Community Guidelines & Review Policy
Last Updated: June 2025
We believe honest, constructive property reviews can empower people to make better housing decisions. These Community Guidelines outline what's allowed—and what's not—on our platform. By contributing to the Platform, you agree to follow these rules.
🏠1. Stay Relevant and Constructive
Your review should reflect your genuine experience with a property or neighborhood—whether as a renter, owner, neighbor, or visitor. We encourage clear, detailed, and useful feedback that can help others make informed decisions.
What's OK:
- Sharing your lived experience in a house, apartment, or neighborhood
- Describing issues with noise, management, maintenance, parking, etc.
- Commenting on your quality of life in the area
What's NOT OK:
- Venting personal grievances unrelated to the property
- Speculative or secondhand claims
🛑2. No Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
For the privacy and safety of all individuals, do not include PII in your reviews.
Prohibited examples:
- Full names of tenants, landlords, or neighbors
- Phone numbers or email addresses
- License plate numbers
- Social media handles or usernames
- Photos of people without their consent
🚫3. Absolutely No Doxxing or Harassment
Doxxing—publicly revealing someone's private or identifiable information—is strictly prohibited and will result in account suspension or removal.
This includes:
- Posting a person's address (outside the scope of property itself)
- Calling out individuals in a targeted, harassing way
- Coordinated attacks on residents, landlords, or other users
❗4. No Hate Speech, Threats, or Offensive Content
We do not allow any content that is abusive, discriminatory, or incites harm.
This includes but is not limited to:
- Racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory remarks
- Threats of violence or harm
- Obscene or sexually explicit language
- Slurs or derogatory insults
🔍5. Be Honest — No Fake or Manipulated Reviews
We prohibit the posting of:
- Reviews written in exchange for compensation
- False reviews intended to harm a person or business
- Multiple reviews by the same user for a single property (unless updating a prior review)
We may remove reviews we believe to be fabricated, manipulated, or misleading.
🧠6. AI Summarization Notice
Your review may be included in summaries generated by AI. We do not alter the meaning of your words, but we may paraphrase and aggregate content to help users understand common themes. By submitting a review, you consent to this use.
⚖️7. Moderation & Reporting
We reserve the right to remove any review that violates these guidelines, or that we determine to be harmful, inaccurate, or out of scope.
If you believe a review violates these policies, please report it via our contact page or email us at: support@homescored.com.
🧾8. Legal Responsibility
Users are solely responsible for the content they post. As outlined in our Terms of Service, we are not liable for user-generated content but will respond to lawful takedown requests.
We're building a community that values transparency—let's do it together.
