will be shown in front of the geographic area when displaying the item to others.
Such indication certifies that the owner of an item has been around specified geographic area,
and is not someone located thousands of miles away.
Note that absence of such certification cannot be relied upon to draw the opposite conclusion.
For instance, device's location detection could be disabled, or IP address location could be inaccurate.
If you are uncomfortable with such certification of your items, choose unsearchable option
for your items, not sharing your watches, and do not create Public Oi's as they are always searchable.

Path to current oithis: always starts from $ROOT_OIN_NAME, and shows every oithis entered by user and in that exact order.
What is oithis: Term 'oithis' refers to oasis of information. For example, when you come to the website, you are entering $GLOBAL_OIN_NAME by default. It is a place where useful information is created, maintained, and shared by the people. However, its settings and behavior are controlled by Oithis, the company.
Your own website: You may think of different oithis as if they were different websites utilizing the same software. The look and feel is very similar. However, they are controlled by their respective owners/administrators.
What if: What if a company, an organization, or any group of people wants to have their own oithis, so they get to decide who may enter such oithis, and what the settings and behavior should be?
Dedicated oithis: Any Oi, listing, or person may host its respective dedicated oithis. It is created by Oi owner/administrator, by listing owner, or by person himself/herself respectfully. While viewing such Oi, listing, or person, any user may attempt to enter its respective dedicated oithis if there is one.
Secure oithis: A company, organization, or person may have their own respective designated range of public IP addresses on the Internet. Such company, organization, or person may create their own respective secure oithis, which may only be entered from a computer/device whose public IP address falls within the range mentioned above. For example, only from the company's internal network.
Nested oithis: While being inside dedicated oithis or secure oithis, any Oi, listing, or person may, in turn, host its own respective dedicated oithis, and so on, and so forth.
For example: A large company may have its own secure oithis, while each department may have its own dedicated oithis within such secure oithis. Dedicated oithis of each department may, in turn, have multiple dedicated oithis for large projects handled by each department.
Access security: The only way to access nested oithis is to enter it via its parent oithis first. Thus, adhering to parent oithis security requirements. In the example above, it would be impossible to enter dedicated oithis of a company's department directly. User has to enter company's secure oithis first. Only then, user would be able to enter dedicated oithis for specific department.
Helpful Hints

This explanation along with control buttons below will be removed prior to printing.
Your current IP address must fall into selected IP address range. This ensures your ability to access secure oithis.
Imagine that... You want to create a simple social media website
in order to express your passion, promote your point of view, present a school project,
offer a product/service, or connect with like-minded people.
It could be as simple as a one sentence summary;
or as elaborate as multiple pages with text, images, and videos; or anything in between.
Imagine if you could give your social media website a meaningful name in plain English.
Imagine if your website would automatically be included in search results,
and presented to others without any ads.
Imagine if you could do that in a matter of minutes, or even seconds.
All of the above is now possible with Oithis application.
By creating Oi (pronounced: O-I, and stands for Object of Interest),
you are effectively creating a simple social media website.
You can give your Oi a meaningful name in plain English.
But more importantly, your Oi can be found
by anyone using words from your Oi name, even partially spelled, and in any order.
All of the above is accomplished at the tiny fraction of time and effort you would need for a traditional website.
Content creation is straightforward and intuitive. It requires no tools or specialized knowledge.
It is so simple that a child could do it for you.
Oi's, Listings, and People have intertwined relationships.
Every Oi and Listing may have:
Every Person may have:
Such relationships form an informational network which could be explored by users.
For example:
Easy to read, step by step guide is available in PDF document: oithis_tutorial.pdf
Easy to read, step by step guide, as well as Oi examples can be viewed online as follows:
Oi social media website or simply Oi (Object of Interest; pronounced O-I) is an atomic unit of intelligent information. Whether we realize it or not, our minds perceive what we see, hear, or already know - in terms of Oi's. Our thinking process is a constant flow which takes us from one Oi to another, and so on, and so forth. It is only natural to organize human knowledge and information, in all its dynamic form and variety - through the use of Oi's.
