Our platform values diversity and the free exchange of ideas, but it should always be done in a respectful and constructive manner. Here are our tips for writing a great review.
Defamation can be a complex concept, and as a platform that serves both consumers and businesses, we strive to find a balance between allowing everyone to share their experiences and protecting individuals and businesses from unjust harm. Here’s a brief explanation:
Balancing act:
Balorá.online is committed to providing a platform for honest and transparent reviews, whether they are positive or negative. However, we must also be responsible in addressing content that could significantly damage someone’s reputation or cause substantial financial harm to a business.
Powerful reviews speak for themselves:
The most impactful reviews focus on describing the experience and allow readers to form their own conclusions based on the information provided.
Dispute resolution:
We do not mediate disputes or make determinations about the factual accuracy of a review. Balorá.online is a consumer review platform, not a regulatory authority or a court of law.
Our aim is to foster a space where individuals can express their opinions and share their experiences while maintaining fairness and responsibility. We appreciate your understanding of our approach to handling potentially defamatory content on Balorá.online.
Balorá.online is a platform dedicated to sharing genuine experiences and reviews, so it’s important to keep your reviews relevant and free from promotional references, marketing material, or links. This is not a space for sales, offering discount codes, forming action groups, or personal advertisements.
Guidelines to follow:
Ensure your review focuses on your experience with a local business, providing valuable insights to other users.
Refrain from including promotional content that does not contribute to the review’s authenticity.
By adhering to these guidelines, you help maintain the integrity of the platform and ensure that reviews are informative and unbiased.
To maintain a safe and respectful community, it’s essential to safeguard your own sensitive or personal information, as well as respecting the privacy of others when writing reviews on Balorá.online. Public reviews should not contain any of the following information that could be used to track, identify, contact, or impersonate someone:
Personal information:
Names, Phone numbers, Addresses, Email addresses or any other personally identifiable information
Our commitment to privacy and safety:
We prioritize the privacy and safety of all users and expect you to do the same. Please ensure that your reviews do not compromise the confidentiality of yourself or others.
By upholding these guidelines, you help create a secure and respectful environment on Balorá.online where the privacy and safety of all community members are valued and protected.
To contribute reviews on Balorá.online, you’ll need a user account. Similar to your first kiss, you only get one user account, and it should represent a real person. Please ensure that your account details, including your username, profile description, and picture, accurately reflect who you are. Impersonation and content that is harmful, hateful, discriminatory, defamatory, or obscene are not allowed, as your profile is visible to everyone.
User account guidelines:
- Create an account that genuinely represents you and your experiences.
- Your account should be connected to a valid, permanent email address in case we need to contact you.
Editing your account:
Your account may be automatically created or pre-filled when you sign up via specific methods, such as through an email invitation link from a company. You can always edit your account details to include only the information you want publicly displayed.
Your reviews on Balorá.online are your own, and you have the ability to edit, update, or delete them whenever you wish. Here’s how you can manage your reviews:
- Ownership and control: Your reviews belong to you, giving you the freedom to make changes as needed.
- Update your reviews: You’re encouraged to update your existing reviews if you have additional information to share about a particular experience.
Multiple reviews for a business:
It’s acceptable to write more than one review for a business if you’ve had multiple experiences. However, it’s important to avoid bombarding a business with excessive reviews, as this may not be helpful for other users or the business itself.
By having the ability to edit and remove your reviews, you retain control over your feedback and contribute to a more informative and balanced platform.
