Community rules

Expatlas is a place where people help each other settle in. To keep it that way:

Be relevant and honest

• Review only places you have been to yourself. No fake reviews, review swaps or paid reviews.
• Owners do not rate their own places or competitors. Owners may reply to reviews after confirming "This is my place".
• Tips and answers come from your own experience; if you pass on someone else's, say where it came from.

Respect people

• No insults, threats, harassment, discrimination or hate speech.
• Do not post other people's personal data: phone numbers, addresses, documents, photos of people without their consent.
• Meetups are open and safe. Don't invite people to private homes and don't ask for money to join.

No ads and no scams

• No spam, ads, referral links or selling in chats and reviews.
• No offers to "get a visa without documents", sham employment or getting around Indonesian law.
• Money changers, rentals and services "via DM" are a common scam: be careful and report suspicious messages.

What the law forbids

Drugs, weapons, sexual content, gambling and calls to violence are removed at once and the account is blocked.

How we moderate

Content is checked by AI and by people. You can report any message, review, tip or person via "⋯ → Report"; we act on reports within a day. A violation means the content is hidden; repeated or serious violations mean the account is blocked. Disagree with a decision? Write to hello@expatlas.app.
