IMPORTANT — FALSE ATTRIBUTION

Knowingly attributing your own gaseous emission to another person, animal, ventilation system, chair or unidentified atmospheric event may constitute Gaseous Attribution Fraud.

Malicious, retaliatory or knowingly false reports may be referred for compliance review under Registry Regulation GFR-44/9.

Before you begin

You should have a reasonable basis for believing the suspected person was responsible.

Suspicion based solely on reputation, previous emissions, dietary habits or the fact that “they looked guilty” may require additional evidence.

Suspected emitter
A full legal name is not required for this fictional service.
Does your relationship with this person involve an ongoing neighbour, workplace, family or property dispute?
The Registry will determine relevance.
What happened
Did you personally hear the suspected emission?
Did you personally detect an odour?
Did the suspected emitter deny responsibility?
Did the suspected emitter leave the area unusually quickly?
Was a window opened immediately afterwards?
Was an animal present?
Did anyone attempt to blame the animal?
Attribution assessment

Are you sure it was them?

Before continuing, confirm that you genuinely believe the person identified above produced the emission.

False attribution — including transferring responsibility for your own emission to an innocent third party — may constitute an aggravated reporting offence.

How confident are you?

FINAL ATTRIBUTION CHECK

We need to ask this again because Registry experience indicates that people become significantly less certain when personal liability is mentioned.

Are you absolutely sure it was him/her — and not you?
