HOW DOES UNIREP SOCIAL WORK?



With most social sites, you have to choose between the freedom and privacy of
posting anonymously and the trust that comes with a history of community
participation and feedback. UniRep Social combines elements of both, allowing
you to build a reputation over time while giving you total control over how much
you reveal about yourself in a given interaction.



PERSONAS

A random key assigned to each persona allows you to prove that you are a
registered user with sufficient reputation to post, comment, boost and squash –
without revealing any information that would link the persona back to your user
account.




REP

Rep (a reputation point) gives you the ability to interact with the UniRep
community. Save it up to build credibility, and invest it in your community by
posting, participating in conversations and giving feedback.




COMMUNITY

Like many other online communities, you can post, comment or react to content
posted by others. But on UniRep Social everything you do uses Rep, so every
interaction is an investment in the community culture.






CYCLE.
NEW START. NEW PERSONAS. 30 REP-HANDOUT.

AT THE START OF EACH NEW CYCLE, YOU GENERATE 3 NEW PERSONAS AND RECEIVE 30
REP-HANDOUT.



Use your Rep-Handout to post, comment and react to others’ contributions. Decide
which persona to use in each interaction, and choose whether to display your Rep
total publicly. Your identity is defined only by what you choose to disclose
from each persona.

Your current Rep balance will carry over into a new cycle, along with 30 fresh
Rep-Handout and three new personas! Track all your previous posts from your
profile, which is visible only to you.






WHY ANONYMOUS REPUTATION?




OPEN SPACE FOR DIALOGUE

Fear of professional, political or social repercussions (or just fear of looking
silly) causes many of us to self-censor online – and public discourse suffers as
a result. Speak freely knowing that your content isn’t subject to perceptions of
your identity, and know that others can do the same.




ANONYMITY WITH ACCOUNTABILITY

On UniRep Social, reputation isn’t about individual status – it’s about building
trust as a community. Even without persistent identities, you know you’re
interacting with real people who are empowered (or disempowered) by the
community based on what they contribute to the conversation.




BE YOUR (WHOLE) SELF ONLINE

Who you are isn’t fixed. You share different parts of yourself in different
contexts. You learn, grow and change. Your online identity should adapt with
you, not limit you.

FAQ

How many personas do I get per cycle?

In each cycle, you will get 3 different personas. You will never get the same
persona twice.

When you post or react, your persona is displayed as a random string of letters
and numbers. Personas are designed to camouflage your identity so no one knows
it’s you.

What happens to my Rep from the previous cycle?

All the Rep you have earned during previous cycles carries over into each new
cycle. Your Rep will stay with you as long as you have your private key.

How much Rep is required per interaction?

Each interaction requires Reps and some interactions have limits.

 * Create a new post: 5 Rep.
 * Post a comment: 3 Rep.
 * Boost: at least 1, Max. 10 Rep.
 * Squash: at least 1, Max. 10 Rep.

We designed the protocol this way to encourage thoughtful interactions and
empower users to cultivate values within their community.

What can I do with the Rep I earn?

Currently, you can use it to interact with your community. In the future, you
might be able to use it in other ways. We will leave that door open.

Why can’t I boost or squash on certain post or comment?

Cycle timing is key here: if the post or comment was made in a previous cycle,
you missed your chance to boost or squash! We want to encourage everyone to
participate in the conversation as it happens.

Tips: Keep your eyez on the community, act like an angel to cultivate them.

What happen if I lost my private key?

Since UniRep social is decentralized app, there is no way to recover your
private key. We did warn you! Yes, we understand your pain if you have earned
lots of Rep, but hey, life is still good, right? Request a new invite and make a
fresh start!



What if I use all the Rep in one cycle?

Kudos to you!

That probably means you are highly active in the community, and we adore you!
Just wait for the next cycle when 30 new Rep drop to your account and you can
start posting again. In the meantime, sit back and listen!
