KittyLaunch uses reports and moderation to keep the platform useful, fair, and safe.
Users should be able to discover real products, trust visible offers, and support launches without spam, scams, fake activity, or misleading content.
Why moderation exists
Moderation protects:
- users who browse products
- creators who launch honestly
- leaderboard fairness
- deal quality
- review credibility
- platform safety
- search and discovery quality
Without moderation, spam and manipulation can make launch results less meaningful.
What you can report
You can report:
- products
- deals
- user profiles
Reports help KittyLaunch identify issues that may need review.
Reporting a product
You may report a product for reasons such as:
- spam
- misleading information
- inappropriate content
- copyright or IP violation
- scam or harmful intent
- unsafe links
- suspicious activity
- impersonation
Use the report option on the product page when available.
Reporting a deal
You may report a deal if:
- the promo code does not work
- the discount is no longer available
- the deal link is broken
- the offer is misleading
- the deal is fake
- the deal sends users to an unsafe page
Creators should test deals before publishing and remove expired deals quickly.
Reporting a user
You may report a user profile for reasons such as:
- spam
- suspicious activity
- inappropriate content
- impersonation
- fraud
- scam activity
- abusive behavior
User reports help protect the community from harmful accounts.
Duplicate reports
You can report the same target only once.
If you already reported a product, deal, or user, submit additional information to support only if needed.
Do not submit repeated false reports.
What happens after a report
After a report is submitted, KittyLaunch records it for review.
You may receive a thank-you notification or email.
Admins may review:
- the reported product, deal, or user
- the report reason
- supporting details
- product activity
- account activity
- voting patterns
- previous reports
- platform risk signals
Reports do not always lead to action. Some reports may be rejected if there is not enough evidence or the reported content does not break rules.
Vote moderation
KittyLaunch may review suspicious upvotes.
Suspicious upvotes may be invalidated.
When a vote is invalidated, KittyLaunch may reduce the product's upvote count by the vote's weight.
Invalid votes do not count toward rankings, leaderboards, or Weekly Awards.
KittyLaunch has the right to invalidate suspicious votes to protect leaderboard fairness.
Deal moderation
Deals must be real and working.
If a deal is reported and found to be invalid, KittyLaunch may remove it.
The product owner may receive a warning email.
Repeated fake or misleading deals can reduce product trust, reduce visibility, or lead to stronger account action.
Review moderation
Reviews should be real and useful.
KittyLaunch may remove fake, spammy, abusive, or low-trust reviews.
Fake reviews can reduce product trust and may affect product visibility.
Do not buy reviews, create fake review accounts, or ask users to copy the same review text.
Account suspension
KittyLaunch may suspend accounts to protect the platform.
Reasons can include:
- spam
- fraud
- abuse
- repeated policy violations
- harmful activity
- serious report outcomes
- suspicious automation
If your account is suspended, you may not be able to log in.
Appeals
If your product is banned, you may be able to submit an appeal from your dashboard.
An appeal asks KittyLaunch to review the decision again.
Appeals are most useful when you have fixed the issue or can explain why the decision was incorrect.
How to write a good appeal
A good appeal should be clear and specific.
Include:
- your product name
- what happened
- what you changed
- why the product should be restored
- any useful evidence
- a short and respectful explanation
Do not send a long angry message. Make it easy for the reviewer to understand the situation.
What happens after an appeal
Admins can approve or reject an appeal.
If approved, the product may return to Draft status so you can edit and republish it.
If rejected, the product stays banned.
Appeal results may be sent through email or in-app notification.
False reports and abuse
Reports should be used honestly.
Do not report competitors just to hurt their visibility.
Do not submit false information.
Abusing the report system can lead to account action.
What to do if your product is moderated
- Review your product page carefully.
- Check your website URL.
- Remove misleading claims.
- Remove fake or expired deals.
- Stop suspicious voting or review behavior.
- Improve screenshots and descriptions.
- Submit an appeal if the dashboard allows it and you believe the decision should be reviewed.
FAQ
Will every report lead to action?
No. Reports are reviewed, but action depends on evidence and platform rules.
Can my product be demoted without being banned?
Yes. Demotion reduces visibility without fully removing public access.
Can suspicious upvotes be removed?
Yes. KittyLaunch can invalidate suspicious upvotes and reduce product counts by the vote weight.
Can a Featured product be moderated?
Yes. Featured status does not protect a product from reports, vote review, demotion, or banning.
Can a verified product be moderated?
Yes. Verification is a trust signal, not immunity from rules.
Can I appeal a demotion?
If an appeal option is available or support review is appropriate, you can contact KittyLaunch with details.
What should I include in an appeal?
Explain what happened, what you fixed, and why the product should be restored. Include the product name and any relevant evidence.
Can fake reports hurt my product?
Reports alone do not prove wrongdoing. KittyLaunch reviews context before taking action.
