Moderation Policy

Moderation is done by people. We do not use automated systems to decide whether a complaint is published.

This is a plain-language summary published with the first version of Complain Here and is not legal advice. Complain Here is an independent platform. We are not a government agency, a law firm, or an official dispute-resolution authority.

The queue

Every new complaint enters a review queue. Simple text patterns can flag a complaint for extra attention — for example an apparent card number — but a moderator makes every decision.

Possible outcomes

Published as written. Returned to you for an edit with a reason. Removed if it breaks our content guidelines or the law.

What we do not do

We do not remove a complaint because a company asks us to, and we do not rewrite or soften your allegations.

We do not judge whether a company is legally at fault.

Appeals

If your complaint was removed and you believe that was wrong, reply to the notification and a different moderator will look at it.
