We will consider removing content that is:

  • Policy Violation: The report violates our Terms of Service
  • Court Order: A valid court order requires removal
  • Resolved Dispute: The underlying issue has been resolved and documented

What We Cannot Do

  • Remove reports simply because they are negative or unflattering
  • Disclose the identity of the person who submitted the original report
  • Guarantee removal without sufficient evidence
  • Provide legal advice or mediate disputes between parties

If your dispute is denied and you have new evidence or information, you may submit a follow-up appeal. Please clearly mark your email as "APPEAL" and include the original dispute reference number.

Good Faith Policy

We take all disputes seriously and aim to resolve them fairly. However, we also protect the integrity of legitimate reports. Frivolous or bad-faith disputes may result in no action. Abuse of the dispute process may result in being blocked from future submissions.

⚠️ Important Notice

Submitting false information in a dispute request, including fraudulent evidence or impersonating someone else, may have legal consequences and will result in rejection of your request.
