How reach works

The other place decides in secret who sees your post. Here the rule is printed.

1. Every post goes to at least 100 people who chose its topic, or to everyone in the room while the room has fewer than 100 people.
2. Every member's feed holds up to ten fair slots a day for posts that are still reaching their first 100. Followers do not buy a place in them. There are no followers.
3. Your first post each day carries the promise. You can post more, and those go to the room as usual, without the guarantee.
4. A person counts once, when your post has been on their screen for a second. People reading without an account are not counted.
5. Your receipt shows how many people saw it, and their roles and rooms. Never their names.
6. Bring someone in and you both get seen more. When a person you invited makes their first post, your next post and theirs each start with 50 extra readers. It counts only with a confirmed email, and up to five times a month.
7. The promise depends on members visiting. While a room is small, your post waits in the fair slots of everyone in it until they arrive, for seven days.

Why this works at any size

views for the average post, whether there are a thousand people here or ten million. It is fair slots divided by the share of people posting.

How the place stays clean

Every post, reply, question and answer has a Report button. When several members report the same thing, it is hidden at once while a person reviews it. Who is going for which public contract is never discussed here; a filter refuses those posts, because competition law forbids it. No one may ask you to pay to get work.
