The promise

Comments on TraderJury stay public. Critical, contradictory, and uncomfortable comments stay public too. Editorial does not delete trader feedback to protect partners, hide bad scores, or smooth over a subject's reputation. Transparency is the whole point of running a trader-led review site.

What we remove

We only remove content that falls into one of these narrow buckets:

  • Spam — bulk-posted irrelevant content, link-stuffing, automated bot output.
  • Scam promotion — comments shilling unregulated brokers, "guaranteed return" schemes, signal-seller pump campaigns, or pyramid recruitment.
  • Personal attacks — content targeting individuals (named editors, named subjects, other commenters) with insults, threats, harassment, or doxxing. Critique of work product is fine. Attacks on people are not.
  • Illegal content — anything we are legally required to remove (court orders, GDPR erasure requests, defamation rulings, copyright takedowns).

What we don't remove

  • Negative or critical reviews of subjects we cover.
  • Comments that disagree with editorial conclusions.
  • Reports of bad experiences with brokers or prop firms — even when the firm asks us to remove them.
  • Anonymous or pseudonymous comments, as long as the content itself is constructive.
  • Comments that turn out to be wrong, as long as they're posted in good faith. Other commenters can correct the record in public.

Edits and removals are visible

When we remove a comment, we leave a placeholder noting the removal and the reason ("Removed: spam", "Removed: personal attack"). When we edit a comment, the original text remains visible in the edit history. This way, no removal is silent.

Right of reply

Subjects named in a comment thread have the right to respond directly in the same thread. If they have a documented correction (regulator filing, refund record, court ruling), email contact and we'll add an editorial footnote linking to it.

How to flag a comment

If you believe a comment violates the policy, email moderation@traderjury.com with a link to the comment and a brief note on which bucket applies. We review every flag within five business days.

Why this policy exists

Most trading-related review sites aggressively moderate or pay-to-remove negative content. The result: review sites that look great for the brokers paying for them, useless to traders trying to avoid harm. We want this site to be the opposite. So we publish a strict, narrow removal policy and stick to it.

If you ever notice us removing something that doesn't fit one of the four buckets above, call us on it publicly — that's the only way the policy stays honest.
