Community Content Policy

We offer a wide variety of forums, including Reviews, Guides, member-created product descriptions, and more. This gives you access to factual information, personal opinions about products, and guidance on various topics and allows you to publish your opinions and content on our site.

Community content published or edited by TreasureHunt.com community members is solely the opinion and responsibility of the person posting the content. All content must comply with our TreasureHunt.com User Agreement and this policy.

See the Examples section below for examples of content that aren’t permitted. These examples provide guidance for self-publishing content on our site but shouldn’t be viewed as a complete list.

Exceptions to these policies may be found in the Additional Information section of this page.

Make sure your content follows these guidelines. If it doesn't, it may be removed or hidden, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including restrictions of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account. To report violations of this policy, click the Report link in the content in question (Review, Guide, or member-created product description).
