Rules
Top Gurus.lol is a public leaderboard. Rank is decided by money. Here is exactly how it works.
How ranking works
- Every guru on the board has a running total. Highest total sits at #1.
- New spots start at $5, whole dollars, $1 increments (max $999,999).
- Your amount buys whatever rank it lands at. A smaller amount just sits lower on the board.
- Ties keep the order they were placed - the earlier bid keeps the higher rank. To pass an equal total, add $1.
Boosting (helping something up)
- Anyone can boost a guru. Your contribution stacks onto its total and pushes it up the board.
- Every boost is attributed - the guru can see who helped, and how much. Choose to appear as a backer or contribute anonymously.
- Money that lands on an item stays there. Boosts never expire.
Raising your own spot
- Enter a LinkedIn profile that is already on the board and you only pay the difference to reach a higher total.
- Nobody can take your exact rank by paying only the difference - passing you costs at least $1 more.
What you can submit
- Submit a LinkedIn profile.
- Clicks go to the link you submitted, with tracking query strings stripped.
- Profiles are keyed by their handle, so different accounts don't share a spot.
Not allowed
- Link-shortener URLs. Affiliate and referral parameters are stripped.
- Chat and invite links - Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar.
- Porn, NSFW, or adult-platform links do not belong on this board.
- Anything illegal, or impersonating someone you are not.
Payment
- Paid in USD to Topboards. Your rank is secured the moment payment completes.
- A bid is a contribution to a public rank, not a purchase of goods. The guru being ranked does not receive the money.
- Bids are generally final once your rank is applied, except where required by law or if an error occurred. If a payment is refunded or reversed, the rank it bought is removed.
These are Top Gurus's specific mechanics. The platform-wide Topboards Rules also apply.
