Core Features

User Authentication & Security

Our platform employs a robust security system centered around proof-of-work captcha protection for critical access points. This system requires users to complete computational challenges during login and registration attempts, effectively preventing automated attacks while ensuring genuine users can access the platform smoothly.

To maintain the quality and integrity of our community, we've implemented an invitation-only registration system. This careful approach ensures that new members are vouched for by existing users, creating a self-moderating ecosystem that naturally preserves our community standards and culture. The best way to get an invite is to check our users listing and reach out to someone you know in real life who is already a member.

The platform features a sophisticated hierarchical tracking system that visualizes invitation lineages. This allows users to see how the community has grown through their invitations, creating transparent accountability while fostering a sense of responsibility among members who bring in new users. The visual representation helps admins and users understand the community's growth patterns and identify particularly active or successful inviters.
