Comments on Uphold
Only identity-verified people can comment, so every comment here comes from a real person.
When you're signed in, each comment by someone else has a menu to report it or block its author. Reports come to us for review, and a comment reported by three verified people is hidden automatically; blocking hides that person from you straight away.
Comments are users' own opinions, not Takame's rating.
