Key points for reviewers:

• • Be objective and include as much relevant detail as you can
• • Don’t use abusive or offensive language or attack/threaten someone
• • Don’t include any of your personal details, such as, names, phone numbers, email addresses

Inadequate / unbalanced content

If you are reviewing a course/subject, be detailed about your experience with it and consider it as a whole. Try to be objective and form a balanced view. In some cases, we may not accept reviews if we believe the whole subject/course hasn’t been taken into consideration.

Reviews that appear to be for marketing purposes

Reviews that appear overly positive and appear likely to be for marketing purposes may be removed. Our review team has the final say on what may be considered and/or interpreted as a review for marketing purposes.

Personal attacks

Reviews that include personal attacks, threats or insults directed at or defamatory of other people will be removed. Your account may also be banned. If you believe a review breaches this guideline, please report the review.

Personal reprisals against staff or organisations

Reviews that may be interpreted as a reprisal against staff or organisations will be removed and your account may be banned.

Offensive language

Do not use any language that may be offensive. This includes but is not limited to swearing, threats, vilification of race, culture, beliefs, physical or mental conditions, gender, religion age and sexual orientation.

Advertising

Reviews that include or link to any advertising material will be removed. Subject/course recommendations may be acceptable depending on the content. The review team has the final say on what is considered advertising and whether a review is allowable.

External Links

Reviews that include external links that are irrelevant or lead to unsafe and/or offensive websites will be removed. Our review team has the final say on what links can/can’t be included.

Copied/ plagiarised reviews

Do not copy the wording, or a substantial part of the wording, of a review written by a third party, whether the review has been published by us or otherwise, as this may infringe copyright.

Affiliation to the subject/course

Don’t post a review if you are affiliated with the subject/course or were affiliated with it in the past. Affiliation includes being a past or present employee of, or having otherwise worked for, the organisation responsible for the subject or course, and the family and friends of such organisation.

Review verification

Our review team may contact you at their discretion to verify the details of your review. You may be asked to provide additional information as a precondition to a review appearing or being allowed to remain.

• • Removing these reviews
• • Notifying users of the existence of such fake reviews
• • Disabling any subject/courses from receiving future reviews
• • Banning accounts that have posted fake reviews
• • Notifying the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) of the misleading/deceptive conduct; and
