In many of our informative articles, we've discussed security measures and the importance of protecting our system, our users, our future users, and anyone who comes into contact with us, in any way. Some people have deemed our security rules overly stringent. We've never done or decided anything without a rationale based on logic, common sense, research, truth, reality, and mutual respect.
In this article, we'll provide you with some rules to prevent wasting money and time, at least when it comes to our DirectDemocracyS system. However, the general rules, if you apply them to others, may still be useful.
In this informative article, we'll focus on ourselves, and we'll start right away with some simple preventative measures that many of you know about, but some certainly don't apply.
First things first: the domain names of our websites, which also provide all our email addresses. Our system is called DirectDemocracyS. It's a somewhat long name: count 16 letters carefully; in the stylized name, there are 3 uppercase letters and 13 lowercase letters. Always check that all 16 letters are present, because many hackers create, even for a fee, domain names in which they change one letter (keeping the 16 letters), remove one letter (so there may be fewer letters), or add one (so there may be more). So, be very careful that the name is perfect, complete, and contains the correct letters, in the correct order.
Malicious people prey on your laziness, your sloppiness, and your lack of attention. We're not judging you; we're all like that, but if we want to avoid wasting time and money needlessly, we must make an effort to be different and better.
Our domain name.
DirectDemocracyS uses only the top-level domain name: directdemocracys.org. So, the usual 16 lowercase characters, plus . org . We are an organization, and this name will never change. There are no other websites, and there are no new versions; we are unique and inimitable.
Our subdomains.
All our websites have a subdomain, which consists of a name or a few letters, always followed by directdemocracys.org. For example, our official website is: www.directdemocracys.org, our free website, where you can join us and do a variety of activities, is: free.directdemocracys.org, our contact website is: contacts.directdemocracys.org, and many other websites, all with different subdomain names, but all with the same string: name and always: directdemocracys.org.
All our websites are encrypted and secure.
Therefore, all our websites always begin with https://. For example, our official website is https://www.directdemocracys.org/ ; our website where you can join us by registering and creating a personal profile (always after verifying the identity of anyone who joins us by our identity verification groups) is https://free.directdemocracys.org/ ; our website for contact forms is https://contacts.directdemocracys.org/ . The slash (/) is only used to separate the various URLs that make up our links. For example, to allow us to verify your identity, our unique link is, and will remain, this: https://free.directdemocracys.org/utility/activity-group/request-identity-verification?view=request
Our platforms consist of all our websites, with their respective subdomains, which are physically hosted on our web servers in various countries around the world. They all share a single domain name, and it is always directdemocracys.org. Our system has a limited presence and carries out virtually no activity outside of our platforms. On traditional social networks and other external websites, we only occasionally publish information about some of our activities, often months late. For those who want to receive extensive news virtually in real time, or who want to contact us or request our support, the only way is to visit our platforms.
Our email addresses.
All our email addresses always contain the username followed by @directdemocracys.org, for example:
In DirectDemocracyS, only people with verified identities can receive an email address with their chosen name followed by @directdemocracys.org.
If anyone contacts you using our name: DirectDemocracyS, even using our logos, with different names and strings, please mark them as spam, block them, do not click on any links they send you, and we recommend reporting them to law enforcement as a scam. The reason is simple: they're deceiving you, not us. For a concrete example, see the attached photo:
It's clearly a fake, but for those unfamiliar with the information we've provided several times and the information previously in this article, there could be a risk of losing time, sensitive data, and money.
Instead, we'll show you an authentic message sent by our system. Don't pay attention to the logos, because anyone can copy and paste our images to try to impersonate us (even if they're a criminal offense because they're registered trademarks).
In the first photograph, the email address begins with a string that might seem regular at first glance, but if you look at the email address, you'll find the real sender:
While in a genuine message, the real sender has the genuine email address of DirectDemocracyS:
So now you will know our platforms, our official name, our domain name, our subdomains, our websites, and our email addresses.
Hackers or malicious individuals can do many things, but they can hardly completely replace us. They can't easily break into our servers around the world, which together make up our operating system. But we still need to be very careful.
