WhipJury works because people rate honestly and talk to each other like adults. These guidelines are not complicated. Here is what we expect.
Rate the Car, Not the Person
Rate each submission based on the vehicle itself, not on who posted it.
If you have personal feelings about the owner, set that aside and evaluate the car.
The whole point of WhipJury is to build honest, crowdsourced ratings. Gaming votes defeats the purpose for everyone, including you.
No Rating Manipulation
One account per person. Period.
Do not coordinate with others to push ratings in a specific direction on any submission.
Do not use bots, scripts, or any automation to rate or vote.
Do not create faceoffs solely to farm wins for your own submissions.
If you are caught doing any of the above, your accounts will be banned.
Keep Comments Civil
Talk about the car, not the person who posted it.
Disagreement is fine. Personal attacks are not.
No hate speech, slurs, or threats of any kind.
No harassment of other users, on or off the platform.
No Spam or Self-Promotion
Do not submit the same vehicle repeatedly.
Do not post the same comment or link over and over.
Do not use WhipJury primarily as a marketplace or advertising platform.
Keep It About Cars
Only upload photos of vehicles. No memes, screenshots, or unrelated images.
Do not upload photos containing nudity, graphic violence, or illegal activity.
Do not post content that is clearly off-topic or intended to troll.
Protect People's Privacy
Do not post personal information about other users or private individuals. This includes addresses, phone numbers, workplaces, and anything else that could be used to identify or harm someone.
If a license plate is visible in your photo, that is your call. Do not post other people's plate numbers with identifying context.
Report Violations
If you see something that breaks these guidelines, use the report button. We review reports and take action.
Do not respond to bad behavior by breaking the rules yourself. Report it and move on.
Consequences
Depending on severity, violations may result in a warning, a temporary mute, or a permanent ban.
Moderators use their judgment. Not every situation fits neatly into a rule.
Appeals
If you think an action taken against your account was a mistake, you can appeal by emailing [email protected].
