Code of Conduct

1. Introduction

At Best Deals Radar, we aim to build a trusted and engaging community where members can share and discover the best deals while respecting one another. Our platform thrives on transparency, fairness, and mutual respect. This Code of Conduct outlines the principles and expectations that guide our community, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all members.

By participating in Best Deals Radar, you agree to follow these rules. Failure to comply may result in moderation actions, including content removal, account suspension, or permanent bans.

2. General Community Principles

We expect all users to adhere to the following fundamental principles:

• Respect and inclusivity – Engage with others in a polite, constructive, and respectful manner.
• Honesty and integrity – Share deals truthfully and avoid misleading information.
• Transparency – Clearly disclose affiliations or potential conflicts of interest.
• Compliance with laws and regulations – Do not post illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive content.

3. Respectful Behaviour & Communication

To maintain a positive and welcoming atmosphere, all members must:

• Treat others with courtesy and respect—disagreements are natural but must be handled in a civil manner.
• Avoid hate speech, discrimination, harassment, or threats, including but not limited to racism, sexism, homophobia, or personal attacks.
• Keep discussions on-topic and constructive—avoid trolling, excessive negativity, or disruptive behaviour.
• Refrain from using offensive, obscene, or defamatory language, including slurs or explicit content.
• Respect people’s privacy—do not share private or sensitive information about others without their consent.

Violations of these principles may result in immediate content removal and/or account penalties.

4. Deal Posting Guidelines

To ensure the quality and reliability of deals shared on Best Deals Radar, members must adhere to the following:

• Deals must be genuine and accurate – Misleading or fabricated deals will not be tolerated.
• Include key details – Ensure deals contain correct pricing, discounts, availability, expiry dates, and terms where applicable.
• No self-promotion or affiliate spamming – Do not post deals solely to promote your own business, website, or personal gain.
• No excessive reposting – Avoid flooding the platform with multiple submissions of the same or very similar deals.
• Clearly disclose referral links or incentives – If a deal includes personal referral benefits, this must be transparently stated.

Repeated violations may lead to content restrictions or account suspension.

5. Community Engagement & Voting System

Our voting and discussion systems are designed to highlight the best deals and ensure fair engagement. To maintain integrity:

• Vote responsibly – Use voting fairly to reflect deal quality, not personal bias or to manipulate rankings.
• Do not abuse the voting system – Artificially inflating or deflating deals through multiple accounts or coordinated voting is strictly prohibited.
• Engage constructively in comments – Discussions should provide helpful insights or feedback, not personal attacks or off-topic arguments.
• Avoid spamming and off-topic discussions – Stick to relevant discussions and avoid excessive self-promotion.

6. Prohibited Content & Activities

To keep the community safe and compliant with legal and ethical standards, the following are strictly prohibited:

• Illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive content – This includes scams, counterfeit goods, and deals promoting unlawful activities.
• Hate speech, harassment, or threats – Any form of discrimination, intimidation, or incitement of violence is not tolerated.
• Pornographic or sexually explicit material – Any adult content or links to inappropriate websites are forbidden.
• Malware, phishing, or hacking attempts – Any attempts to distribute harmful software or engage in cybercrime will result in immediate bans.
• Impersonation or deceptive behaviour – Pretending to be someone else, including other users or staff, is not allowed.

Users who engage in these activities will face strict enforcement actions, including account termination and potential legal action.

7. Privacy & Security Best Practices

To protect yourself and others on Best Deals Radar, please follow these security guidelines:

• Never share personal or sensitive information in public discussions, including phone numbers, addresses, or financial details.
• Be cautious of scams – If a deal or user seems suspicious, report it to the moderation team immediately.
• Use strong, unique passwords to protect your account from unauthorised access.
• Report security concerns promptly – If you notice a security vulnerability, inform us rather than exploiting it.

8. Moderation & Enforcement

Our moderation team ensures that Best Deals Radar remains a safe and fair platform for all users. We reserve the right to take the following actions if rules are violated:

All moderation decisions are final. However, users may appeal account suspensions by contacting support.

If you encounter behaviour or content that violates this Code of Conduct:

1. Use the reporting via Contact us page.
2. Provide specific details – When reporting, include screenshots, links, or descriptions to help us investigate.
3. Avoid public call-outs – Instead of arguing publicly, let the moderation team handle disputes.
4. Be patient – Reports are reviewed carefully, and enforcement decisions are made fairly.

Your assistance in maintaining a positive community is greatly appreciated.
