KiasuParents.com’s Policy on Responsible Comments

Submitted by Chief Kiasu

As an independent review site on edu-care products and services in Singapore, KiasuParents.com maintains an open policy on comments and reviews on service providers created by the community at large.

However, we have noted that, out of frustration, some members of the public may create accounts on our Portal just to post negative comments on service providers. At times, the content is copied verbatim from other sites, signifying an ongoing online campaign to discredit the service provider.

While we reserve our judgement on the authenticity of such posts, such posts do not conform to our principle of responsible views from the public. As such, we will embargo any views posted by users of less than 50 useful posts in our Forums or the Portal, if the views target a specific service provider. These posts will remain in our closed area until the poster has proven him/herself to be an authentic user before we release them back into the open. 

Also, while we will not release information about our members to any service providers, please be mindful that members are still subject to the anti-libel laws of Singapore. Members who post negative posts about service providers should do so using their real names, and they remain fully responsible for what they say. KiasuParents.com cannot be held responsible for members’ comments.

Please note that the restriction of your post do not reflect our opinion on the truth of its content. Our goal is to let our posters be fully responsible for their views.

At the same time, KiasuParents.com deems service providers masquerading as satisfied customers to be misleading the community. We will ban such users without warning, and publicly post their activities and who they were advertising for.

We seek the understanding of the community on this policy and hope that it will improve the quality of information being exchanged on KiasuParents.com.
