FAQ
What are rocks for?
When you join Rocky Ads, you receive 3 rocks.
Throw a rock on an ad that violates our policies or has problems. That starts a conversation with the ad owner so you can work together to resolve the issue.
Once the issue is resolved, the seller can return your rock. Rocks are limited — use them wisely.
Why do you need my phone number?
Rocky Ads connects buyers and sellers through messaging. We need your phone number mainly so we can notify you when someone sends you a message.
Ideally we would not collect personal information at all, but we do need a reliable way to reach you. Rocky Ads is built to collect as little as possible while still working.
A text-capable phone number is a practical choice: texting is everywhere, and it helps tie each account to a real person. We do not ask for your email, mailing address, payment details, or other profile information — your phone number is the only contact info we collect.
During signup we send a one-time verification code to confirm the number can receive texts. After that, we text you when other users message you. You can turn text notifications on or off anytime in Settings.
We do not sell your phone number, share it with other users, or use it for marketing unrelated to your account.
Why am I not getting text messages?
First, open Settings and confirm text messages are turned on.
You can also turn notifications off or on anytime from Settings without texting STOP or START.
