Bad, Very Bad, or Worst: Choosing the Right Threat Level
Not every bad experience is equal. Threat levels help readers and businesses understand severity at a glance.
Bad
An annoyance or minor letdown: a late order, a confusing bill, or slow support. Worth reporting, but low risk to others.
Very Bad
A serious failure: repeated billing errors, a lost package, or being ignored for days. These patterns hurt trust and deserve attention.
Worst
Potential harm or bad faith: fraud, unauthorized charges, safety issues, or being deceived. "Worst" reports are the ones other consumers most need to see before they buy.
Choosing honestly keeps the platform useful. Inflated ratings help no one; accurate ones protect everyone.
