Community Guidelines

Last updated October 21, 2026

GearReel is where surfers show and review the gear they actually use. Keep it useful, honest and friendly.

Be real

• Post photos, clips and opinions of gear you have used or tested.
• Tag the right model and, if you can, the size and conditions.
• Don't post reviews of gear you haven't used, or fake or paid reviews without saying so.

Be respectful

• Disagree with the gear, not the person.
• No harassment, bullying, threats, hate speech or discrimination.
• No sexual content, and nothing that sexualises minors — ever.

Be safe

• No content that encourages dangerous behaviour, illegal activity or self-harm.
• Don't share other people's private information.

Brands and creators

• Brands post from their verified page and mark sponsored content clearly.
• No spam, repeated promotional posts or misleading claims.

Respect others' work

• Only post photos and videos you own or have permission to use.

Reporting

If something breaks these rules, use "Report" on the post or hold a comment to report it. Posts with several reports are hidden until we review them. We may remove content or close accounts that break the rules.
