Rules
Last updated 2026-09-06
House rules. They are part of the terms, but this is the page actually worth reading before you bid.
What each category takes
Every category says what it accepts, and it means it. A text-only category refuses an image even though the upload button exists elsewhere on the site — the server checks, so getting a file uploaded is not the same as getting it accepted.
Limits
- Entries are capped at 200 characters.
- Uploads are capped at 5MB.
- Accepted formats: PNG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF.
What gets rejected
Nothing subtle here. We refuse:
- Harassment, or anything targeting a private individual
- Sexual content, and anything involving minors
- Hate speech and threats
- Illegal content
- Other people’s personal information — addresses, phone numbers, card numbers. Yours too: this is a public board
- Impersonating someone
- Spam, and bidding against yourself to fake activity
How moderation works
Two gates, and they do different things to your money. This distinction is the one people get wrong, so it is worth being precise:
| Gate | When | Your money |
|---|---|---|
| Automated scan rejects | Before checkout — text as you submit it, images as you upload | Nothing is charged. There is no payment, so there is no refund. Fix it and try again |
| A moderator rejects | After your payment has settled | Refunded, less the payment processing fee — and in full below $5.00 |
A clear scan is not approval. It only means your entry joins the queue. Nothing reaches the board without a person looking at it, which is why a crown never changes hands the instant you pay.
If we got it wrong
The automated check errs towards passing things to a human, but it does refuse real entries sometimes. It will not tell you which rule it thought you broke — a precise message is a map for anyone trying to get around it.
Write to support@1spot.lol and a person will review it within 5 working days. Nothing was charged, so the fix is to post again.
Appealing a moderator’s rejection works the same way, same address. Your refund is issued either way — an appeal never holds your money up while it is considered.
Reporting something
abuse@1spot.lol. Tell us the category, roughly when you saw it, and what is wrong with it. If it breaks these rules we take it down; if it is a legal complaint, say so and we will treat it as one.
