In this fairly concise article, we'll discuss one of the first decisions anyone wanting to join us must make: which user type best suits their needs and desires. We'll also discuss the types with the least potential. Potential for lower user types.
Visitors.
Anyone who visits our platform, and many of our websites, will have access to all the public sections, which you can find simply by scrolling down a little further on each of our web pages.
Potential of our visitors.
- Read all our public informational articles, listen to our public audio content, watch our public videos, even vote in our polls, and even general votes (only after they have been voted on by our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identity), which however will have no influence on our decisions.
- Contact DirectDemocracyS using our contact forms as needed. You can ask questions, offer interesting suggestions, offer constructive criticism, and make suggestions or reports, as long as you follow our instructions.
- Request to join us, based on the type of user, they would like to get.
Guests.
Our guests can join us for a free trial, with no obligation to be present, and without any obligation to participate in any activities with us (except for security, visibility settings, personal data protection, personal profile management, privacy settings, two-factor authentication, and notification settings). Like all our users, they will have the right to remain anonymous, as they wish.
Potential of our guests:
- In addition to all the features available to our visitors, after self-activating their personal profile and being activated by our guest activation groups, they will be able to access our website https://free.directdemocracys.org/ using the login form, entering their username (not their email address, but the username they chose on the registration form) and the password they chose on the registration form. Subsequently, from the second login onward, two-factor authentication will also be required.
- They will need to register quickly, easily, for free, and securely, with no obligation to be present or to engage in any activities with us, except for the mandatory steps required upon first login to secure their personal profile (as specified above). The unique registration link is this: https://free.directdemocracys.org/register/ . They will need to truthfully fill out all the required information, preceded by an asterisk, as explained in this informational article at this link: https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/activity-rules/registration-rules/registration-form
- To join us, you need very few things: your real personal information, which will remain invisible forever; a username, chosen according to our rules (which makes you anonymous and untraceable); a password of at least 12 characters, chosen according to our rules (containing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, non-guessable, non-consecutive, and without forming words); a personal email address (adequately protected, and not temporary; you will need it for self-activation and to receive further instructions).
- There are no lines, no IDs, no invitations, no fees, no long waiting lists (you can start working with us early), no attendance requirements, and no activities with us (with the exception of some security measures to protect your personal data, which must be completed upon your first visit).
- They will be able to see our reserved areas for this type of user.
- They will be able to take advantage of the potential of this type of user.
- They will be able to join a private group in English, but they will be able to post content and participate in activities, translating their content into English before posting it. They will see all group content in English, their preferred language, using our automatic translation module, which can be activated individually if needed.
- They will be able to participate, and in certain cases, with authorization for each content, publish certain content, always and only in English, on one of our public or partially private pages.
- Other potentials may be requested and obtained based on your score.
- They may request, also based on their score, at any time, to become initial users, also called login users, or partially verified users, or registered users, and in that case, they will be able to access our website, our intermediate subdomain , https://access.directdemocracys.org/ .
- To subsequently become, at any time, our initial users, also called access users, (keeping all the points accumulated, and the same personal profile, but obtaining greater potential), you will have to access our website, via the login form, and you will have to fill out a simple form, and insert your identity document with photo (we only accept a valid identity card, or passport), and enter the payment code, of a security deposit based on your age: if they are under 31 years old, the link is this: https://free.directdemocracys.org/register/membership/directdemocracys/deposit/deposit-free-subdomain-under-31-initial-users (they will pay 3.13 euros), if they are already 31 years old, the link is this: https://free.directdemocracys.org/register/membership/directdemocracys/deposit/de posit-free-subdomain-over-31-initial-users (will pay €6.25). Almost all of the money paid as a security deposit will be refunded after one year (except for the money transfer fees and a very small money management fee).
- Alternatively, to become a partially verified user at any time, you can access our website using the login form. You will need to fill out a simple form, uploading a photo of yourself, including a selfie of yourself with a clearly visible neighbor, along with a photo ID (we only accept valid ID cards or passports), and entering the code for the annual fee. If you are under 31, the link is this: https://free.directdemocracys.org/register/membership/directdemocracys/under-31-years-old/partially-verified-users-under-31 (you will pay €1.57 per year), or if you are already 31, the link is this: https://free.directdemocracys.org/register/membership/directdemocracys/over-31-years-old/partially-verified-users-over-31 (will pay €3.13). The annual fees paid will never be refunded.
- They will be able to follow the rules in point 12, but pay higher annual fees to become our registered users. Subsequently, based on their actual work, their behavior, and the points they have accumulated (from the first day they join us), they will be able to request verification of their identity via a video call and subsequently request an official invitation to join us on our official website, thereby obtaining a higher level of user status.
Initial users, called access users “-access-users-”.
They will be able to join us directly on the free website, with the same registration form, but they will have to enter https://free.directdemocracys.org/register
They may participate, and in certain cases, with authorization for each content, publish certain content, always and only, in English, on one of our public or partially public pages.
Upon request, they will have access to our initial website, access.directdemocracys.org, where the points earned are worth 10 times more than on the free website.
They will have to pay a security deposit, upload their ID, and have a certain number of points, in order to be admitted, on the website above.
They will have all the potential of free and open users, but in addition, they will have a working group and a partially public page, where they will receive direct help, support, and exclusive and direct information from at least one, up to a maximum of five registered users, with verified and guaranteed identities.
Partially verified users.
They will have the same opportunities as regular users, the same rights and responsibilities, but they will not be required to pay a security deposit, but an annual fee of €1.57 if they are under 31, and €3.13 if they are over 31. The annual fees will never be refunded. By completing the registration form, or, as applicable, completing and submitting the form to upgrade to this user category, they will be required to upload, in place of a photo ID, a selfie of themselves with their photo ID clearly visible nearby, according to the detailed rules in this informational article, available at this link: https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/activity-rules/security-all-rules/file-image
From a potential perspective, in addition to the access users, they will also have access to a group and a partially public page, in a preferred language other than English, and they will have from 1 to a maximum of 5 official members, in a personal group and page, where they can receive a lot of help and very useful information.
Registered users. They are the last type of user, inferior to the previous ones, but with enormous potential.
This is the first type to require attendance, for at least 20 minutes a day, even in multiple sessions, or alternatively, at least 120 minutes a week, in a single session, or in multiple sessions, in a single day, or on multiple days.
They will have the same opportunities as partially verified users, the same rights and obligations, but they will not have to pay a security deposit, but an annual fee of €3.13 if they are under 31, and €6.25 if they are over 31. The annual fees will never be refunded. By completing the registration form, or, as applicable, completing and submitting the form to upgrade to this user category, they will be required to upload, in place of a photo ID, a selfie of themselves with their photo ID clearly visible nearby, according to the detailed rules in this informational article, available at this link: https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/activity-rules/security-all-rules/file-image
They will also have the opportunity to have personal groups and pages in all the languages they know and which are spoken in the countries of which they are citizens.
They are also the first group who can request access to one of our specialist groups, based on their qualifications.
A detailed article will be written for each of these user types, and similar articles will be available for those interested, including those for higher user types.
