Moderation policy

FeeVerdict moderates all user submissions before they affect public medians or appear as verified comments. This policy applies to EN and FR locales.

Review queue

  1. New submissions enter pending status by default.
  2. Comments with URLs are held for manual review.
  3. Outlier fees (>5Γ— band median) are flagged and excluded from medians until nβ‰₯3 similar reports.
  4. Disposable email domains are rejected at submission.

Grounds for rejection

  • Disposable or invalid email address
  • Spam, promotional URLs, or bot honeypot triggers
  • Duplicate or clearly fabricated amounts
  • PII beyond generic city (phone numbers are masked automatically)

Verified comments

We never buy or solicit reviews. Verified comments show fee, generic city, and moderated text only β€” no tracking numbers or full names.

Admin console (internal)

Moderation happens only through the authenticated Super Admin console (cookie session + allowlist). There is no public moderation API.
