What we tell the person doing it

The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an instant answer from the deed itself. A few they ask most:

What photo proof do you need?: Send photo of the result. Rules: No identifiable faces. Photograph the place, items, or result, never a person. If a bystander is in frame, reframe or blur. Never depict anyone who appears vulnerable (e.g. unhoused, distressed, or a child). Capture a BEFORE and AFTER of the marker from the same spot. Use water and a soft cloth only; never abrasive chemicals on historical surfaces.
How much do I get paid?: This deed pays $11 for your time (a fair ~$18/hr for about 35 minutes including travel and proof), and $0 is set aside for any supplies plus fees. Payment releases from escrow once your proof passes review.
Do I need to keep people out of frame?: No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
