Spotwise standards

Content policy

Spotwise is for anonymous, place-based observations that help people understand neighborhood conditions. We review reports before they appear publicly.

What belongs here

Factual observations about public places, services, and neighborhood conditions: access barriers, recurring service issues, pricing practices, visible safety concerns, or property conditions.

What does not belong here

  • Names, photos, usernames, or other personal identifying details.
  • Private-home addresses, unit numbers, or precise residential locations.
  • Dating, roommate, person lookup, or individual accusation content.
  • Threats, harassment, discriminatory content, or calls to target someone.
  • Claims presented as fact when they are not based on an observed place experience.

Moderation and flags

Approved reports can be flagged for a new review. We may remove content that conflicts with these standards. Spotwise does not make legal determinations or provide legal advice.
