FLAG

Last updated: Monday, November 20, 2006

Flagging allows the Galaxy users to monitor the content in the community.

When a listing has been excessively flagged, it will automatically be de-listed and put under review. Once a Galaxy Administrator reviews the listing, it may be reinstated or permanently de-listed. If the Administrator believes the listing should be de-listed, the originator of the listing will be notified^*.

There are three categories of flagging.

• Miscategorized
  Listings that belong in another location within the Galaxy Classifieds should be flagged as "miscategorized".
  
  
• Prohibited
  Listings that violate the Galaxy Classified's Terms of Use should be flagged as "prohibited".
  
  
• Spam
  We all know it when we see it, but generally speaking, spam involves listings that 1) just link to commercial web sites and are not in the Services area; 2) Promoting MLM, affiliate marketing programs, link referral code, chain letters, pyramid schemes, etc. 3) Reposting of the same listing (or multiple similar listings) so as to gain a top listing;

Please note, users who randomly and excessively flag listings will themselves be banned. Please flag in accordance with these guidelines.

If you have identified a serious breach of the Terms of Use or if you have identified too many listings to flag individually, please contact us.

^*Only those listings that have a valid e-mail address will be notified.
