By clicking on a red button that says "I want to report", website users are taken to page where they can give details of their allegations. There they can select one of two buttons, either to remain anonymous or to give their name, and then describe a corruption case in no more than 2,000 words.
Accusers who cannot provide the information under those rules are encouraged to send a letter by post or go to the commission offices.
Wang Jiankang, a farmer from Jianxin village in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, recalled his experience of reporting a corruption case on the Web. He filed over an incident in which he said 83 officials in the city spent public money on overseas trips, and he received feedback from the top anti-graft authority.
He said he is happy that the results of the case were made public nationwide and were cited as a warning for officials at all levels.
Cui Shaopeng, a top official at the commission, said every user will be issued a number for his or her case, which can be used to check on the progress of the case online.
The commission will give priority to cases filed under real names, he said, and will process cases and keep users informed about their progress as quickly as possible.
Gao Bo, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the website and the app are particularly effective ways to uncover and eradicate corruption.
"Internet technology provides a quick channel for filing cases and serves as a platform to make the supervision more transparent," Gao said.
Over the years, the commission's work has remained virtually unknown to most people, and news about corruption cases has become public knowledge through media outlets.
The discipline watchdog began publishing news on its own website on Aug 26, 2013, with the announcement of a corrupt official being held for investigation. Wang Yongchun, deputy general manager of the China National Petroleum Corp, was the first.
Wang allegedly violated Party discipline, a term often used to mean corruption.
His case, which was heard on Monday in Xiangyang, Hubei province, involves alleged bribes of 48.6 million yuan ($7.8 million). The notice signaled the start of a sweeping investigation into China's biggest oil exploration company, where more than a dozen senior executives have been brought down.
Documentary series
A series of documentaries giving details of 30 corruption cases has also been made public on the website. In the documentaries, nearly 100 anti-corruption fighters, whistleblowers and targeted officials give a full picture of how the anti-graft authority handles cases.
The commission's website also provides regular talk shows featuring comments from professionals on the latest anti-corruption moves. Nine shows have been produced since July last year focusing on how to eradicate corruption and build an effective supervision system for clean government.
Gao, who has taken part in the program, said the CCDI allowed commentators to talk on their own and didn't interfere with the opinions expressed during the show.
He said guests in the 30-minute show are picked by the CCDI with officials from its inspection team, the official in charge of the legal department of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and professors from a variety of universities.
"It was relaxing when I took part in the show, and there is no preset script. For me, it is like an academic discussion," Gao said.
The website has publicized contact details, including for its 31 branches nationwide－an unprecedented move for an organization that had been cloaked in secrecy.