Every searchable Oi is assigned its intended audience. A non-searchable Oi can only be discovered if it is related to another Oi, listing, or person.
Your thoughts and feelings matter. If you feel they deserve to be expressed through creation of an Oi, so be it.
When you create Public Oi, you become Oi Administrator, and are able to control many aspects of such Oi. However, your administrative position can be challenged by someone else. And, if voting results are not in your favor, the challenger becomes new Oi Administrator.
When you create Private Oi, you become Oi Owner. No one can challenge your ownership and administrative role.
The only significant difference between Public and Private Oi's is who controls them. Anyone is able to view content of Public or Private Oi's.
Public and Private Oi's form two parallel universes, giving control of information to both, the public as well as private entities. They do not compete, but rather complement each other's unique point of view, which in turn enriches informational landscape.
Within each such universe, every Oi and audience combination is unique. Creating very similar Oi's is not allowed. Thus, the amount of Informational Real Estate is limited. Whoever claims it first, may own it indefinitely.
Your voice is never lost. Every searchable Oi can be found by its name and intended audience.
Creation of Oi enables you to accomplish many different things. You can describe Oi on its Main Page, and provide additional pages associated with Oi such as Pictures, Videos, Websites/links, Documents, Music, Files, Maps/directions. You may also update others through Oi Status, specify related Oi's and listings as well as let others to do the same. Any Oi may host public and private conversations as well as personal notes.
Others can find your Oi by its name. Because you gave Oi a name as a result of your natural thought process, it is likely that others will think about your Oi in similar terms when looking for it.
Oi's may have any meaningful names. Even with hashtags. For example, "How to take pictures", "Job search #jobs", "Snow removal", "Plumbers", "Best Italian Restaurants", "President of The United States #potus", "Health Walk #health", "Best Pediatricians", and so on, and so forth.
Listings are similar to Oi websites. However, their purpose is not just being informative. Creating a Listing allows anyone to express their intent to buy, sell, trade, find, offer, inform, or alert others about something. Think of listings as classified ads on steroids.
Listing content could be as simple as one sentence; or as elaborate as multiple pages with text, pictures, and videos; or anything in between.
Every searchable listing is assigned its intended audience. Users can find such listing by entering one or more words from the listing name, even partially spelled, and in any order. However, the listing is only shown if user's Audience of Interest has something in common with intended audience of the listing.
A non-searchable listing can only be discovered if it is related to another item such as Oi, listing, or person. Others can find related listings by first finding an item of interest, and then viewing related listings.
Listing owners can relate their listings to another item if it is allowed by the owner of such other item. Relating to Public Oi's is always allowed.
Notion of related Listings presents a powerful alternative to individuals, marketers, and advertisers. Because all searchable items are naturally structured by interest and demographics, every related listing is automatically associated with its target audience.
While viewing an item, related listings are always just one click away. This makes it easy and intuitive to translate the thought about related products, services, and information into actually seeing related listings within seconds, and at the exact moment when so desired.
Oithis application promotes smart cooperation between consumers and businesses, replacing centuries old advertising model where people are forced to view unwanted ads mixed with useful content.
Creating and managing characteristics have been implemented. However, applying characteristics to Oi's, listings, and people has not been implemented yet. Therefore, filtering Oi's, listings, and people by characteristics is not yet working.
Characteristics allow to describe qualities of an Oi, a Listing, or a Person in a formal and searchable way. For example, Suit size, Dress color, Working hours, Number of bedrooms, Love dogs, Dark hair, Bride's name, Will deliver, Discount percentage, and so on.
When looking for Oi's, Listings, or People, their respective characteristics are shown alongside displayed items. Not only you learn what those characteristics are, but you are able to filter your search results by selecting only characteristics you are interested in.
Most anyone is able to create a new characteristic, or modify an existing characteristic. You are the one who makes a decision to do so.
A new, or a newly modifed characteristic can be utilized right away, and be applied to an Oi, a Listing, or a Person as desired.
Characteristic review process ensures compliance with Oithis policies. Such process has another important objective - to preserve integrity of characteristics, so that they are clear, useful, and unumbiguous. For example, if there is characteristic 'T-shirt size', and someone tries to create characteristic 'Size of T-shirt', such newly created characteristic will not be approved because it would effectively become a duplicate of an already existing characteristic.
