Reporting a listing

Reporting a listing

Because anyone can create a listing for any tool (see create ≠ own), directree needs (and has) a proper abuse path. Every tool page has a Report button.

When to report

• Wrong information: facts on the listing are incorrect or badly outdated.
• Spam: the listing isn't a real tool, or exists purely to plant links.
• Malicious content: the linked site is harmful or deceptive.
• Impersonation: someone is posing as the tool's owner or misrepresenting the company.

How it works

1. Open the tool's page and hit Report.
2. Pick the reason and add a short note explaining what's wrong.
3. The report lands in the moderation queue, where reports are reviewed and resolved: corrected, hidden, or removed as appropriate.

Before you report

• It's your tool and the info is wrong? The stronger fix is to claim the listing. You get permanent editorial control and the ★ Founder-edited label, instead of a one-off correction. Report impersonation; claim inaccuracy.
• The AI's opinion seems off? ✦ AI-inferred fields are labelled as the AI's read precisely because they can be imperfect. See How AI-inferred fields work. A wrong AI opinion on your own tool is a claim-and-correct case; a wrong fact on any listing is a fair report.

Why this matters

The honesty model only holds if bad listings get fixed. Labels handle "who said this"; reporting handles "this shouldn't be here at all". Together they're the reason an open, anyone-can-submit directory doesn't decay into slop.
