Community Rules
Venting is welcome. Turning a bad day into somebody else’s bad day isn’t.
- 1
Rant about situations, not private people.
No names, contact details, screenshots, addresses or identifying clues.
- 2
No threats or hate.
No violence, harassment, slurs, discrimination or encouragement of harm.
- 3
No doxxing, spam or illegal content.
Do not post personal information, scams or instructions for wrongdoing.
- 4
Keep it honest, not coordinated.
No pile-ons, vote manipulation, impersonation or repeated copy-paste attacks.
- 5
Filters catch the obvious. Reports catch the rest.
Obvious abuse is blocked before publishing; reported posts may be hidden for review.
Weekly promotion board
A clearly labelled paid board, kept completely separate from organic rants.
- 1
The week starts at $5; every takeover adds $1.
The current price is set by the server. Each verified payment takes #1 and makes the next takeover exactly $1 more. There is no maximum price.
- 2
Every Monday starts fresh.
The cycle resets at 00:00 UTC each Monday. Last week moves to history, so a large old bid never owns the site forever.
- 3
Overtaken means down, not gone.
A new verified payment takes #1. Older entries move down one place and remain visible. Simultaneous equal payments are ordered by verification time.
- 4
Promote something safe and public.
The destination must work without a login and must not contain deception, malware, impersonation, hate, harassment, illegal or adult content.
- 5
Payment buys labelled placement only.
No promised clicks, sales or permanent rank. Paid placements never change Smash counts or Today’s top rants.
Checkout is handled by Dodo Payments. Smash and the organic top list stay independent.
