THE SHORT VERSION

Be interesting. Do not be reckless.

Top40 Tag is currently for adults aged 18 or older. A creator locks a photo behind a time-limited social chain. Private chains move by invitation. Public chains may appear on the open board after an automated safety check. If forty people join in time, those members can view the photo.

Your links

Keep the control-room link private. Anyone with that link may view and delete the photo and chain. Private participant links are unlisted but designed to be forwarded. A public chain listing shows only safe metadata such as nickname, category, time, progress, and reputation. It never shows the locked photo.

Photo rules

Upload only a photo you have the right to share. It must not contain nudity, sexual content, sexualized minors, graphic violence, self-harm, hate, harassment, private documents, unlawful material, or a person who did not agree to be photographed. Do not use Top40 to threaten, exploit, deceive, harass, or expose anyone.

What “locked” means

The photo is stored separately from its listing and access-controlled. “Locked” does not mean a recipient cannot screenshot or save what appears after unlock. Only upload something you can tolerate the forty members retaining.

Public checks, reports, and removal

Public uploads are automatically screened before listing. Three unique member reports quarantine a public reveal for another safety check. Five unique member reports remove the photo and add one account strike. Five confirmed strikes ban the account from publishing public chains. Safety systems can be wrong; contact support to appeal a removal or ban.

Fair play

Joining a public photo costs one coin. Each signed-in account gets five free coins every 24 hours and may take only one spot in each public photo. Connection limits also reduce scripts, disposable browsers, and one person pretending to be the whole forty. Private chains use lighter duplicate checks.

Ratings

Ratings answer only “Was the reveal worth the wait?” They are not a rating of someone’s face, body, attractiveness, or personal worth. Negative safety feedback belongs in the report system.
