Any content that is unlawful under applicable law, including content relating to fraud, threats, harassment, blackmail, unlawful discrimination, or other illegal conduct. UK online safety rules specifically require user-to-user services to assess and mitigate risks relating to illegal content.

Fraud and deception

Content that:

• impersonates another person, dealer, business, or DriveGT;

• uses bots or automation to push content unnaturally.

Abusive or harmful conduct
Content that:

Sexual, exploitative, or highly inappropriate content
Content that is sexually explicit, exploitative, or otherwise clearly unsuitable for a premium automotive platform. Platforms operating user-generated content services are expected to address illegal and harmful content risks in this area.

Off-platform payment or scam solicitation
Any content urging members to send money, deposits, crypto, gift cards, or transfer funds outside trusted processes, especially where someone claims to act on behalf of DriveGT.

5. Vehicle and garage content rules

Because DriveGT is built around garages and vehicle dossiers, the following special rules apply.

You must not:

• list a vehicle you do not have the right to represent;
• use stock or third-party images in a misleading way;
• falsely claim a car is original, restored, rare, matching-numbers, low-mileage, accident-free, or available for sale;
• hide known material facts in a deliberately deceptive way;
• present a vehicle as “for sale” if that is false;
• manipulate market perception through false data.

Reference images may be allowed in limited contexts, but members must not use them to mislead others about the actual car being documented.

6. Messaging, offers, and private interaction content

Messages and offers must remain:

• relevant,
• serious,
• respectful,
• non-abusive,
• non-fraudulent.
• harassment,
• sexual content,
• intimidation,
• repeated pressure after rejection,
• fake payment promises,
• phishing attempts,
• requests for sensitive documents unrelated to legitimate due diligence,
• pretending to represent DriveGT.

The following are prohibited in messages or offers:

DriveGT may restrict, moderate, or remove messages and offer activity where needed to protect members and enforce platform integrity.

The ICO notes that content moderation involves the processing of personal data and should be done with proper safeguards and fairness.

7. Editorial, story, and news content

If DriveGT allows stories, articles, “untold stories,” or member-submitted editorial content, that content must:

• be clearly automotive-related,
• avoid defamation,
• avoid knowingly false historical claims,
• avoid plagiarism,
• remain suitable for a high-trust audience.

DriveGT may edit, reject, or remove editorial-style content to maintain quality, tone, accuracy, and legal safety.

8. Artificial or automated content

DriveGT may use system-generated, assisted, or editorially enhanced content in selected areas of the platform. Members must not use automation or generated content in a deceptive way, including:

• fake owner stories,
• fake sale urgency,
• fake market activity,
• fake engagement,
• fake identities,
• fake vehicle records.

Any member-submitted content remains the member’s responsibility, even if tools were used to help prepare it.

9. Moderation rights

DriveGT may, at its discretion:

• review content,
• hide content,
• label content,
• remove content,
• restrict visibility,
• suspend posting rights,
• block messaging or offer activity,
• suspend or terminate accounts.

We may take action with or without prior notice where reasonably necessary for: safety, legal compliance, fraud prevention, platform integrity, quality control, or protection of members and the brand. UK online safety rules and ICO guidance both reinforce that platforms need systems and processes for handling harmful or illegal user-generated content while respecting users’ information rights.

• infringing,
