Moderation Guidelines
To ensure FutureStack remains a trustworthy place to discover AI tools, we hold our reviews, discussions, and upvotes to high standards. This guide explains how we moderate content and verify user signals. , -1. Upvote Auditing (Anti-Spam)
Our rankings are determined by community upvotes, which makes vote integrity extremely important. We audit votes to prevent manipulation:- Automatic Filtering: We use security heuristics to identify and discard upvotes generated by bots, proxy servers, temporary email addresses, or coordinates indicating click farms.
- Fake Accounts: Upvotes coming from newly created accounts with no profile activity that only vote for a single tool may be flagged and removed.
- No Trading or Buying: Buying upvotes or participating in vote-trading groups is strictly prohibited. Listings found using these services will be penalized, demoted from rankings, or removed entirely from the marketplace.
2. Review Moderation Policy
We encourage honest feedback, both positive and negative. We do not edit reviews; however, we will remove reviews that violate our community standards.Reasons for Review Removal:
- Spam & Promotion: Reviews containing affiliate codes, links to competing tools, or advertising copy.
- Abuse & Harassment: Content containing hate speech, direct insults, defamation, or vulgar language.
- Fake/Unverified Reviews: Reviews submitted in exchange for direct financial payment or reviews written by the tool’s own makers/employees using personal accounts.
- Irrelevant Content: Reviews that do not address the tool’s utility (e.g. general web complaints, gibberish characters, or off-topic rants).
3. Disputing a Review (For Makers)
If a review on your tool page is abusive, inaccurate, or written by a competitor:- Do not engage in a public argument or launch a counter-attack in the comments.
- Email us at team.futurestack@gmail.com with the subject “Review Dispute: [Your Tool Name]”.
- Provide a link to the review and explain why you believe it violates our guidelines.
- Our team will review the dispute within 4 business days. If we find it violates our policy, it will be removed. If it is simply a negative user opinion, it will remain, but you are welcome to reply constructively.
4. Reporting Abuse (For Users)
