About and privacy
A plain description of what The Roast Room is, how the facts are checked, and how the site handles your data.
What this is
The Roast Room is friendly football banter with receipts. You pick a rival club, hit the button, and read a joke backed by sourced and dated facts. It is built by Fritt as an experiment.
How facts are checked
Every roast has two parts. The joke is an opinion. The facts are sourced and dated. Each evidence item lists the period it refers to, the source with a link, and the date it was accessed. A roast shows the date it was checked, which means a person read each claim against its source on that date. Roasts that fail validation are never shown.
Corrections
If you can show that a roast is wrong, we will fix it or remove it. The most reliable way to reach us is to contact Fritt with the roast and the source that contradicts it.
