How Profile Verification and Moderation Work

Verification and moderation help maintain the quality of public directory content. They are important signals, but they have clear limits that every visitor should understand.

How Profile Verification and Moderation Work

Moderation is the process used to decide whether public content can appear in the directory. Verification is a related publication signal that can show a profile passed a defined review step. Both aim to improve the quality and safety of public information.

What moderation may review

The review process can consider whether a profile is complete and internally consistent, whether public media is suitable for publication, whether contact details align with the profile, and whether content follows platform and legal-review requirements.

What a verification label can mean

  • The profile completed the platform's relevant verification workflow.
  • Public details were checked at a particular point in time.
  • The label may be removed or a profile may be reviewed again when important information changes or a credible report is received.

What it does not guarantee

Verification is not a booking guarantee, a promise of availability, an endorsement of an offline transaction, or a permanent proof of identity. Visitors should still read the current public information carefully and protect their own privacy.

Why reports remain important

Moderation cannot see every change outside the platform. Clear reports help reviewers identify profiles that may be misleading, impersonating someone, using stolen media, or displaying non-consensual content. Include the public URL and a factual description, without posting private data.

The platform reviews content for publication. It does not provide financial, legal, or booking services and cannot take responsibility for private decisions made away from the site.

Keep perspective: verification supports safer browsing, while careful reading, privacy, consent, and reporting remain essential.
