When you're browsing or posting on a classifieds platform, safety and trust matter more than anything. At ClassifiedsGuru, we’ve built a powerful moderation system to protect both buyers and sellers from scams, spam, and misleading content.
In this guide, we’ll take you inside our moderation process—and show you why every ad you see is designed to be genuine, verified, and trustworthy.
The very nature of peer-to-peer platforms invites risk:
Fake profiles, stolen photos, and misleading ads can hurt users.
Without moderation, these issues erode trust and reduce conversions.
That’s why we moderate every ad that goes live—and empower users to flag any suspicious content.
ClassifiedsGuru uses a hybrid moderation model, blending automation, human oversight, and community feedback.
Spam word filters, banned links, repetitive images
AI-based duplicate detection (across regions and categories)
URL blocking for blacklisted domains (e.g., Telegram scams)
All ads pass through trained moderation teams
Review includes title quality, grammar, pricing realism, and photo authenticity
Escalation for subjective or borderline ads
Every ad has a “Report” button (Note: Due to spam behavior, this feature is currently disabled. If you come across a suspicious ad, please report it via our contact form.)
Users can flag ads with reason + optional comment
Fast-track review within 24–48 hours
Here’s a quick look at common ad violations and how we handle them:
Your report is sent to our moderation dashboard immediately.
If the ad is clearly in violation, it’s taken down within 24–48 hours.
Users who repeatedly post violative ads are permanently banned.
Note: You can also report users, not just listings.
If you're a verified user:
Your ads go live faster (usually <2 hours)
You get higher ranking and increased ad exposure
Your profile is flagged as trusted, which improves click-through and message rate
Pooja saw a job listing offering ₹45,000/month for data entry. The ad looked real—but the seller demanded ₹500 upfront for a “registration kit.”
She reported it using the “Report Ad” button. Within 12 hours, the ad was removed and the account suspended.
Two other users had flagged the same ad, and moderation kicked in immediately.
This is why community reporting + moderation = safer classifieds.
Usually within 2–6 hours for verified users. 24 hours for others.
