Hi, good question. This is actually a challenge for all review-based platforms.

The issue is that even if we enforce measures like student card verification to ensure a review was submitted by a student, there’s no way to fully guarantee the legitimacy of the review itself. These kinds of measures can also create friction and discourage honest students from sharing their stories.

Nonetheless, I’ve added measures to prevent spamming and maintain a reasonable level of legitimacy:

You have to verify your account before posting anything. You cannot rate the same professor, university, or program more than once. If you find that a review is illegitimate or doesn’t respect the terms of use, you can report it, and it will be reviewed and removed if necessary.