Reputation gives you an idea of how useful and interesting an Oi or a listing is, and how helpful and interesting a person is. Reputation above 500 is considered to be OK. If you have any doubts, have a close look at any Oi, listing, or person. Then, judge for yourself.
Over time, reputation of Oi's, listings, and people may change. It is recalculated whenever someone views Oi, listing, or person respectfully.
Reputation calculation for any Oi, listing, or person always starts with base reputation of 500. Then, various factors are taken into account.
Here are the factors which increase reputation. Affected items are shown in bold.
Here are the factors which decrease reputation. Affected items are shown in bold.
Some of the things affected by reputation of Oi, listing, or person:
| Minimum reputation to create Public Oi. | $MIN_REP_TO_CREATE_PUBLIC_OI |
| Minimum reputation to create Private Oi. | $MIN_REP_TO_CREATE_PRIVATE_OI |
| Minimum reputation to create listing. | $MIN_REP_TO_CREATE_LISTING |
| Minimum reputation to create Alert listing. | $MIN_REP_TO_CREATE_ALERT_LISTING |
| Minimum reputation to appreciate Oi's, listings, and people. | $MIN_REP_TO_APPRECIATE |
| Minimum reputation to disapprove Oi's, listings, and people. | $MIN_REP_TO_DISAPPROVE |
| Minimum reputation to create dedicated oithis. | $MIN_REP_TO_CREATE_CHILD_OIN |
| AVN$MIN_REPUTATION_TO_CREATE_SECURE_OIN | AV$MIN_REPUTATION_TO_CREATE_SECURE_OIN |
| Minimum reputation to participate in public or private conversation. | $MIN_REP_TO_POST |
| Minimum reputation to create characteristic definition. | $MIN_REP_TO_CREATE_CHAR_DEF |
| Minimum reputation to modify characteristic definition. | $MIN_REP_TO_MODIFY_CHAR_DEF |
How we calculate reputation may change over time as we fine tune the application, and process users' feedback. This help section will be updated accordingly.
On the one hand, Oithis application acts as a search engine when someone is looking for Oi's (pronounced O-I, and stands for Object of Interest). On the other hand, Oithis application allows creation of Oi's.
Each Oi is effectively a simple social media website offering extended features such as intended audience, multiple designated pages, related items, interested people, public as well as private one-on-one conversations, and more.
Here are a few significant conclusions.
As a result of the above, and over time, Oithis application may become the second layer of the Internet by absorbing most static websites, creating point of entry for many dynamic websites, and offering a viable solution to many people whose desire to have their own website has never materialized.
Applicable credits and fees are displayed throughout the application. However, applying fees has not been implemented yet. Therefore, no one is being billed for the use of Oithis application at this time.
Here are credits and fees for Oi's, listings, and people for current oithis ($OIN_NAME). Some fees may be rounded in order to avoid too many decimal places. Credits and fees related to appreciation and disapproval vary and therefore are not shown here. They can be viewed within contextual help when trying to appreicate or disapprove Oi, listing, or person.

Item id will be displayed right before it.Services being offered. Oithis ('the company'), offers web based platform 'Oithis Web Services - For the People' (OWS-FTP, 'the services') through the use of its web based application ('the application'), which is primarily intended for the people of the United States. Individuals, companies, and organizations may create readily searchable web based content without the need to create websites or utilize search engine optimization techniques. No special skills are required, so that an average person is able to do so. Anyone may search for content created by others as explained further below. Main purpose of OWS-FTP is to maintain human knowledge in all its dynamic form, expression, and variety while structuring information for the convenience of a human mind, and allowing people to interact in a variety of ways. The services may change over time, some features may disappear, and new features may be introduced. Check these Terms periodically in order to stay up-to-date. There may be no notification about future changes. The most recent version of the Terms overrides any older version. Services may experience interruptions. Limits on the use of the services may be imposed at any time. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such changes and occurrencies. In liability statements within the Terms, 'the company' should also read 'including officers, directors, employees, and partners'.
