Participation begins open
People can read publicly. Signed-in beta members can ask, answer, disclose affiliations, and report problems. Joining creates no economic influence or privileged authority.
Open participation. Visible incentives. Earned influence.
FidiFox lets useful recommendations compete without turning every conversation into unrestricted promotion. Community feedback helps surface value, while progressive trust determines what can create economic influence.
We block spam, manipulation, and hidden incentives, not real value.
A moderator may remove harmful, deceptive, irrelevant, explicit, or manipulative content. A useful recommendation cannot be suppressed merely because it competes with a moderator, preferred vendor, or higher-commission option.
Progressive trust
How participation becomes earned influence
Helpful feedback stays social first
A helpful signal can recognize useful work without automatically producing standing or promotion credits. The community can surface value while FidiFox checks whether the signal is economically eligible.
Trust settles over time
Eligible contribution is reviewed across closed periods with distinct-member validation, account history, conduct, disclosure, and coordination safeguards. Manipulated or reversed evidence does not become durable trust.
Commercial access is earned locally
Commercial interests must be disclosed. Promotion credits are community-local, non-transferable, and spendable only after settlement. Money cannot purchase trust or bypass contribution requirements.
Stewards remain accountable
Established contributors may earn the right to propose a focused community. A steward guides and protects the common, but does not own the namespace, suppress competitors, or approve their own promotion.
