How Corrections and Appeals Work

VegasBlacklist listings can be corrected, disputed, or appealed — here's the practical walkthrough of how each process works.

Requesting a correction. If a specific fact in a listing is wrong (a date, an amount, a business name), use the Respond or Dispute center and select "There is a specific factual error." Provide documentation supporting the correction where possible. A moderator reviews the request; if granted, the correction is added as a visible addendum to the listing — the original text remains visible alongside it, so readers can see exactly what changed.

Submitting a dispute / response. This is different from a correction request — it's your opportunity to tell your side of the story, even if you're not disputing every specific fact. See our guide on how to respond if you're named in a report for the full walkthrough.

Filing an appeal. If a moderation decision goes against you — your report was rejected, your response was rejected, or a correction request was denied — you may file one structured appeal per decision. Explain specifically what you believe was wrong about the decision and provide any new information. Appeals are reviewed by a different moderator than the original decision-maker whenever staffing allows, and the outcome is generally final unless genuinely new evidence emerges afterward.

Requesting removal. Removal is a higher bar than correction — it's appropriate when the underlying matter is resolved and the submitter withdraws it, a court finds the claim false, the listing violates the Community Content Rules, or it's confirmed mistaken identity. See the Corrections, Appeals, Archival, and Removal Policy for full detail.

Timeline expectations. Moderation, correction, and appeal reviews are handled by real people and prioritized in part by urgency (mistaken identity claims are expedited). There's no guaranteed turnaround time published yet — see the Transparency page for reporting on actual response times once a full period has closed.
