[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Here's an article about the Black at GDS account: https://theaugurbit.com/2020/10/12/through-instagram-account-current-and-former-black-students-offer-scathing-criticism-of-gds-record-on-race/

From that piece: "At the start, Black at GDS received submissions of stories through a Google form, but eventually changed to accepting them in Instagram direct messages to better ensure the anecdotes’ authenticity. The account’s managers censor profanity and occasionally reject outlandish, inauthentic posts."

By their own admission, the account managers in that case took anonymous submissions via a Google form at the outset, like a lot of the other accounts - it was a good move to change to DMs, which are not prone to the same issues. But even they admit that they receive troll submissions and have to use their judgment.

Do I think 75% of the submissions on these accounts are real? Definitely. Are there fake ones mixed in? Absolutely. It's no different than your typical DCUM thread with someone going on about Crimson Commons and the Roster of Aces.[/quote]

Why are posters posting about GDS and Sidwell on a thread about the Cathedral schools?[/quote]
Because we're talking about how to interpret the submissions to these Instagram accounts, and a common issue with virtually all of them. [/quote]

No not really. YOU are talking about that. Others are not because they can see that many if not most of the STA posts have names attached to them or they have current students or alums verifying it happened in the comment section. Different scenario. [/quote]
