Misuse of review reporting by businesses
At BritainReviews, we prioritise genuine opinions with a dedicated team filtering out unreliable reviews. We take all reports and complaints seriously, ensuring a fair process.
Efficiency is key, and we oppose defamation and misuse of the reporting feature. All opinions are valuable, and negative feedback isn’t grounds for removal.
Do Companies Have Privileges When Reporting Comments?
No, they don't. All reports, whether from companies or users, undergo the same rigorous evaluation. This ensures fairness and prevents any undue influence.
Our complimentary feature allows both users and businesses to defend against slander and false opinions. All listed stores and services are open to potential criticism and subjective views.
Consequences of Misusing the Reporting Option
Companies cannot misuse this tool to invalidate opinions. Abusers face penalties, including account suspension. Each report includes a reminder of our standards.
What Constitutes Misuse of the Report Function?
We treat each case individually but consider the following as misuse:
Malicious Reporting
We monitor reporting histories. Businesses unjustifiably reporting negative feedback while ignoring positive reviews will face deactivation and accountability.
Reporting Strong Criticism
Customers have the right to express dissatisfaction. Strong opinions are not reportable based solely on intensity.
Reporting Without Justification
Repeated unjustified reporting wastes time and will result in penalties, including temporary or permanent account suspension.
