Every listing Warden keeps has an investigation: one page, with its own number and its own address, that holds everything Warden recorded about that listing and everything it could not establish. It is where you decide what to do about a listing and, for a listing that offers a file, where you say whether it is yours.
Moving through a queue
An investigation opened from Review or Overview keeps the queue it came from. The title bar says where you are in it and steps to the one before or after. Down the side, the queue is either a list grouped by design or a strip of photographs with the current one ringed. Point at a photograph for a preview of that listing. Warden remembers which of the two you prefer.
The center: what Warden found
It opens with the listing's photograph beside your own published render of the design it names, and a word on what the comparison answered:
| The comparison says | It means |
|---|---|
| Your published render | The photograph is one of your own |
| Not your published render | It is not one of your photographs. It says nothing about whose design it shows |
| Could not be checked | Warden tried and could not read it. The next scan tries again |
| Not compared | Warden never asked |
Under the pictures, one paragraph: Warden's strongest evidence about this listing, in sentences it can stand behind, followed by your own answer about the design if you have given one. Then what the listing shares, who the seller is, and, where the seller is one of your licensed members, what their entitlement says. See Commercial verification.
Your rules
Each rule of your policy in force is read against this listing and gets its own verdict. There is no combined score.
A rule in possible conflict is shown open, with the sentence that explains it. Every other rule folds into a quiet line grouped by verdict, and the full table is one click away. The block ends by saying what it is: a reading of your rules, not a legal conclusion.
Two questions, kept apart
Is this yours? For a listing that offers a file, Warden asks here and waits: This is my design, Not mine, or Not sure. For a listing that sells printed items, you answer on the seller's page, beside that listing. A takedown goes out in your name, so Warden will not answer this for you. Your answer is recorded against the exact state of the listing you were shown, and it outranks everything else Warden holds about it.
What do you want done? Dismiss as not ours, watch this seller, or hold for evidence. Any of the three moves the listing to Decided in Review, and the record keeps which you chose and when.
Answering the first question does not answer the second. A confirmed design can still be waiting for a decision, and a dismissed listing can still carry your answer about the design.
Acting on it
Beside the questions, under Act on this, sit two doors: Prepare DMCA takedown, and Contact member, which writes to a member of yours. Each is open only when everything it would rest on holds. A closed door says why in one line, and the full list of reasons is a click away. Neither is a setting you can switch on; they open because of what the investigation holds. Actions says what each one prepares.
Everything on the seller
A link from the investigation opens the seller's page, with every listing of theirs Warden kept.
