Trust report
Real numbers, pulled live — not a quarterly press release. This page updates itself.
Vote integrity
Every upvote is checked against a simple, explainable pattern: a brand-new account with no other activity, voting as part of a cluster of similarly-new accounts on the same listing within a short window. That's the actual shape of a vote-ring, not a guess about any one voter.
Flagged votes are never deleted and never dropped from the public upvote count you see on a listing — deleting a real action or quietly moving a number would be its own kind of dishonesty. What they lose is influence over rank: flagged votes are excluded from the launch-week score and from Product of the Week. Bought votes don't buy a better position.
Moderation
Every submission is reviewed by a human before it goes live — see how we curate. Not every submission clears the bar.
Dead-listing detection
A weekly check visits every listed product and flags the ones that stop responding, redirect somewhere else, or turn into a parking page. Nothing gets silently removed — a flag goes to a human for review, and a confirmed shutdown is labeled, not deleted.
Questions about a specific decision? The same rule applies as everywhere else on Launchline: a human made the call, and a person will look again if you think we got it wrong.
