Practical steps

Assess patterns, evidence, and context without accusing someone solely because of writing style, score, or one unusual detail.

  • Read the text alongside its date, category, job label, and any business response.
  • Look for checkable service details rather than generic praise or attack.
  • Consider repeated patterns over time, but never treat one signal as proof.
  • Report the concern privately with a specific reason and let moderation examine the available evidence.
