Acceptable Use Policy

Indie Chains is subscription software for reviewed founders and operators to discover relevant sites, send contextual requests, and discuss legitimate editorial collaborations.

Members decide independently whether a request is useful for their readers. Paying for membership does not purchase a link, placement, or service from another member.

Requests should identify a real editorial fit, explain why the proposed page or product is relevant, and give the receiving member full control to accept, reject, or discuss the idea.

Members must represent their identity, site ownership, content, and collaboration terms honestly.

• Buying, selling, auctioning, or brokering links or placements through Indie Chains.
• Using requests primarily to manipulate search rankings instead of creating useful editorial context.
• Operating private blog networks, link farms, guest-post farms, doorway pages, or thin affiliate inventory.
• Sending bulk, automated, deceptive, irrelevant, or repeatedly unsolicited requests.
• Hiding sponsorships, paid relationships, affiliate interests, or disclosures required by law or platform policy.
• Promising guaranteed rankings, traffic, Domain Rating changes, placements, or business outcomes.
• Submitting malware, phishing, scams, impersonation, stolen content, illegal goods, adult content, gambling, drugs, weapons, or other unsafe material.
• Manipulating reviews, reputation, request credits, verification, account identity, site ownership, or platform metrics.

Indie Chains may review, reject, hide, or remove sites; limit requests or messaging; preserve evidence; revoke membership access; or suspend accounts when activity creates legal, security, search-spam, payment, or community risk.

Subscription access does not prevent moderation or enforcement. Serious or repeated violations may result in permanent removal.

Report suspected abuse, unsafe content, deceptive requests, or account impersonation to hello@indiechains.com. Include the relevant site, account, or request details when possible.
