Review Policy

Only members with a recorded connection to an organization may review it. Reviews are never removed for being negative.

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

Attorney review required. DRAFT FOR ATTORNEY REVIEW — This document was prepared as an operational starting point for Christian.com. It is not legal advice and has not been reviewed by licensed counsel. Bracketed placeholders such as [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] must be completed and the entire document approved by an attorney before public launch.

Eligibility

You may review an organization only when the platform holds a record of a real connection to it: a lead, a service request match, a conversation, or an active membership. This eligibility check runs in the database, not in the browser, and cannot be bypassed by the interface.

Reviews are rate-limited per author per day to prevent brigading, and every submitted review enters a pending state before publication.

Content rules

A review must describe your own firsthand experience. Reviews are removed when they:

  • Contain unlawful, hateful, sexual, or threatening content.
  • Include private information about staff, clients, or third parties.
  • Discuss doctrinal disagreement rather than the service actually received.
  • Are written by a competitor, an employee, or anyone with an undisclosed conflict of interest.
  • Were solicited with an incentive or written in exchange for consideration.

Ratings

Organization ratings are recalculated automatically from approved, non-deleted reviews. We do not adjust ratings on request, and paid placement never changes a rating or hides a review.

Responses and disputes

An authorized manager may publish one public response per review. Organizations may report a review that violates this policy; moderators evaluate the report against these rules and record the outcome. A review is not removed for being unfavorable.
