Community and publisher policies
These rules apply to links, lists, blogs, and conversations on OnceMarked. Disagreement, criticism, and unpopular viewpoints are allowed. Harm, fraud, and manipulation are not.
Links you can add
Safe public HTTP and HTTPS pages, paywalled pages, and PDFs may be marked. Private-network services, malware, phishing, illegal material, doxxing, credible threats, non-consensual sexual content, sexual content involving minors, and explicit adult content are not eligible during the beta.
Conversation
Discuss the anchor and other participants in good faith. Spam, impersonation, targeted harassment, threats, exposure of private information, and attempts to evade a safety action may be removed. Authors can edit for 30 minutes and delete at any time; a tombstone remains when replies need its place in the thread.
First marks and Ripple
The first valid person to surface an anchor keeps visible discovery credit. A mark grants no ownership, metadata, moderation, publisher, or private-data authority. Ripple points reflect eligible comments and upvotes from other people around those marks. Self-activity, duplicated activity, spam, invalid anchors, and removed content do not count and may be reversed.
What is public and private
Your All saved inbox, private lists, save counts, and save activity stay private. Public lists and their membership are visible to everyone. Follower and following totals are public, but the identities behind them remain private; only you can see the people you follow. Net vote scores are public, but voter lists and profile vote histories are not. The embed does not inspect host-page content beyond its declared URL and configuration. Submitted URLs are fetched only for bounded metadata extraction; reports and moderator review enforce the content policy.
Optional usage analytics
With your permission, OnceMarked uses PostHog’s EU service to measure page categories, referring websites, approximate location, device type and successful actions such as saving a link or creating a list. A random browser identifier is stored for up to one year, with session information stored until the browser tab closes; it is not linked to your account. We do not send saved URLs, search text, list titles, comments, drafts or email addresses. Automatic click capture and session recording are disabled. Change or withdraw your choice through Analytics preferences in the footer. Development, administration and hosted blog pages are excluded.
Publisher and platform authority
A verified publisher may configure its embed, correct presentation metadata for its own domain, and hide a comment from its own embed. A publisher-local hide does not erase the public discussion. Platform safety actions are separately authorised, recorded, and apply across surfaces. Canonical identity, aliases, and merges require platform review.
Reports and appeals
Reports are reviewed for the scope and rule identified. Moderators record a reason for each dismissal or restriction. Affected people may request an appeal through the beta feedback channel; another moderator should review it when practical.
