1. Overview
What is plutarchy.channel?
plutarchy.channel is a competitive posting platform where users pay 'PLUTA', the site-specific virtual currency, to post and interact. Prestige is earned through visibility, linguistic skill, and economic dominance. Currency is not redeemable for cash. Periodic contests or events may award prizes at our discretion.
2. Posting [&] Participation
What should I know before I post?
You should know most actions (primarily making posts and comments) cost currency, that your content can be seen globally and could be archived, that deletions do not refund spend, and you should know The Rules.
How do I post?
Create an account → Buy currency → Compose text or upload media → Weight post cost → Submit at acknowledged cost.
What do I get charged for?
Creating posts, creating comments, liking posts, liking comments, following users, and many other select prestige features.
What do I not get charged for?
Browsing, blocking/muting, and reporting abuse.
How do I delete my own post(s)?
