How listings work on Bhuri

Getting listed

Every listing starts as a submission from a developer (or an admin-curated entry). Submissions pass automated checks first: malware scanning of build files, link liveness, duplicate detection and deterministic spam heuristics. Each check produces an explainable result that our moderators can see.

After the automated pipeline scores the risk, submissions go to a human reviewer. Low-risk submissions may be published faster once precision is proven — but a person can always override any automated decision. We record every decision in an audit log.

What the labels mean

• AI checked — this listing passed automated checks. This never means "safe"; it means checks ran and what they found is recorded.
• Human reviewed — a moderator personally approved this listing.
• Official source — listing details were confirmed with the developer or the project's official repository/site.
• Community verified — accepted community corrections have improved this listing's data.
• Updated recently — the listing's metadata changed in the last 90 days, based on real timestamps only.

Labels describe process, not safety. Never install software you don't trust; always prefer official download links, which are ordered first on every listing.

Suggesting corrections

Any signed-in user can suggest an edit on a listing ("Suggest an edit"). Corrections are limited to factual fields, deduplicated per field, and applied by moderators through a whitelist. Accepted corrections credit your account as a contributor — recognition is earned by acceptance, not volume.

Rankings and ratings

Trending, popular and rising rails are computed from real install events over rolling windows; Hidden Gems uses a disclosed formula (rated 4★+ by at least 3 users with fewer than 500 installs). Paid placement never changes ranking or review outcomes. Where we calculate a metric, the page says so.

Removing content

Developers can roll back or archive their own listings; suspended or discontinued apps keep a public page with a clear banner when archived. Comments from new accounts are held for review, and readers can report abuse — three independent reports auto-return a comment to the moderation queue.
