Review Moderation Policy

How we collect, verify, and moderate user-submitted reviews.

Our Moderation Principles

Rankly publishes user-submitted reviews to provide a balanced, community-driven perspective on trading platforms. However, we take moderation seriously to ensure reviews are genuine, useful, and respectful.

Our moderation team reviews every submitted review before publication. We do not allow fake reviews, spam, defamation, or promotional content disguised as reviews.

What We Publish

  • Reviews from verified users who have a real trading account with the broker.
  • Balanced feedback that includes both positive and negative aspects.
  • Specific, detailed experiences (e.g., withdrawal times, spread changes, support interactions).
  • Reviews that are respectful and do not contain personal attacks or hate speech.
  • Reviews that are written in the language of the page they are submitted to.

What We Reject

  • Fake reviews or reviews submitted by brokers, their competitors, or affiliate marketers.
  • Reviews containing profanity, threats, personal attacks, or hate speech.
  • Reviews that are off-topic or unrelated to the trading platform.
  • Reviews that contain promotional links, referral codes, or affiliate URLs.
  • Defamatory statements that cannot be substantiated.
  • Duplicate reviews from the same user.
  • Reviews that appear to be generated by bots or AI without human input.

Moderation Process

1

Automated Screening

All reviews pass through automated filters for spam, profanity, duplicate detection, and suspicious language patterns.

2

Human Review

A moderator reviews each submission for relevance, authenticity, and tone. We may contact the reviewer for clarification.

3

Verification Check

We attempt to verify the reviewer's account status with the broker (where possible) to confirm they are a real user.

4

Publication or Rejection

Approved reviews are published within 24-48 hours. Rejected reviews are not published, and the reviewer is notified with the reason.

5

Ongoing Monitoring

Published reviews are continuously monitored for reports of abuse or inaccuracy. We reserve the right to remove reviews that violate our policies.

Dispute Resolution

If a broker believes a review is false, defamatory, or violates our policies, they may submit a dispute request. We will review the evidence and may:

Request additional documentation from the reviewer
Remove the review if it violates our policies
Add an editorial response to provide context
Invite the reviewer to update their review with corrected information