Almost all scams involve sending messages in our name, not only via email, but also via various third-party applications and even on social networks. They create profiles, groups, pages, events, and activities in our name, outside of our platforms, and generally waste your time. However, in some cases, they can be dangerous: they may request and steal your personal information, and even money. They may scam you by claiming they will help you join DirectDemocracyS more easily and quickly, and promise you benefits, advantages, potential, and a higher level of user base.
We want to make it clear once and for all that our rules, methodologies, instructions, and motivations are and will always be the same for everyone, and that thanks to the architecture of our system, there are no, and never will be, individuals or groups who can ensure fast-track access and bypass waiting lists. All our activities follow very clear implementation rules, with multiple steps involving many official members, randomly selected from many groups, which are themselves randomly selected. It is impossible for humans or machines to accurately predict which member, from which group, will be assigned which phases , so no one can guarantee speed and simplicity. However, the rules are the same for everyone, and those who deserve it are rewarded based on scores, including grades, points accumulated individually and as a group, through concrete activities, impeccable behavior, and length of time spent in our system.
But let's look at some brief information and useful tips that will allow you, if you respect all our rules and are careful, to prevent practically any possible problem.
We will never ask you to click external links to our platforms.
In any message, you can find out where certain links lead: just copy and paste the links into any text editor. You can also check them using various useful services that allow you to test links, images, documents, archives, and applications with various antivirus programs.
If you receive links in a message that you believe to be from us that do not lead to our platforms, it is certainly fake, so do not click on it .
Pay close attention to the data you are asked to enter.
DirectDemocracyS has very detailed but also very simple rules, and always with exceptional security measures. First, we ask you to choose a username that allows you to remain completely anonymous, according to very detailed rules found at this link: https://free.directdemocracys.org/law/instructions/for-registration/best-username
Our system will link the username you choose to your personal email address.
Our system verifies that your usernameโthat is, youโhas a personal, non-temporary, and adequately protected email address. Email protection measures can be found online: simply search for and apply the best and most effective security measures. To verify that your usernameโthat is, youโreally own and use the email address you claim to have, our system sends you a link to click, or a string to copy, paste, and activate in any browser. Always ensure that it complies with the previous rules governing domain names, our subdomains, our websites, and our email addresses. In some cases, we send you a unique code that you must copy and paste into a specific web page on one of our websites, always and only on our platforms. Always ensure that it complies with the previous rules governing domain names, our subdomains, our websites, and our email addresses. We will repeat this process as often as necessary.
Once our system has linked the username you've chosen (the system will tell you if it's available; if it's already taken, it will offer you a slightly different alternative, or, as the best possible choice, it will recommend a secure one that complies with our rules, if you wish) with your verified email address, you'll finally have an identity to contact us.
Of course, we'll verify that you have a personal, mobile phone number. Like your username and email address, your phone number must be unique and linked to your identity.
Our system asks you to choose your primary country of citizenship and a second country if you live in your primary country for less than six months a year. It also asks you to choose your preferred language, so we can randomly select groups and members for all the activities you'll do with us, who must be from your country and speak your language.
Your identity will be reserved for a specific period of time. After reviewing our system, you can, if you wish, join us and have your identity verified according to our rules. Obviously, you'll first need to choose the type of user you prefer, the one that best suits your needs and budget. Of course, there's also a free user option, which costs nothing and doesn't require any mandatory presence or volunteer work to operate our vast system.
Some other security measures to prevent your sensitive data from being stolen, or your money from being stolen, are presented in various of our informative articles.
Please note that we won't ask for your credit or debit card information, but you can bring some cash with you and use our gift cards and other options in our system. We'll discuss this further in due course.
Annual dues can be paid, and purchases can be made, or donations can be made using these credit cards and internal bank accounts, but only after you become an official member. Until then, DirectDemocracyS relies on external international payment services, always and exclusively through our websites. For all activities related to our system, do not follow links from other websites, social networks, or messages. Everything is done exclusively on our platforms.
