What Happens If Rules Are Broken
How we handle rule violations
We want to keep RateAds friendly and helpful for everyone. If someone breaks the rules, here's what might happen:
- First time: We'll usually send a friendly reminder about our rules
- Repeated issues: We might temporarily restrict some account features
- Serious violations: We may need to suspend or ban accounts that repeatedly cause problems
- Illegal content: We report serious illegal activity to the appropriate authorities
Our goal is always to help people learn and improve, not to punish them. Most issues can be resolved with a simple conversation.
