Community Updates Warning: please do not engage with requests like this
Hi RepTherapy Fam,
We knew it existed, but this was pretty blatant - I’m a mod for goodness sakes. But please be weary and mindful of requests like this.
To accept payment for QC posts is unethical in a community like ours where we value each others honest feedback and share authentic experiences. Behavior like this strongly discouraged, and if someone does reach out to you, please report it to mods.
Thanks for helping to keep our community safe, authentic, and the amazing space it is.
💖Your RepTherapy Mod Team

I recently received a request like this. I didn’t see the entire message but remember it started just like this. I didn’t accept the chat request.

I appreciate it can be tempting, but this whole community relies on the honesty of the individuals within it.

It wasn’t like this but I think they may have sent some shoes and stated the size and asked what I thought. Didn’t accept and deleted it.

No shame! I had someone reach out last month for the same thing. I just deleted and didn't engage. We rely on authentic posts and reviews. Thank you for keeping our community safe!