Who may use the services. You may only use the services if you agree to these Terms. If you are using the services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or any other legal entity, you certify that you are authorized to do so, and in such case it is implied that when these Terms refer to the words "you" and "yours", it indirectly refers to such entity.
Use by minors. Minors (children of ages 17 and below) must receive consent of their parents/guardians in order to use the application. Their use of the application constitutes that such consent was received. It is responsibility of the parent/guardian to lock child's audience of interest so that child is only able to find Oi's, listings, and people whose intended audiences include appropriate age, while at the same time not being able to find Oi's, listings, and people whose intended audiences do not include appropriate age. A child may accidentally or intentionally be able to unlock and expand audience of interest age range, and be able to view any content as a result. Any content designated by content creators for the audience with ages of 17 and below may accidentally, intentionally, or negligently contain materials not suitable for minors. It is responsibility of the parent/guardian to supervise a child, and to prevent such occurrences. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents.
Objects of Intereset. Oi (Object of Interest, pronounced O-I) is the centerpiece of Oithis application. Refer to the main help topic 'What is Oi website?' for detailed explanation. Oi's can be created by any logged-in user. Oi's can be searched for by words in their names, by their intended audiences, or by the combination of the two. Registered users of the application are presented as specialized objects of interest and referred to as people. Listings are also specialized objects of interest. Refer to the main help topic 'What is Listing?' for details. Public Oi's belong to the public. User who creates public Oi becomes public Oi administrator, and is in immediate control of such public Oi. However, user's administrative position can be challenged by another user, and if voting results are unfavorable, the challenger becomes new public Oi administrator automatically. Public Oi cannot be deleted, but only abandoned. An abandoned public Oi becomes unclaimed, and may be claimed by any user, who then automatically becomes such public Oi administrator. If that happens, the original Oi administrator can no longer claim such Oi back. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such occurrences. User who creates private Oi becomes the owner of such private Oi. No one can challenge private Oi ownership. Private Oi may be deleted by its owner. Public and private Oi's represent two parallel universes where interests of publicly controlled and privately controlled information complement each other instead of competing with each other.
Informational Real Estate. An individual object of interest (Oi, listing, or person) represents a piece of informational real estate, i.e. informational real estate property. Traditional real estate refers to a piece of land and structures built on top of it. The latter could be as simple as an empty lot, or as complex as a house or building, including roadways, parks, gardens, various water, electricity, and communications infrustructure. Similarly, a piece of informational real estate refers to its name and audience combination, and informational structures built upon it. The latter may include, but not limited to, summary, status, main page, other designated pages, public and private conversations, relationship links with other object of interest, appreciation and disapproval links with other objects of interest. The company maintains such informational real estate properties while assessing its owners maintenance and usage fees. A person who creates an object of intereset is effectively claiming such piece of informational real estate, and may own it indefinitely or delete/abandon at any time according to these Terms. For every public Oi, its name and audience combination is unique among all public Oi's. For every private Oi, its name and audience combination is unique among all private Oi's. However, it is allowed to have a public Oi and a private Oi having the same name and audience combination. Creating very similar public Oi's is not allowed. Creating very similar private Oi's is not allowed. Therefore, when it comes to Oi's, the amount of informational real estate is limited. Very similar Oi's are those that would have very similar names and very similar audiences combinations. Exact manner of determination is not being disclosed, and may change over time. It is possible that at some point in time you are able to create Oi similar to someone elses's Oi, however at another point in time such action may no longer be allowed. It is possible that at some point in time someone else is not able to create Oi similar to one of yours, however at another point in time such action may be allowed. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such occurrences.
