What bla5k is for
bla5k is a free directory of tools, websites, and communities, plus informational guides. It exists to help people discover genuinely useful products and services. Please use it for that purpose.
Prohibited conduct
You may not use the Site to:
- Violate the law — including copyright, trademark, privacy, export-control, or anti-spam laws.
- Distribute or link to infringing content — pirated software, movies, music, books, or serial keys. We only list licensed, official sources.
- Harass, threaten, or abuse others — including hate speech, doxxing, or targeted harassment of any person or group.
- Post or solicit prohibited content — gambling schemes, controlled substances, weapons, adult content, or anything illegal.
- Make false or deceptive claims — impersonate people or brands, or submit fake listings or reviews.
- Scrape or overload the Site — automated scraping at a volume that harms the Site's operation, denial-of-service attacks, or attempts to disrupt or bypass security.
- Inject malicious code — scripts, malware, or any content designed to harm visitors or the Site.
- Use the Site for spam — bulk messaging, link farms, or search-engine manipulation.
Content and submissions
The Site does not currently accept user-generated submissions directly. If we add community features in the future, the rules above will apply to all submitted content. We reserve the right to remove or decline any listing or content that violates this policy, our quality standards, or the law — without notice.
