Abstract

Systems and methods for displaying one or more submissions are described. One such exemplar method includes: (i) accepting, from a client device associated with a reviewer, a representation of the reviewer's presence at a represented location; (ii) receiving location coordinates of a location-enabled device when the reviewer represents being present at the represented location and the location-enabled device is proximate and/or in possession of the reviewer; (iii) deeming the reviewer as an authorized reviewer of the represented location if the location coordinates of the location-enabled device are within a predefined threshold area around the represented location when the reviewer represents being present at the represented location; and (v) causing to be displayed, on one or more of the client devices, one or more submissions relating to the represented location received from the authorized reviewer of the represented location.
