New features strengthen community safety and simplify how users join WeShop worldwide
WeShop Holdings Limited (“WeShop” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WSHP), the world’s first community-owned social commerce platform, today announced new safety and onboarding features, including a layered moderation system and username reservation without full account registration, supporting a safer and more accessible user experience.
Layers of Moderation as Standard
As part of its ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and trusted online platform, WeShop has implemented a two-layer moderation framework designed to identify and remove harmful or inappropriate content more efficiently.
The first layer, Community-First Moderation, enables WeShop’s users to report content in real time. This community-driven approach allows potentially unsafe material to be flagged quickly and removed from the public view while under review by WeShop’s moderation team.
The second layer, Internal Platform Moderation, involves WeShop’s moderation team reviewing all flagged content to determine whether it violates Community Guidelines. Content that breaches platform standards may be removed, and accounts may be suspended or permanently deleted. Where content breaches legal or regulatory requirements, including the UK’s Online Safety Act, WeShop will act immediately in accordance with applicable laws.
WeShop’s Community Guidelines establish clear expectations for acceptable content and behavior, helping ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all users.

Username Reservation Without Full Account Creation
WeShop has also introduced a Username Reservation feature that allows users to secure their preferred identity on the platform without completing full account registration.
By separating username reservation from onboarding, the feature reduces friction for new users and protects digital identity as the WeShop community continues to grow.
Together, these updates support WeShop’s broader goal of building a trusted social commerce network where users can share, discover, and shop within a community that prioritizes safety, transparency, and ownership.
“These updates strengthen the foundation of trust on the platform while making it easier for people to join and participate,” said John Garner, founder of WeShop. “We’re building more than a marketplace. We’re building a community-driven social network where people can share, discover, and shop with confidence. By combining robust moderation with a frictionless onboarding experience, we’re setting a new standard for responsible social commerce.”
