For artists

If we ask about a listing

Start to finish, including if you have nothing to show.

How you get selected

Some at random, some because something looked off. Newer listings, and artists we have never asked before, come up a bit more often.

We don't publish how often each kind is picked, because a predictable audit is easy to prepare for.

What we ask for

Whatever you have. Sketches, working files, screen recordings, or just an account of how you made the piece.

The deadline is normally two weeks. If you need more time, reply and say so.

If you have no evidence

Say so. There's a checkbox for it. That's a complete answer, it closes the audit, and it isn't treated as an admission.

The possible outcomes

Confirmed. What you sent backs up the claim. This gives the strongest listing label.

Supported. What you sent is consistent with the claim.

Inconclusive. The reviewer couldn't settle it. This is not a violation. Nothing happens to you.

Policy violation. The reviewer concluded the standard was broken. A senior reviewer then decides separately what, if anything, happens next. Nothing is automatic.

Who reads it

A person, every time. Software can flag a listing, but it can't decide the outcome.
