Advertising Policy

Every ad is reviewed

All advertisements are reviewed before they appear in the Ads section or on the wall. Paying for a wall space never skips review. Job offers must be real jobs; events must be real events; never ask people to pay in advance to apply, view or reserve. Advertisers must be 18 or older. Approved ads can still be removed if they are later found to break this policy.

Not allowed

• Scams, fraudulent offers and get-rich-quick schemes
• Phishing, credential collection or misleading login pages
• Impersonation of people, brands or organisations
• Malware, unwanted software or links that redirect deceptively
• Illegal products and services
• Hateful, violent, sexually explicit or shocking content — including in animated GIFs
• Misleading claims, including fake reviews or endorsements

Destination links

Links must use HTTPS and lead to the advertiser's own site or a page that clearly matches the ad. Link destinations are checked at submission and may be re-checked while the ad is live.

Reports and appeals

Anyone can report an ad. If your ad is rejected or removed you'll be told why and can appeal; a different moderator reviews appeals.
