Advertising Policy

Last updated: January 27, 2026

Ad disclosures

Paid placements are labeled (for example, “Sponsored”, “Featured”, or equivalent). We aim to clearly separate ads from organic results.

Ranking and featured criteria

• Organic ranking may consider: relevance, recency, activity signals, and community feedback (votes/quality signals).
• Featured/Sponsored placements are paid and may be delivered by targeting (category, keyword, geo, etc.).

Prohibited ads

• Illegal goods/services.
• Malware, phishing, scams, or deceptive claims.
• Adult content targeting minors or otherwise unlawful content.
• Hate or harassment content.

Brand safety and enforcement

We may pause or remove ads if they violate policies, generate abuse, or harm user trust. Repeat violations may lead to account suspension.

Reporting ads

If an ad is abusive or misleading, please submit a report at Report Abuse and include the landing URL and screenshot if possible.
