How review works

1. 1Hitting publish runs the automated review instantly (completeness, live demo, data connection, banned content, AI screening).
2. 2All green: the campaign publishes immediately with verified badges.
3. 3Warnings: it publishes in an 'under review' state while the team takes a look.
4. 4A hard rule blocks publishing and tells you exactly what to fix. Your writing is kept safe as a draft.

Trust badges (machine-verified)

• Demo verifiedThe server actually visits the linked demo/service and confirms it responds.
• Data layer verifiedThe creator's database is genuinely connected. Sign-ups and orders really persist.
• Content screenedPassed the banned/risky-content ruleset (4 languages).
• AI fraud screeningAn AI cross-examines for fraud signals, impossible promises and impersonation. Every flag must quote the text.

What blocks publishing (hard rules)

• Financial-return or principal guarantees (investment-fraud signals)
• Gambling, casino, betting
• Adult content
• Medical cure claims
• Multi-level marketing / referral-commission schemes
• Token sales / ICOs
• Weapons
• Trading in personal data
• Payday-loan / private-lending brokering

What triggers a human review

• Absolutes like '100% guaranteed', 'zero risk'
• Unbacked superlatives like 'world's first', '#1 in the industry'
• Very short stories or campaigns with no rewards

How money is protected

Pledges are held in escrow in full. Hit the goal and funds release to the creator at the deadline; miss it and every backer is refunded automatically. Example campaigns cannot be backed at all.
