Anonymity & Moderation FAQ
Answers to common questions about anonymity, review screening, reports, rejection reasons, and moderation history.
Common questions
Are reviews anonymous?
They can be. When anonymous posting is enabled for reviews, your public identity is hidden from readers.
Moderators still have limited internal access to the account context needed to enforce safety rules and respond to abuse.
Are reviews published immediately?
No. Reviews are moderated before publication.
That screening checks for privacy risk, impersonation, abuse, low-quality spam, and other policy issues before a review appears on the public site.
What happens if my review is rejected?
Rejected reviews stay visible to you in your dashboard with the moderation outcome and rejection reason.
If the review is eligible for revision, you can edit it and resubmit it for another moderation pass.
Do discussions and comments get moderated too?
Yes. They can be reported by users and moderated after publication.
Depending on the severity and context, moderators may hide or remove a discussion or comment and record the reason in the audit history.
Can I report content that looks wrong or unsafe?
Yes. Reviews, discussions, and comments all have report actions.
Reports go to the admin moderation queue together with the relevant content so moderators can review and act directly from that queue.
How long do moderation records stay around?
We keep moderation and report history for operational, safety, and consistency reasons.
That history helps us explain outcomes, detect repeat abuse, and keep moderation decisions coherent over time.
