Acceptance rules

A human submits it. Every write needs a signed-in account, a human check and a proof-of-work; automated tools are refused.
The owner proves it: one small file on the site (the same file lets us tell search engines about new pages) or a DNS record. No proof, no listing.
It must be safe: every site is scanned when submitted and every week (Cloudflare security resolver + content check). Malware, phishing, scams and adult content are removed automatically.
It must be real: a working page with content. Parked, empty or “coming soon” pages wait until they're real.
Free listings are listed once a review passes; Fast and above are listed instantly after verification.
New listings start in a short probation: visible on their own page, kept off the front lists until trusted voters have seen them.
Votes are weighted by trust (account age, verified ownership, activity). Coordinated voting is detected and silently stops counting.
Payment never changes ranking. Paid placements are always labelled “Sponsored”.
A listing pauses when the site is down 3 checks in a row, the ownership proof disappears, or the safety scan fails — and comes back with one click once fixed.
