This document specifies the evidence requirements and submission standards for entries in blacklist/README.md. The blacklist maintains a registry of companies implementing illegal overtime practices as defined by Chinese Labor Law. For the contribution workflow, see Contributing to the Blacklist.
The blacklist requires verifiable documentation demonstrating labor law violations. All submissions undergo PR review before merging into blacklist/README.md43-282
Per blacklist/README.md2-3 illegal overtime systems (违法加班制度) are defined as practices violating relevant laws, regulations, and labor contracts through:
These standards reference:

Per blacklist/README.md14-19 evidence falls into two categories with different submission formats:

Sources: blacklist/README.md14-19
External evidence includes publicly available sources that document a company's labor practices:
External evidence should be submitted as direct links to the source material.
Internal evidence comes from inside the company and reveals actual working conditions:
For internal evidence, screenshots must be provided with all personal information (names, IDs, phone numbers, email addresses) redacted.
Sources: blacklist/README.md14-19
Per blacklist/README.md21 all screenshot evidence must have personal information redacted (抹掉一切个人信息), including:
| Information Type | Chinese Term | Must Redact |
|---|---|---|
| Names | 名字 | Yes |
| Internal IDs | 内部ID | Yes |
| Phone numbers | 电话号码 | Yes |
| Email addresses | 邮箱地址 | Yes |
| Other personal identifiers | - | Yes |
Anti-Tracking Requirement: To prevent companies from using digital blind watermarks (数字盲水印) to trace leakers, blacklist/README.md21 recommends using screen photography (屏摄的方法) instead of screenshots. Reference: Zhihu: Digital Watermark Tracking
Screenshot Storage: Internal evidence screenshots must be placed in the blacklist/img/ directory with descriptive filenames.
