Community contributions on Biz Launches: writing reviews, replying, commenting, following companies, and how influence is earned.
Updated
Writing and managing reviews
Founders with a confirmed email address and a live listing can write community reviews of other products. Each product may be reviewed once per person. Reviews must contain at least 80 characters and appear immediately after submission.
You cannot review your own product. The listing owner or a team manager can post one public response beneath each review, and may edit or delete that response at any time. When a reply is first posted, the reviewer receives notification.
The product review register
The register at /reviews ("Review register" in the footer, from the first entry on) holds every Product review on file at Biz Launches, newest first. Each was commissioned by the company and is filed with that label; the company cannot edit it. Community reviews are not filed there but on each company record.
Community comments and discussions
Visitors who are signed in with a verified email can comment on any launch and reply to other comments. This allows ongoing discussion across the platform.
Moderation and reports
Use the Report link to flag any listing, review, response or comment that breaches standards. If 3 separate users report a review or comment, it is hidden pending team review. Reported listings are examined by the team but are never hidden automatically.
Following and updates
Press Follow on any company, product or founder to receive news in your notices. Configure frequency and delivery method at /account/notifications. Posted updates appear on the listing itself and collected at /updates.
Sharing launches
Each launch has a dedicated share page with formatted text ready for X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, WhatsApp and email, plus a button to copy the link.
Influence
Influence is earned through participation: writing reviews and comments, receiving votes on your own launches, and regular sign-ins. Influence cannot be purchased. Members with higher influence have votes weighted more heavily. Check your level at /account/influence.