Safeguarding your login and account information. The company is proactively safeguarding user login and account information. No matter how small, there is always a risk that such information may be compromised accidentally, negligently, or intentionally. You should consider such risk on whether to utilize, or how to utilize the application. It is also your responsibility to safeguard the application login and account information by using strong passwords, utilizing pause authentication feature when entering passwords, not sharing login information with others, safeguarding it from unauthorized access, and resetting your password in case you discover unauthorized access to your account. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of your user account being breached regardless of whose fault it was. You may cancel your user account at any time, at which point you have to explicitly delete all Oi's and listings that you own/manage. You may restore your deleted user account, and recover those Oi's and listings which have not been deleted permanently. We do not guarantee that cancelled user account and any deleted Oi's and listings are preserved, and even if deleted user account, Oi's, and listings are preserved, they may be deleted at any time automatically. Deleted Oi's have their names automatically modified by adding word "DELETED" or similar expressions. Deleting an Oi may open up corresponding space within informational real state, which then can be taken by someone else. As a result, it may be impossible to restore previously deleted Oi to have its original name and audience combination. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such occurrences.
Who is responsible for content? Owner/administrator of Oi, listing, or person self is fully responsible for the published content, and must comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations as well as requirements of these Terms. Oi's, listings, and people with intended audience age which includes age range of 17 and below must not contain presentation not suitable for minors. Oi's, listings, and people having content not suitable for minors may not relate (directly, or indirectly by saving an item while electing sharing) those items with other Oi's, listings, and people whose intended audience age range includes age range of 17 and below. It is possible that you or person you gave access to your login, may accidentally or intentionally publish information which may turn out to be inappropriate to you or others. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents. Owner/administrator of any object of interest is fully responsible for its content to be in compliance with existing laws, and is also responsible for the consequences of how such content affects other users as well as all people and any specific person. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of inaccurate, misleading, upsetting, offensive, inappropriate, harmful, deceptive, or otherwise detrimental content.
Content consumption. Consuming published content includes (but not limited to) viewing, reading, listening, memorizing, being upset, being excited, being distraught, being distracted, and/or otherwise reacting to it. Consumption of content of Oi's, listings, and people is at your own risk. Such content may be found to be inaccurate, misleading, upsetting, offensive, inappropriate, harmful, deceptive, or otherwise detrimental. The company does not actively monitor or control such content. However, we reserve the right to remove any content, and suspend objects of interest which violate these Terms.
Advertisements. Oithis application does not engage in advertisement. Users will not see ads mixed with content. Instead, Oi's, listings, and people seeking promotion may be elected by their owners/administrators to relate (directly, or indirectly as mentioned above) with other Oi's, listings, and people. When such other Oi's, listings, and people are shown, corresponding related counts are prominently displayed. If so desired, viewer may click/tap on any such count, at which point related items are displayed. Oithis application promotes smart cooperation between consumers and businesses instead of utilizing forced advertisement model where users are forced to view uncolicited ads mixed with content. Note that content of Oi's, listings, and people may contain ads created by users of the application. The company has no control over such ads. However, you have the power to discourage such activity by disapproving respective object of interest.
Multiple oithis. Term 'oithis' (pronounced O-I-THIS) refers to a singular virtual space (like a website) where users may enter, register, log-in, create Oi's and listings, interact with each other, look for information, etc. OWS-FTP offers unlimited number of such virtual spaces on demand. They are effectively multiple dimensions of informational real estate. For example, when coming to the website, users of the application enter public oithis called 'Global Oithis'. It is controlled and managed by the company. Every Oi, listing, and person may host their own respective 'dedicated oithis'. Owner of Oi, listing, or person self who created dedicated oithis becomes its owner, and has full control over it. Entering such dedicated oithis is like going to a completely different website while utilizing the same web based application. Dedicated oithis is fully controlled by the owner/administrator of hosting Oi, listing, or person respectfully. Any logged-in user of the application may elect to create 'secure oithis', which then can be entered directly via 'oithis.com/secure' URL from any IP address which falls into a certain IP address range specified during creation of such secure oithis. User who created secure oithis becomes its owner, and fully controls it. Any Oi, listing, or person of dedicated or secure oithis may in turn host its own dedicated oithis, thus creating a nested oithis structure. Owner of any secure or dedicated oithis is fully responsible for its management and content, as well as for the management and content of any nested oithis.
