How Crowdsourcing Work

Overview

Anyone signed in to Liners can suggest a correction or addition to a product, event, investor, or comparison page. We call it a crowdsourced edit. QA Quinn owns the review queue and emails you the result. DD Dave logs every submission. We review every suggestion before anything goes live — we read your note, make the change if it checks out, and then approve.

Submitting a Suggestion

To suggest an edit, you:

1. Visit the page and click Suggest an edit (hero action on product, event, investor, and comparison pages; also a sidebar card on product pages).
2. Pick the area of the listing you want to change (Tagline, Description, etc.).
3. Pick the operation: Update (change something that's there) or Add (fill in something missing).
4. Describe the change in what should change — be specific, admins read this and make the change by hand.
5. Optionally add a source URL — a link that backs up your change. It's not required, but it speeds up review.
6. Submit.

You need to be logged in to submit. We don't accept anonymous suggestions.

What You Can Suggest

You can submit a suggestion on any product, event, investor, or comparison page. Within each, pick the area that best describes what you want to change, or pick "Other" if nothing fits. We deliberately keep the area list short — it's a triage hint, not a strict form.

What Happens After You Submit

1. Rate limit check — up to 10 suggestions per day per account, and 20 per day per network.
2. Dedup — if you already have an open (Pending) suggestion on the same area of the same listing, we ask you to wait for review. You can still suggest edits to a different area of the same listing in parallel.
3. Quality gate — empty submissions, single-character spam, bare URLs with no prose, and very short unsourced notes are silently dropped or flagged for lighter review. Real suggestions in any language pass straight through.
4. Confirmation email — QA Quinn emails you to confirm your suggestion is in the review queue.
5. Queued — the suggestion enters Pending status and waits for review.
6. Review — we read your description, open the entity, make the change if it's a good fix, and approve. If the suggestion doesn't hold up, we reject with a note explaining why.

Email Notifications

You'll get an email at each stage:

Withdrawing a Suggestion

While your suggestion is Pending, you can withdraw it at any time from your dashboard at /dashboard/my-suggestions. Withdrawn suggestions get flipped to Rejected with the note "Withdrawn by submitter".

Summary

Crowdsourced edits let the community keep our listings accurate. You write a short description of what should change; we read it, and make the edit. Nothing bypasses review. That's the point — it's how we keep the data trustworthy while still moving fast.
