Things to not do on BULB

Over the past few months, BULB'S active users has grown significantly, let's say more than 20 times. And looking at the activities of these users, it's safe to say that a lot of them don't understand that BULB has a code of conduct. And violation of these codes of conduct might result in certain penalties.

Here's a link to the code of conduct: https://cdn.bulbapp.io/assets/documents/code_of_conduct.pdf

THE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM

To guard against copyright infringement, spam, and anything that transgresses BULB's code of conduct, the community is protected by a peer-to-peer content moderation system operated by reliable members of the community. The proper course of action will be determined by BULB moderators after they have reviewed the report's content and supporting documentation.

So here's what I mean in summary;

You violate the code of conduct - you get reported by users - the report is reviewed by moderators - if the report goes against you, you get penalized.

A reported post is penalised with 100 BULB Points and a minus 10 energy capacity; a reported comment is penalised with 50 BULB Points and a minus 5 energy capacity. In extreme circumstances, the user may be permanently barred from using BULB.

Users can spend 2 energy to report a violating post or comment to potentially earn a Moderator BULBmoji worth 8 points. If a specific post or comment reaches a certain threshold, i.e., enough members of the community report it, it will appear in the public governance dashboard for moderators to decide whether to keep or remove it.

Users who spend the 2 energy to report will only receive the full 8 points if the post or comment is removed by moderators, and no points will be earned if the content is kept on the platform. This is to encourage users to report content that truly violates the code of conduct rather than reporting for the sole purpose of increasing rewards.

When a post or comment is reported, moderators must make one of two decisions: keep or remove. When a certain threshold is reached, the decision is carried out. To encourage sound decision-making, the moderating reward system is similar to reporting in that moderators are only rewarded with a Moderator BULBmoji if their decision is implemented by the larger moderator community. Furthermore, moderators vote anonymously, which reduces the risk of collusion because the most recent vote status is unknown.

THE APPEAL SYSTEM

We believe in second chances, and you have the right to appeal a report. When filing an appeal, you must provide enough evidence to overturn the initial decision.

To make a report appeal:

Make sure to issue the appeal within 7 days of the initial decision.
To file an appeal, you are required to state your reasons for why you would like to appeal.

A moderator who voted in the initial decision will not be able to participate in the appeal process to maintain the integrity and fairness of the BULB governance system. If the moderators vote in favour of the appeal, the consequences sustained from the report will be reverted

HERE ARE EXAMPLES OF USERS VIOLATING THE RULES

SPAM COMMENTS:

This is rampant on Bulb. Some users drop low quality comments like bots (or maybe they are bots) just to earn points. These comments come in different forms like;

ONE WORD COMMENTS:

TWO WORDS COMMENTS:

HONORABLE MENTION:

Just leave a meaningful comment that relates to the post and you're good.

SCAM AIRDROPS:

I'm sure we've all come across numerous airdrop posts like this;
Avoid them. They're scams and wallet drainers.


There are still some violations I've probably left out but I'll surely cover them next time.
Lastly, If you follow the rules stated in the codes of conduct, then BULB will be a platform where you're rewarded for your passion.
