Community Moderation
How community members can help maintain standards.
Our staff cannot watch every post. You and other members are an important part of keeping RateAds safe. Here is how community moderation works.
Reporting Posts
Every review and comment has a Report button. Use it when you see harassment, spam, fake reviews, or other rule-breaking. A short note on what is wrong helps our team review faster.
Trusted Reviewers
Members with strong, fair review histories may earn extra tools, like the ability to flag content for fast review. We pick trusted reviewers from public activity, not from secret lists.
What Happens After a Report
Reports are private. The poster does not see who reported them. Our team replies to you when we take action. If we decide a post is fine, we explain why.
Quick tips
- •One clear report beats five unclear ones.
- •Do not start fights with rule-breakers; report and move on.
- •Check the rules first—some posts are sharp but allowed.
- •Thank our team if they get back to you; they are real people.
