited using that token. For removal requests, use the contact form.
