Add a category
Invent the category. Sitting on it is the part that costs money.
There are two ways to put a new throne on the board, and they buy different things. Proposing a category is free, because a category is just a name. Occupying it is $1, because that is what this site sells.
The difference, in one line each
- Free
- The throne goes live vacant at $1 with nobody on it. You have made a category exist. You have not bought anything, and the first person to pay is the king, which may not be you.
- $1
- The throne goes live with your product already on it. You are the #1 in a category nobody else has heard of yet, and your $1 becomes the price anyone has to beat to take it off you.
What happens next, either way
- 01Your category goes into a moderation queue. Nothing is published yet, and nobody can see it.
- 02A person reads it. We are checking that it names a product category, not a company, a person or something we will not list. This is manual, so it is not instant.
- 03Approved: the throne appears on the board. Vacant if you proposed it for free, with your product on it if you paid.
- 04Rejected: nothing is published. If you paid, the full $1 is refunded automatically and you do not have to ask. If you did not pay, there is nothing to refund.
