A release is the starting point, not the conclusion
DissNation is a record of released music, not a rumor board. A suggestion enters a review queue with a source URL, artist, target, and qualifying platform. It does not become a public track merely because somebody submitted it.[1]
Published records connect a track to a normalized artist and one or more targets. That structure lets readers move in both directions: from a recording to everyone named as a target, and from a person’s file back to the recordings that establish the connection.[2]
What qualification evidence does—and does not—prove
Each published record carries checked qualification evidence: a source, platform label, measured play or view count, and verification status. The public suggestion form currently asks for a recognized service on which the track clears 50,000 plays or views.[1]
That evidence establishes that a recording and its audience signal can be inspected. It does not turn allegations made in a lyric into facts. Track descriptions and annotations must attribute accusations to the performer unless an independent source substantiates them.
Chronology is assigned by editors
A shared target is not enough to declare a feud. DissNation creates a feud file only when an editor selects the participants, assigns the relevant recordings, orders them, and records explicit reply relationships where the evidence supports one.[3]
This distinction matters: a target page answers ‘which archived tracks name this subject?’ A feud timeline answers the narrower editorial question ‘which releases belong to this documented exchange, and in what order?’
The archive is designed to be corrected
Dates, targets, sources, and response links are stored as structured editorial data rather than buried in prose. That makes corrections reusable across track pages, artist files, target files, timelines, search results, and the sitemap.
Readers can use the suggestion form to provide a stable source for a missing record. Publication remains an editorial decision, and thin drafts or placeholder records are kept out of search indexes.[1]
