Community rules
Real things, by real people
Post what you actually did, saw, sell or run. No AI-generated photos of real places or businesses, no stock photos passed off as your own.
Reviews are sacred
Review places you have genuinely used. No reviewing your own business, no trashing competitors, no paid or swapped reviews. We check, and we remove.
Keep offers honest
An offer must be real, current and redeemable as described. Expired or misleading offers come down.
No spam
Do not blanket-post the same content across the feed, comments and chat. One good post beats five copies.
Be sound
No harassment, hate or pile-ons. Disagree with the review, not the reviewer. Chat is friends-only by design; keep it that way in spirit.
Rights and privacy
Only upload photos and video you have the right to share. Get a yes before posting other people, especially children.
See something off?
Every post has a flag option, and flags go straight to a person. You can also message the team in chat. Repeated or serious breaches mean removal from the Circle.
