Review Authenticity Policy

Real reviews, honestly labeled.

Effective July 8, 2026

Reviews are the heart of OhSht. This policy is about being straight with you on what that actually means: anonymous, community-submitted, and unverified in the way a notarized document is verified — but held to a clear standard anyway.

Reviews are anonymous, and that's intentional

Because OhSht has no accounts, reviews aren't tied to a verified identity. We believe this lowers the barrier to honest feedback — but it also means we can't vouch for a reviewer's identity, only for the content itself against our guidelines.

Every review is labeled as community-submitted

OhSht never presents a review as officially verified or fact-checked by us. Ratings and reviews reflect one person's experience at one point in time — useful context, not a guarantee.

What we do to keep reviews honest

  • We watch for obvious patterns of abuse — duplicate content, coordinated review bursts, or submissions that don't plausibly describe a real visit
  • We rely heavily on user reports — if something looks fake, tell us
  • We remove reviews that violate our Community Guidelines

As a solo-founder product, this moderation is currently manual and best-effort rather than automated at scale. We're honest about that limitation rather than overselling a system we don't have.

No paid or incentivized reviews

OhSht does not pay for reviews, solicit reviews in exchange for anything of value, or allow businesses to submit reviews of their own listings. Businesses that want to correct factual details should use our Business Correction Policy instead.

Reporting a suspicious review

If a review looks fake, malicious, or clearly wrong, email hello@ohsht.app with details. We look into every report personally.
