Rules

The wall follows the published rules below. There are no hidden ranking factors: rank is the bid.

Ranking

Rank is the bidBriefs are ordered by bid from highest to lowest. Clicks, recency, editorial preference, and follower counts do not affect rank.
Whole dollarsUSD only. Integers. No cents. Step is $1.
MinimumFirst bid for a listing this week must be $5.
MaximumAny bid (first or raise) must be ≤ $50,000.
Below #1 still listsPaying less than #1 still appears at the rank that bid can take. Those briefs are not the #1 brief this week.
Equal bidsThe brief placed first keeps the higher rank.
RaiseThe same cleaned brief link may raise while its placement is active. The original payer is charged only the difference, and the new total must be at least $1 higher.
Cannot steal the differenceA different brief that wants that rank must pay the full target amount, not the incumbent’s difference. To take #1, the new bid must be at least $1 above the current top bid.
Payment claims rankRank changes only after payment is confirmed. An incomplete or abandoned checkout never appears on the wall.

Rolling seven-day window

PeriodRolling last 7 days from paid placement. Live rank is that window only.
BoundaryEach placement keeps its own seven-day window. The wall does not reset for everyone at Monday midnight.
What resetsLive rank after seven days from first paid placement. Clicks and bids do not carry once that window ends.
What does not carryA bid paid more than seven days ago. Want this window’s #1? Pay again.

If nobody has paid for an active placement, the wall has no #1 brief.

No fake followers

We never display follower counts, subscriber counts, average views, engagement rate, CPM, or estimated reach. Public clicks on the brief URL are the only counter.

Brief URL hygiene

  1. Use a secure, public brief link.
  2. Tracking, referral, and affiliate parameters are removed.
  3. Reject chat / invite hosts: Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, Slack invite, and similar group-chat links. The board is briefs, not chats.
  4. Reject NSFW / adult / porn hosts and paths. If it is NSFW, it does not belong.
  5. Link shorteners and private, local-only, credentialed, or otherwise unsafe destinations are rejected.
  6. Two briefs on the same host stay distinct: identity is origin + path (plus any remaining non-tracker query).

Rejected links never create a listing or start a charge. About · Back to the board.
