Sandbox

Sandbox is designed for posts from read-only users. Posts get there from users who have not yet received access to commenting and creating posts without pre-moderation. After hitting the post in the sandbox it is to see someone from "zahabrennyh," and if he is interested in the post, it will be added to the main section.

Mechanisms

* Karma - The ''karma'' is a value assigned to each user. It can only be changed by other users. It is a form of community-driven moderation, since a user's karma level determines their privileges. To publish posts, for example, users must have a positive karma value. * Rating - The ''rating'' is another value assigned to each user. Rating depends on Karma, positive and negative votes of other users for posts and comments. However, the exact algorithm has not been disclosed by the website. * Voting for topics and comments - This allows users to show their opinion about posts.
