Community Guidelines

CheckThatCall does not accept free-text comments, reviews, or names. Users may only select predefined ratings (Safe, Unknown, Spam, Scam) and categories (Robocall, Telemarketing, etc.). This prevents defamation, hate speech, and content that would require manual moderation.

CheckThatCall is a fully automated directory. Spam scores, summary paragraphs, and directory listings are generated from predefined community tags and search activity — not manually reviewed editorial content. Tags are user-submitted opinions, not verified facts or legal findings.

• Spam scores recalculate automatically when new tags are submitted.
• SEO summary paragraphs are template-generated from tag statistics.
• No employee reviews individual reports before publication.
• Sitemap and directory pages update automatically from database activity.

• Submit tags only for calls you actually received.
• Do not coordinate mass false reporting (brigading).
• Do not use bots or scripts to manipulate scores.
• Understand that tags are opinions shared with the community, not facts.

Automated rate limits restrict how often the same visitor can report a number. This protects against abuse and reduces legal risk from coordinated false reporting.
