One Rule to Rule Them All

Expose the toxic. Don't become the toxic. Everything below is just that sentence with more detail.

What We Love to See

This platform runs on honest experiences. Here's what makes HeyBoss great:

Specific, honest reviews

"My manager took credit for my project in front of the VP" beats "bad company" every time. Details help people.

Fair skull ratings

Rate based on your actual experience, not revenge. A company that ghosted you after an interview isn't a 5-skull — a company that makes employees cry weekly might be.

Constructive replies

Back someone up. Share your own experience. Add context. Disagree respectfully. The comment section should be a conversation, not a war zone.

Using the report button

See something that breaks the rules? Report it. Our moderation team actually reads every report. You're helping keep this place clean.

What Gets You Removed

Zero tolerance. Content that does any of the following will be removed:

Doxxing

Posting someone's home address, personal phone number, private social media, or any identifying info they haven't made public. This is the fastest way to get content removed.

Threats

Threats of violence, physical harm, or "I'll find you" energy. Not here. Not ever.

Hate speech & discrimination

Attacking someone's race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or national origin. You can say "my boss is terrible" — you can't make it about their identity.

Spam & self-promotion

This isn't your marketing channel. No ads, no affiliate links, no "check out my startup" posts.

Fabricated reviews

Don't make up experiences. Don't review a company you've never worked at. Don't create fake drama for attention. If we suspect a review is fabricated, it's gone.

Illegal content

Anything that violates applicable law. If it's illegal to say in real life, it's illegal to post here.

The Line

We know the line can feel blurry. Here's how we think about it:

OK

  • ✓"My boss screams at people in meetings"
  • ✓"The company fired 3 people for taking sick days"
  • ✓"HR ignored my harassment complaint"

NOT OK

  • ✗"My boss lives at [address], go teach him a lesson"
  • ✗"[Slur] boss deserves what's coming"
  • ✗"I never worked there but this company sucks"

When in doubt, ask yourself: "Am I sharing my real experience to help others, or am I trying to harm someone?" If it's the first one, you're good.

How Moderation Works

All content goes live immediately. We don't pre-screen posts because that would defeat the purpose of an anonymous platform.

Our moderation team reviews reported content and proactively scans for violations. If something breaks the rules, it gets removed. Repeat offenders (same visitor ID) may have their content bulk-removed.

Moderation decisions are final but not heartless. If you think we made a mistake, email us.

Consequences

Since there are no accounts, we can't "ban" you in the traditional sense. But we can:

  • •Remove violating content
  • •Remove all content from a visitor ID
  • •Report illegal content to appropriate authorities

We'd rather not do any of this. Just follow the one rule: expose the toxic, don't become it.