User location data. The following is performed by the application for public Oi's, searchable private Oi's, searchable listings, and searchable people. The application occasionally determines owner's/administrator's device location data, but only if allowed by user's browser settings. Such location data may be reasonably accurate. The application occasionally (and unconditionally) determines location of owner's/administrator's device IP address via a third party service. Such location data may be accurate, inaccurate, or even unavailable. Available location data is used to provide automatic geographic area certification for the audience of such Oi, listing, or person respectfully. Certifying such geographic area means that owner/administrator of Oi, listing, or person respectfully has been around such geographic area, and not someone located thousands of miles away. Such certification is purposefully vague as to precision and timing because it is not intended for tracking purposes. Note that absence of such certification cannot be relied upon to draw the opposite conclusion because user's device location detection could be disabled, and IP address location could be inaccurate, or unavailable. If you are uncomfortable with this feature of the application, you should not create or manage public Oi's (as they are always searchable), and always elect unsearchable status for your private Oi's, your listings, and your person self. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences if others learn that you have been around a certain geographic area as explained above.
User activity timestamps. Timestamps of user's activity, indicating precise time accurate to a second, are displayed to others throughout various screens of the application. Such timestamps may include, but not limited to, time of creation of Oi or listing, time of user's registration, time of updating user's status, time of updating Oi, listing, or user parameters, time of posting in a public or private conversation, time of appreciation or disapproval. As a result, others may learn exact time of user's activity, whether it occurred recently or years ago. There could be personal, professional, or legal matters where such information may turn out to be detrimental to a user. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents.
Conversations. Every Oi, listing, and person may host public conversations, private one-on-one conversations, and personal notes. Only logged-in user may participate in a conversation or write a personal note. Public conversations can be viewed by anyone, even by guest users who are not logged in. Private one-on-one conversations can only be viewed by the two parties involved. Personal notes can only be viewed by their authors. Although unlikely, a software bug or a piece of malicious code may potentially expose private one-on-one conversations and personal notes to others. You should consider such risk, and avoid posting sensitive information which may harm you or others if exposed. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents. If you delete your private Oi, your listing, or person self (i.e. your user account), then all public conversations, your private one-on-one conversations, and your personal notes hosted by such Oi, listing, or person respectfully may no longer be available for viewing, posting, or replying. As explained above, if you delete your public Oi, it becomes unclaimed. Public conversations hosted by such Oi are preserved. However, your private one-on-one conversations and personal notes are deleted. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such occurrences. In order to protect your privacy, you may scramble sensitive information beyond recognition utilizing 'oithis.com/scramble' utility prior to posting. This requires you and the reader of your post to share a passphrase outside of the application in order to be able to unscramble previously scrambled text. It is your responsibility to share such passphrase securely, and without the use of the application. It is possible that someone may guess, steal, or somehow acquire your passphrase, and successfully unscramble the text as a result. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents. At your own risk, you are free to use the above utility to scramble any text for your personal privacy protection. At your own risk, you are free to save the above utility to your computer/device, and then use that saved copy of the utility instead of the online version. At your own risk, you may share this utility with others. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such actions. You or anyone else is not allowed to modify a copy of the utility, or to share modified copy with others. However, you are free to provide your feedback and suggestions.
Appreciations and Disapprovals. Every Oi, listing, or person may be appreciated or disapproved by any logged in user. An optional comment may be provided. Appreciation and disapproval fees (contributions in very small amounts) are assessed as explained below. User must have positive amount of funds in order to pay such fees. Anyone may view who appreciated/disapproved any Oi, listing, or person. Anyone may view what Oi's, listings, and people where appreciated/disapproved by any specific user. While viewing such information, optional comments are shown, however amounts of contribution are not. Although unlikely, a software bug, a piece of malicious code, or a hacker may potentially expose contribution amounts to others. You should consider such risk while utilizing appreciation and disapproval features of the application. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents. User being disapproved is assessed a disapproval fee which is equal to a small percentage of disapproval contribution mentioned above. You agree to pay such disapproval fees when due.
