Orisla - Beta Test - More than social media

I saw this vid on FB where a guy was able to catch a thief stealing his belongings & spray painting 2 of his cameras on video- he was able to get the police to get a search warrant & actually recovered his belongings

My experience was a bit different

I came home with my 3 little children to 2 teenage boys running out of my garage (as I backed in) with their hands full of my belongings - police didn't even want descriptions - they said there was nothing they could do so I should make a list to file with homeowners insurance - as a single & disabled mom I didn't have enough income to pay for homeowners insurance - so I pray for those boys that God would turn up the heat enough in their lives to turn them around

What is your definition of success?

I'll start!

I used to believe that the only way to define success was to be wealthy. Looking back, I think other aspects of success include having a peaceful life, a happy family, striking a work-life balance, facing your challenges head-on, and never giving up.

What makes Christmas special to you?

I'll go first!

When I was a kid, my parents didn't have much, but they always took us out to celebrate Christmas.

I used to look forward to Christmas as a child! It is not the food we eat at Christmas that is important, but rather the sense of belonging.

Beware of ATM

I don't know if y'all still use debit cards and ATMs but I still use it. Anyway, So I withdraw a cash on the ATM 'cause I need to buy some groceries. The cash did went out of the machine including the receipt but I was too focused putting My Debit card on my wallet that I forgot to take the money first. The ATM ate my money, like literally when I was about to get it, girl was like "You too slow, better luck next time, girl!". I was too shocked 'cause I know Mom would be whippin' my ass LOL. Moreover, It's really hassle to kind of report it to the bank. It's been like almost a week and My Money has not been reflected on my account. So, Guys, becareful as well and don't be too slow like me, Get it faster.

This is your sign to grab the opportunity before it slips away out of your hand *wink*.

Sitewide Discussion on Rules, please read.

UPDATED: 9/8/2023

Hello everyone, and thank you again for being a part of the early stages of this project. I can happily say that we are succeeding in our goal of having a positive initial culture. With that in mind, we have been in discussion to try to figure out how we want to handle times in which the rules are violated. Because this platform is attempting to operate differently than other platforms, we want the community to have a say in how these violations are handled.

Below is a list of the tools moderators have at their disposal once a topic is reported.

Note - These are utilized by site moderators but also by the individuals who have created a topic or a sub-category. Don't forget you are responsible for moderating your topics and sub-categories. In exchange you receive a cut of every Recognition exchanged in your topic/sub-category. If you do not want that responsibility you are welcome to put someone else's username in the Recognition Split and they can moderate it for you. If the user who owns the topic or sub-category bans or blocks the user in question, they will not have access to that topic or sub-category. If a site moderator bans or blocks someone, the user will not have access to the site.

Warning - the user will receive a pop-up text box with a message from the moderator

Ban - a temporary block from the Topic or sub-category.

Block - a permanent ban

How do you want to use these tools?

What kinds of content requires intervention?

What kind of intervention should it receive?

I'll update this Topic to include the discussion points.

Updates:

We have received some feedback and are in the process of incorporating it into the current structure. The discussion now continues to allocate which offenses are considered Minor, Medium, or Major.

Minor - Warning

1. Failing to utilize site designations correctly (we should anticipate most new users will need some direction here. The site designations can be confusing at first).

2. Posting someone else's content without citing a source / indicating it is Not OC (Not original content)

3. Spamming Comments

4. Inappropriate username / avatar

Medium - Bans: 1 day to 1 week

1. Speech that is attacking individuals or groups

2. Failing to adjust accordingly following repeated warnings

3. Attempting to steal the content from other users for financial gain

4. Posting NSFW content outside of a NSFW designated sub-category

Major - Block, Site-wide Block

1. Failing to adjust accordingly following repeated bans

2. Scamming others / Posting links to Phishing or harmful sites

3. Impersonating another individual, or pretending to represent an organization

Thoughts?

Anything we need to add or change?
