Community Guidelines
Our community guidelines ensure a respectful and constructive environment for all users.
Review Guidelines
At OurSchools, we believe in fostering a respectful and constructive community. Our platform is built on trust and authenticity, and we expect all reviews to reflect these values.
Key Principles
- Be honest and factual in your experiences
- Maintain a respectful tone, even when sharing criticism
- Focus on constructive feedback that can help others
- Avoid personal attacks or inflammatory language
- Respect privacy - don't identify specific students or teachers
Moderation Process
All reviews are subject to moderation before publication. Reviews that don't meet our guidelines will not be published or may be removed. While we strive to maintain quality content, we are not liable for user-generated content on the site.
Verification Process
We use a combination of AI-driven analysis and human moderation to verify reviews and maintain the integrity of our platform.
How Verification Works
- Initial AI Assessment: Reviews are first analyzed by our AI system for authenticity and compliance with guidelines
- Most reviews meeting our AI criteria are approved automatically
- Some reviews may require additional verification
- For enhanced verification, we may request supporting documentation
Supporting Documentation
When additional verification is needed, we may request items such as:
- School timetables (with personal information redacted)
- School newsletters or communications
- Other relevant documentation that can verify your connection to the school
Privacy Note: We never request or store personal identification of students. Any documentation should have sensitive information redacted before submission.
Content Removal
We reserve the right to remove content that:
- Contains hate speech or discriminatory content
- Includes personal attacks or harassment
- Reveals private information about individuals
- Contains false or misleading information
- Violates our community guidelines