User privacy. OWS-FTP does not collect, use, or share users' personal information for two reasons. First, we respect people's privacy as one of the most fundamental human rights. Second, there is no need to generate revenue derived from the use or sale of users' personal information to advertisers and other third parties because the company's revenue model relies on OWS-FTP maintenance and usage fees. Your login email and billing details are scrambled when stored in the database. Your screen name may represent your real name or a ficticious name. You are able to change your screen name at any time. The company reserves the right to inspect any content created by users, including but not limited to any object of interest content, appreciation/disapproval data, public conversations, private conversations, and personal notes for the purpose of investigations regarding potential violations of these Terms. We may also share such information with law enforcement agencies in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. a court order, or a subpoena), and in such instances we may be prohibited from informing affected users. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents.
Reputation. Numeric reputation is calculated for every Oi, listing, and person, and is prominently displayed when any of such items are shown. Refer to the main help topic 'What is reputation?' for details.
Content moderation. Content moderation is performed by users of the application through the following mechanism. On the one hand, certain Oi's, listings, and people may be appreciated. As a result their reputation goes up. On the other hand, certain Oi's, listings, and people may be disapproved. As a result their reputation goes down. By default, search results are always displayed so that items with higher reputation are shown first. As a result, items with lower reputation are shown last, and may even be hidden in case of very low reputation.
Prohibited content. Refers to text, images, videos, graphics, audio, web links, or any other type of content.
Revenue sharing with users. User who appreciates Oi, listing, or person is assessed appreciation fee called appreciation contribution. Significant percentage of this contribution is distributed to the owner/administrator of such Oi, listing, or person respectfully. User who disapproves Oi, listing, or person is assessed disapproval fee called disapproval contribution. Owner of Oi, listing, or person being disapproved is assessed a disapproval fee as a percentage of the original disapproval amount. Significant percentage of the above mentioned fees is distributed to owners of Oi's, listings, and people being later appreciated. Specific percentages and mechanisms may be viewed within contextual help when attempting to appreciate or disapprove. Daily promotion fee is assessed when Oi or listing is associated (related) to another Oi or listing. A percentage of such fee is distributed to the owner/administrator of such other Oi or listing. Specific percentages may be viewed within contextual help when attempting to relate.
Credits and fees. It is free to enter 'Global Oithis' as well as any secure or dedicated oithis. It is free to look for Oi's, listings, and people as well as to view their respective content. Otherwise, refer to main help topic 'Credits and fees' for details.
Sharing of information with external parties. The application facilitates sharing links to (but not limited to) Oi's, listings, people, and text stereograms with multiple social media and email platforms. It is your sole responsibility to make sure such sharing does not violate their respective terms of service, regardless of whether you are a logged-in or not. You or another person who you provided with your login (intentionally, accidentally, or negligently) may share information which does violate other platform terms of service. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents.
Paying monthly bills. A registered user incurs monthly fees as detailed in the main help topic 'Credits and fees'. Monthly bill is provided to every such user via email and/or in-app notification. Such bill must be paid promptly. Failure to pay monthly bills on time may reduce user's reputation. After prolonged non-payment period, user's account may be suspended or removed along with user's Oi's and listings.
Text stereograms. The application allows to generate text stereograms comprised of text characters, and then share such stereograms with others via a corresponding link, or by copying text from the screen. See main help option 'Hide secret inside 3D text'. Such stereograms are intended for entertainment purposes only. They may conceal a text message, which can be easily seen by others, and therefore cannot be relied upon to conceal true secrets, passwords, and other personal or sensitive information. You may intentionally, accidentally, or negligently reveal sensitive information through the use of stereograms. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents. Viewing stereograms may have negative effect on some people. Avoid viewing steregrams and avoid sending stereograms to others if you know or suspect they could be harmful. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents. Viewing stereograms may have positive effect on some people by providing eye relaxation and improved vision. Such positive effect may or may not occur for others. You will not hold the company liable if your vision does not improve as a result of viewing stereograms.
Use of cookies. The application is utilizing browser cookies in order to preserve your session id and other non-identifiable pieces of information about your browser session. You are free to clear cookies at the end of each browser session. If you do so, then on the next browser session the application will not "remember" you, and will behave as if you invoked the application from a new computer/device. If you clear cookies in the middle of the session, then the behavior of the application is unpredictable. If you completely disable the use of cookies, then the application will not function at all. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of your manipulation of browser cookies. A hacker or malicious software may learn browser cookies associated with the application, gain access to your account as a result, and then cause unpredictable harm to you or others via the use of the application on your behalf. You will not hold the company liable for the consequences of such incidents.

