Review Guidelines
1. Authenticity Matters:
Share your recent, genuine experiences with our website’s news content. Incentivized reviews will be removed. If you’ve received an incentive, report it via [email protected].
2. Valuable Feedback:
Contribute reviews to provide feedback to companies and share experiences. Every experience, regardless of size, is valuable, whether it’s an interaction with a company’s content or services.
3. Recency Is Key:
Focus on sharing experiences from the past 12 months to ensure relevance. Nostalgic stories are intriguing, but priority lies in recent insights for current consumers seeking up-to-date information.
4. Accuracy and Impartiality:
Reviews must accurately represent your experiences, not fabricated or on behalf of others. If closely associated with, work for, or compete with a company, refrain from reviewing it.
5. Incentive Prohibition:
Engaging in actions involving incentives for reviews is prohibited.
6. Documentation for Verification:
Keep documentation (conversations or screenshots) for potential verification.

Maintain a positive, respectful tone. Avoid harmful, hateful, discriminatory, defamatory, or obscene content. Refrain from falsehoods, bullying, blackmail, threats, or illegal activities.
