Review guidelines

Trust depends on knowing the rules. This page explains what kind of reviews we publish, what we remove, and how either reviewers or businesses can appeal a moderation decision.

What we publish

  • Reviews based on a real experience with the business.
  • Specific descriptions: what was hired, what happened, what worked or didn't.
  • Honest opinions on quality, punctuality, price fairness, and whether the reviewer would hire again.
  • Information about whether a promised guarantee was honored or not.

What we remove

  • Reviews from people with no documented relationship to the business.
  • Defamation, threats, personal attacks, hate speech, or illegal content.
  • Reviews containing private personal data of the business owner or third parties.
  • Reviews left in exchange for compensation, gifts, or discounts (paid or coerced).
  • Duplicate reviews from the same account on the same business.
  • Reviews violating the law applicable to the user's jurisdiction.

What we do not remove

  • Legitimate negative reviews. Ever. Even if a business pays us.
  • Reviews a business simply disagrees with.
  • Reviews that hurt sales but describe real facts.

How to flag a review

On any review, use the Report link to send a flag to our moderation team. Tell us which rule above the review breaks and why. We aim to respond within 5 business days.

How to appeal a decision

Both the reviewer and the business can appeal a moderation outcome in writing. Email moderation@tsfind.com within 30 days of the decision. We will reply with the reasoning and the final outcome.

Our public commitments

  • Businesses can pay for visibility. They cannot pay for moderation.
  • Moderation rules are public — you are reading them.
  • We publish an annual transparency report once volume justifies it (target: 2027).
