How this works.
Rank is bought, and only bought
No editorial, no algorithm. Whoever has given the most is first, and ties go to whoever gave first.
The money never reaches us
You give through Every.org, a registered 501(c)(3). They are the charity that takes your payment, and they pass it on to the cause of the week. Your receipt comes from them. There is no account on our side for it to pass through.
Your rank moves when the payment clears
Every.org confirms it, and that confirmation is the only thing allowed to move a listing up the board. Nobody, us included, can place one by hand.
The weekly board is the cheap way in
A second board is scoped to the current charity and resets when the cause changes. It is far cheaper to top than the all-time board.
The charity changes every Monday
One cause at a time, named on every page while it runs and listed with its total afterwards.
What you cannot link to
A listing has to point at a real product, company or project. Not a Discord invite, a Telegram or WhatsApp group, a chat room, a referral or affiliate link, an adult site, a giveaway or airdrop, malware, a phishing page, or anything that exists mainly to pull people somewhere else.
If a listing breaks this it is removed from the board, and the donation is not refunded. That is not a penalty we collect. It is that we never had the money: it went to the charity of the week through Every.org the moment you gave it, and there is no account here it could be returned from. The charity keeps it either way.
If you are unsure whether a link qualifies, ask before you give. A DM to @david_cbolt is the fastest way to get an answer.
