What happens when a review breaks the rules

One thing, and it is the only measure that exists.

The review is hidden

It stops appearing on the company profile and stops counting towards the rating. A reason has to be given — it cannot be hidden without one — and both the reason and the time are recorded, along with who did it.

Nothing is deleted

A hidden review stays in the database and can be made visible again. That matters if the decision was wrong.

What does not happen

This page used to describe warnings, temporary restrictions, account suspension and a four-step appeals process. None of that exists — there is no way to warn, restrict or suspend an account, and no form to appeal with. Accounts are never touched; only individual reviews are.

If you think a decision was wrong

Write to us and say which review and why. There is no formal appeals procedure, but the decision and its reason are on record, and a hidden review can be restored.
