Public boards

What you can publish

A private board is yours and we never look at it. A public board is a page anyone on the internet can open, so it has one rule: it has to stay family- and business-friendly. That is the whole standard, and everything below is just what it means in practice.

Publish freely

• Toolkits and resource lists for a job, industry or hobby
• Onboarding and handover pages for staff, clients or students
• Reading lists, course material and research collections
• A link-in-bio page, a launch page, or a page of your own work
• Anything you would be comfortable showing a colleague at their desk

Not on a public board

• Sexual content, nudity, or anything sexualising minors
• Harassment, hate speech, or content targeting a person or group
• Instructions for violence, weapons, or self-harm
• Pirated material, cracks, stolen credentials or leaked data
• Malware, phishing pages, or links designed to deceive
• Impersonating a person, company or public body
• Pure link-farm pages built only to manipulate search rankings

Linking to a site that covers difficult subjects is not the same as promoting them. A journalism board, a medical resource list or a harm-reduction page is fine — the question we ask is what the board is for.

How review works

When you make a board public it is checked automatically. The check reads the board's own text — its name, categories, link titles and notes — and the pages your links point to, so a tidy-looking board of links to something else does not get through.

There are three outcomes. Approved and the page is live, usually within a minute — there is no queue and no waiting on a human. Flagged means something was borderline; the page stays up and a person looks. Rejected means the public page goes offline immediately.

Nothing is deleted, ever. A rejected board is still yours, still in your account, with every link intact. Only the public page stops resolving.

If your board is taken offline

We email you with the reason. Edit the board and it is re-checked automatically — you do not have to resubmit it or ask us to look again. If the problem was one link, remove it and the page comes back.

If you think the decision is wrong, reply to that email or write to support@linksley.com. A person reads it. Automated checks are wrong sometimes and we would rather hear about it.

Being listed in Explore

Public and listed are different things. Publishing gives your board an address; it does not put it in the gallery. Listing is a separate opt-in in the board's settings, off by default, so a personal public page stays out of the shop window unless you put it there.

Being listed is a judgement about usefulness, not about safety — we may decline to feature a board that is perfectly allowed. That is not a moderation decision and it never takes your page down.

Reporting a board

Every public board has a Report link at the bottom. Reports are graded automatically and escalated to a person; a board that clearly breaks these rules comes down quickly. Reporting is anonymous and you do not need an account.
