Participation Rules

TSVN was designed to appeal to a broad audience of people with different values, interests and talents.

General Rules

• a. Share, learn and have fun.

  b. Anyone can explore headlines, blogs, articles and the forum. But... to submit anything and to vote, you need to be a member.

  c. If you are old enough to think about the future of our planet and humanity then you are old enough to participate at TSVN.

  d. You can add content in different languages.

• e. A future headline is a simple text-based statement that presents some vision of what a better world might look like tomorrow - near or long term. Anything remotely possible and something you believe to be an improvement to our world is fair game.

  f. Individual members are given tools to block specific content and other participants. There is no limit to what can be blocked. If enough members block something or someone then TSVN may put a system wide block on it too. This effectively removes it from the platform. We do not delete content or accounts. Our members in effect police the network for us.

Game Rules

• i. You must be a member to vote.

  ii. No limit to how often you can vote.

  iii. You can change your vote anytime and any number of times.

  iv. You must vote on a particular headline to access its Support Story.

• v. You can earn one point for each vote your headline receives, but this is limited by the votes you add to other player's headlines, but also no limit.
