Rules
Short, and all of it is enforced by the code rather than by a policy page.
- Rank is money. Listings are ordered by the total paid for them, highest first. Ties break toward the more recent payment.
- $1 minimum, $1 steps. You may bid more than the minimum. You do not have to beat anybody — a dollar always buys a place on the board.
- Nobody is removed by being outbid. An outbid listing moves down, not off. Rank never expires.
- One URL, one listing. Submitting a URL that is already on the board adds to that listing's total. Different paths on the same host are different listings.
- Sponsor slots are not auctions. 6 placements, $120 for 30 days, sold in order. They cannot be outbid and they do expire.
- The Firestarter is not for sale. It is derived from total spend across all of a buyer's listings.
- Clicks are counted, not estimated. The figure on your listing is requests to the outbound redirect. It is rate limited, and it counts requests rather than people — compare it against your own analytics, which is the number that matters.
- Takedowns. Malware, phishing, scams, adult content, impersonation and anything illegal get hidden. Hiding a listing is not a refund. If you think that is unfair, write in — but submit something honest and it will not come up.
- Refunds. A rank purchase always delivers, so there is nothing to refund. If a sponsor slot is taken between your checkout and your payment landing, the charge is returned automatically.
- This is not an endorsement. The order says what people paid. It says nothing about whether the software is any good.
