The K✦Gem
Community Guidelines
Version 2026-07 · Effective July 21, 2026
The K✦Gem works because people trust what they read here. These rules protect that trust.
Be real
- One account, your real experiences. No fake visits, fake accounts, or impersonation.
- Only claim reviewer qualifications (K-Insider, residence, activity tiers) that are true.
- Own or work at a business? Use the owner-disclosure tag whenever you talk about it.
Keep reviews clean of money
- Never trade reviews for payment, free food, or favors — offering or accepting.
- Perks redeemed through The K✦Gem are automatically labeled on your later reviews of that business. Don't try to hide or bypass the label.
- No coordinated boosting, vote rings, or "review events."
Respect people
Not allowed, ever:
- Threats or encouragement of violence
- Harassment or bullying
- Hate speech or attacks on people for who they are
- Any sexual content involving minors; sexual exploitation of anyone
- Doxxing — posting others' private info (addresses, phone numbers, medical or financial details)
- Revenge content or extortion
- Business-owner retaliation against reviewers
Post responsibly
- Photos: taken by you, at the place, focused on food or the venue. No identifiable children without a parent's OK; nothing shot where photography is prohibited; nothing copied from other sites.
- Links: official pages only. No spam, off-topic ads, or irrelevant links.
- Claims: state opinions as opinions. Accusing a business of crimes or health violations as fact is defamation territory — and it's on you.
- No dangerous or illegal instructions; nothing that infringes copyrights or trademarks.
Help keep it safe
- Report anything that breaks these rules (⚑ on any content). We review reports promptly and remove violating content.
- Enforcement ladder: content removal → warning → feature restriction → tier removal → account termination. Severe violations (safety, minors, fraud) skip straight to termination.
- Appeals: email support@thekgem.com — we answer moderation inquiries within 48 hours.
