Reviewers Code of Conduct

Introduction

Welcome to VPS Advisor! We value your input and aim to create a community where users can share their genuine experiences with VPS providers. To ensure that all reviews are helpful, trustworthy, and respectful, we have established these Terms of Service and Code of Conduct for Reviewers. By using our platform and submitting a review, you agree to adhere to these guidelines. Please read them carefully.

1. Genuine and Recent Experiences

1.1 Authentic Reviews: We believe in the power of genuine experiences. When you write a review, ensure that it reflects your own recent and authentic interaction with the VPS provider. This helps other users make informed decisions based on real-life experiences.

1.2 No Incentivized Reviews: We strictly prohibit writing reviews in exchange for incentives, such as discounts, freebies, or other rewards. Reviews should be unbiased and free from external influences to maintain the integrity of our platform.

2. Personal and First-Hand Accounts

2.1 Write About Your Own Experience: Your review should be based on your own personal experience. Do not write reviews on behalf of others, as their experience may differ from yours. Encourage others to share their own stories.

2.2 Documentation: Keep any documentation or evidence that verifies your experience with the VPS provider. This may include invoices, emails, or screenshots. Such evidence may be requested if your review is flagged or questioned.

3. Respectful Contributions

3.1 Respectful Language: We expect all reviewers to contribute respectfully. Avoid using offensive, abusive, or defamatory language. Constructive criticism is welcome, but it should be delivered in a manner that is respectful to others.

3.2 No Hate Speech or Discrimination: We do not tolerate hate speech or discriminatory remarks based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other characteristic. Such content will be removed, and violators may be banned from the platform.

4. Relevant and Non-Promotional Content

4.1 Stay On-Topic: Keep your reviews relevant to your experience with the VPS provider. Do not include unrelated information, personal grievances, or general comments that are not directly related to the service you received.

4.2 No Promotional Content: Do not include promotional references, marketing material, or links in your review. Reviews are meant to provide unbiased opinions, not to advertise other products or services.

5. Privacy and Personal Information

5.1 Protect Privacy: Do not include personal information, such as phone numbers, addresses, or email addresses, in your reviews. Protect your own privacy and the privacy of others.

5.2 Confidential Information: Avoid sharing confidential information that could harm the business operations of the VPS provider or violate any non-disclosure agreements you may have signed.

6. User Accounts

6.1 Single User Account: You are allowed to create only one user account on VPS Advisor. Your account should be linked to a real person. Creating multiple accounts to submit multiple reviews or manipulate ratings is strictly prohibited.

6.2 Accurate Information: Ensure that the information provided in your user account is accurate and up-to-date. This helps us maintain the credibility of our platform and facilitates communication if needed.

7. Ownership and Management of Reviews

7.1 Ownership: Your review belongs to you. You have the right to edit, update, or delete your review at any time. This allows you to keep your feedback current and accurate.

7.2 Flagging System: Everyone has the ability to flag reviews that violate our Code of Conduct. If a review is flagged, our team will review it to determine if it breaches our guidelines.

7.3 Temporary Hiding of Reviews: If your review is flagged for breaking our rules, it may be temporarily hidden. We will notify you and ask you to make the necessary changes to comply with our guidelines. Once the review is corrected, it will be reinstated.

8. Compliance and Consequences

8.1 Monitoring and Enforcement: We monitor reviews to ensure compliance with our Code of Conduct. Reviews that violate our guidelines may be edited, hidden, or removed. Repeat offenders may have their accounts suspended or banned.

8.2 Legal Obligations: We reserve the right to disclose your information if required by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with legal processes, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users.

9. Updates to the Code of Conduct

We may update this Code of Conduct from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Code of Conduct on our Site. Your continued use of the platform after such updates signifies your acceptance of the revised terms.
