Publishing rules and plans
Who can publish, how the council decides, what the link rules mean and how the plans differ. Topic is not a filter – quality and legality are.
The council: who votes and on what
- Legal reviewer (veto)
Can the text be published legally without risk to the site: defamation, unproven accusations, personal data, hate, plagiarism, prohibited advertising, medical or financial promises?
Veto: a “no” returns the article to the author whatever the others say. - Fact checker
Are factual claims verifiable, consistent, not invented? Opinion marked as opinion is not a reason for “no”.
1 vote; a “no” lists the claims. - Reader
Does the reader get real value – information, experience, arguments, practical use? Topic does not matter.
1 vote. - SEO risk assessor
Is the text original, not a link wrapper, not an AI template? Do the links follow the rules (≤ 3, 1 per domain, commercial anchors → sponsored)?
1 vote; writes a verdict for every link (commercial / natural, rel). - Ethics guardian
Does the tone fit the newsroom – no insults, swearing, shouting, manipulation, misleading clickbait? A sharp opinion is fine.
1 vote. - YMYL risk assessor
If the text touches health, money, law or safety – is it presented responsibly, without posing as professional advice? If it does not – the question does not apply.
1 vote.
- Legal reviewer “yes” and 4–5 of the other 5 “yes” → published automatically, verdict under the article.
- Legal reviewer “yes” but fewer than 4 “yes” → returned with the reasons of everyone who voted “no”.
- Legal reviewer “no” → returned with their reasons whatever the others say (veto).
- A returned article can be fixed and resubmitted up to 3 times on the same quota unit. The council decides by itself – nobody waits for a human.

Link safety rules (every plan)
- Only natural anchors get dofollow: title, source, brand, URL.
- A commercial anchor is automatically rel="sponsored"; the form shows it.
- At most 3 external links, 1 per domain, the same domain in ≤ 2 articles a month.
- Target domains are checked (malware, sanctions, pharma, scams) – rejected until fixed.
- Commercial content is labelled “Partner content”; unlabelled is returned.
- After cancelling, once the paid period ends, every link becomes nofollow ugc.
Frequently asked
Who can publish?
- Any registered member with a verified e-mail and a filled profile – the “Author” plan (€0).
- The first article passes the same council as every other one.
- Pro, VIP and Partner raise the quota and enable dofollow; they never buy votes.
How does the council decide?
- There is one council – nine members. Six of them vote on a member article, each answering one question.
- Published automatically when the Legal reviewer approves AND at least 4 of the other 5 vote yes. Otherwise the article is returned to the author with specific reasons – no intermediate human decision.
- Up to 3 resubmits on the same quota unit.
- Council members never see the author's plan.
What does the editor change?
- Only spelling, grammar, punctuation, agreement, word order.
- May split overlong paragraphs and, if there are no headings at all, insert 2–4 subheadings from your phrases.
- Never changes facts, numbers, quotes, conclusions, tone, links or the meaning of the title; adds no intro, outro or FAQ.
What are the link rules?
- Up to 3 external links, 1 per domain; the same domain in at most 2 articles a month.
- Natural anchors (title, source, brand, URL) – dofollow for Pro, VIP and Partner, nofollow ugc for Authors.
- Commercial anchors – always rel=sponsored; the form shows it before you submit.
- After cancelling, once the paid period ends, every link becomes nofollow ugc – rel is computed at render time.
How long must an article be?
- 500–3000 words – the same for every plan.
- Title 10–160 characters, a cover photo you have the right to use, a section from the menu.
Can I edit or delete a published article?
- Yes. An edited text goes through editing and the council again.
- Deleting removes it from the site, its URL stops working, the sitemap updates.
- You can always download your texts as HTML or Markdown.
Can the topic be gambling, adult or another sensitive area?
- Topic is not a filter. Any legal topic can be published if the article is useful to the reader and complies with the law.
- Commercial content is labelled “Partner content”; unlabelled commercial content is returned.
