Challenge checks, validations and the championship
How you prove you are keeping a challenge, who can validate your checks, how they are shared to the wall, and how the championship and medals work.
Reviewed on
A challenge with no proof is an intention. The check is what turns it into a record.
Publishing a check
In a challenge you are running:
- Write your check under «Describe your check…» (attach a photo if relevant).
- Press «Publish check».
It appears in the challenge’s tracking, visible to anyone following it.
Validations
Anyone who can see the challenge can press «Validate» on your check: accept this check as good. They can also «Like» it, which is support but does not validate.
It is intentional that validation is not your Dom’s exclusive right. A challenge is public; so is its endorsement. The validations count is what later weighs in the leaderboard.
Sharing a check to the wall
A check lives inside its challenge. To have your community see it, use «Share to the wall»: it will appear on the wall for your community (as well as inside the challenge). The app asks you to confirm first, because it is greater exposure.
You can also repost to your feed whatever you want to highlight.
Championship and medals
Challenges feed a championship with separate Subs and Doms leaderboards, counting challenges, checks, comments and validations. Winners get medals — gold, silver, bronze — which stay in their profile’s record of honours, visible with «See honours».
It is the platform’s public recognition mechanism: it does not measure who has the best photo, it measures who delivers and who sustains.
Moderating and reporting
Inside a challenge you have «Withdraw» to moderate your own content and «Report abuse» for someone else’s. A public challenge that crosses hard limits, or that exists to pressure someone, is material for a report, not for debate.
Who validated it
On a check or a submission that has been validated you can open «Who validated»: a window with the photo, role and alias of everyone who accepted it, and a separate mark if it was your Dom.
It is not decoration. Seeing who shows up when you deliver is what turns a contact list into a community, and it tells you who to trust next time.
Frequently asked questions
Who can validate my challenge check?
Anyone who can see the challenge. That is deliberate: the validation of a public challenge belongs to the public, not only to your Dom.
Does a challenge check appear on the wall automatically?
No. It appears inside the challenge. If you want your community to see it on the wall you have to share it explicitly, and the app asks you to confirm.
What is the difference between validating and liking?
Validating accepts the check: it counts. A like is support — encouraging, but it validates nothing.
Can I comment on someone else's challenge?
Yes, on the challenge and on its checks. There is a specific field for cheering the person on.