How to view
Get your eyes very close to 3D Text. Then, move away very slowly. At some point, you will see a flat background consisting of random characters. It will appear deep inside your screen. However, the hidden message will appear closer to you. If this doesn't work, continue with instructions below.
Find two 'X' symbols at the top of 3D text. They are your guide to successfully achieving 3D effect.
Look between the two 'X' symbols, and don't move your eyes away. Simply relax your eyes as if you are looking through the screen at a remote object. One way to achieve this would be to unfocus your eyes by pretending that you are looking in the mirror and trying to see your reflection. As a matter of fact, if you position yourself in a dark area while facing bright light, you are likely to see your reflection in the screen.
Notice that each 'X' symbol turned into two 'X' symbols, so you observe total of four of them. We are only interested in the two 'X' symbols which are in the middle.
Gently adjust focus of your eyes so that the two 'X' symbols in the middle merge and become one combined 'X' symbol. You end up looking straight at the combined 'X' symbol, while having two blurry 'X' symbols, one on each side, as illustrated below.
X X X
Keep staring at the combined 'X' symbol in the middle. Just relax and keep staring. All the magic comes by itself. And when it does, start moving your eyes very slowly around the seemingly random characters.
Most characters form a flat surface which appears to be deep inside the screen. However, the hidden message appears closer to you. The biggest secret to 3D effect is to stop trying to see it. Just give it a blank stare.
Characteristic ID is represented by three numbers connected with a dash. For example, 1175-1-7. For a new characteristic definition which hasn't been saved, these numbers may all be zeros. For example, 0-0-0.
The first number is unique characteristic Id. Every characteristic is uniquely identified by it.
The second number represents change group. It starts from 1, and gets incremented every time a set of changes is introduced to a characteristic defintion.
The third number is version within the change group, and is incremented for every action affecting characteristic definition.
For example, someone creates a new characteristic definition. The very first time it is saved, it is assigned a unique characteristic Id, group 1 and version 1. As changes are made by the same person, the change group stays the same. However, version number gets incremented as 2, 3, etc. Once characteristic definition is approved, its version number may reach 5 or even 10.
If someone else decides to make changes to an already approved characteristic definition, the change group is incremented to 2, and then every change by the same person produces a new version within a group as 1, 2, 3, etc. If changes are approved, the new change group number will be 2, and the new version may reach 5 or even 10.
When applying characteristic, the application always utilizes the most recent approved characteristic definition. You may be presented with characteristic definition whose version is not the latest. This is normal, and may occur if a new set of changes hasn't been approved.
Status of characteristic defintion can be Enabled or Disabled. Most of the time, you will observe Enabled status. A Disabled characteristic defintion is rare, and ordinarily not visible.
Characteristic defintion may be in one of the following states.
New changes - new characteristic definition is being worked on, or new changes are being made to an existing chracteristic definition. Such characteristic definition is only visible to a person who is making changes, and to those who manage characteristics, but not to other people.
More changes - characteristic definition is being worked on after a reviewer requested more changes, which are needed in order to satisfy the approval process. It is also possible that a person who submitted characteristic definition for review, later decided to make more changes. Such characteristic definition is only visible to a person who is making changes, and to those who manage characteristics, but not to other people.
Pending review - changes are complete, and ready to be reviewed by an authorized person. Such characteristic definition is only visible to a person who is making changes, and to those who manage characteristics, but not to other people.
In review - characteristic defintion is being reviewed. Such characteristic definition is only visible to a person who is making changes, and to those who manage characteristics, but not to other people.
Approved - characteristic definition has been approved, and is available for use to anyone.
Disapproved - characteristic definition has been disapproved, and is not avialable for use.
Suspended - characteristic defintion has been suspended. Usually, for a good reason. Ordinarily, such characteristic definition is not visible.
Removed - characteristic definition has been removed. It could've been a duplicate, no longer valid, or in violation of Oithis policy. Ordinarily, such characteristic definition is not visible.
