CONTENT MODERATION POLICY

I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This policy is intended to establish the moderation standards, review processes, implementation guidelines, consistency principles, and quality assurance criteria for all travel service attribute content submitted to iGuide.ai from suppliers or affiliate partners covering all industries/sectors.

II. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

  • Accuracy and transparency: All information must be factual, truthful and not misleading/ambiguous to tourists.
  • Clear origin: Prioritize information from official/verified sources or responsible authorities.
  • Complete and consistent: Information fields must be clearly stated, correctly formatted, and consistent across the system.
  • Security & Legal: Do not violate applicable laws/regulations; respect personal information and data.
  • Ethics & Customer Safety: Do not post discriminatory, harmful, or false content about prices, security, or health.

III. REVIEW PROCESS

1. Receive requests and documents

  • The system only accepts content that meets the required format: complete fields, no fields missing key elements.
  • Automatically check format; warn if information is missing or structured incorrectly.

2. Check and verify information

  • Check documents: Compare registration/business/service information with business certificate, industry license, official website.
  • Media check: Review format, image quality, verify location (real photos, streetview, walkthrough videos…).
  • Check policies & conditions: Check special content (prices, offers, promotions, cancellation/payment) against relevant terms of supply/documents.
  • Attribute Check: Compare each attribute group against the system catalog, ensuring there is no unapproved extra/additional content.
  • Ethical/Legal Review: Periodic review (auto/manual), filtering of sensitive content, violating keywords, warnings.

3. Check against standards & approval

  • Evaluate all attribute criteria; in case of unverifiable cases, additional/mandatory evidence/commitment is required.
  • Use the checklist to review each industry category and attribute in depth.
  • Provide additional physical evidence (if required: photos, videos, supporting documents; or contact the business/representative directly for verification).

4. Feedback & Updates

  • Clearly state the reason for refusal (if any), request additional information/evidence.
  • Feedback/edit between review rounds; ask submitter to reconfirm commitment if material data (price, benefits, safety features, prizes…) is modified.

IV. REVIEW STANDARDS

V. REVIEW PROCESS

Censorship with new service:

  • Step 1: Check business information (name, code, representative) and license.

  • Step 5: Check the listed price with the website or contract.
  • Step 6: Evaluate the listed awards/honors (check the accompanying award/certificate website).
  • Step 7: Compare cancellation, payment, and promotion policies – check for specific validity and conditions.
  • Step 8: Ethical/Legal Assessment: Ensure no discriminatory content, no safety/pricing misrepresentations, and compliance with accessibility regulations (e.g. disability support).
  • Step 9: Summarize the signs of violation/error and send a final update or confirmation request before approving the display on the system.

VI. EVALUATION & FEEDBACK SYSTEM

  • Automated Rating: Provisional scoring system based on attribute completeness/correctness/applicability.
