## In the ONO social network, we have designed a new kind of system in order to achieve better transparency & decentralization, less plagiarism & spam and more social cohesiveness.
As we have seen in many central and decentralized systems, when there is too much opaqueness with regard to how moderators are chosen for social spaces, (just look at what happened to censorship in Bitcoin forums) problems become unmanageable and people end up leaving the platform.
## ONO will have an entirely new concept called Super Partners.
The first generation of Super Partners will be chosen by the founder. But thereafter, each Super Partner will be voted in or out, based on community votes. There will be 51 Super Partners and the system is similar to the Block Producer roles within Delegated Proof of Stake systems. In this case, however, the Super Partners will have social, content managing and community duties as their main function. The Super Partners are the most critical role within ONO and they will receive the highest compensation.
The first generation of Super Partners are now being selected, so if you or someone you know fits this description, please add a comment below and @stellabelle will follow up with you.
# 7.5 Super Partners
Super Partners are the loyal guardians of ONO’s values and are the main people responsible for the quality of the social atmosphere. Not only that, the Super Partners are required to educate new users about ONO and its values, and also assist in developing more community partners and volunteers.
The mission of the Super Partners is to maintain the security, freedom and decentralization of the ONO social network, extract harmful content, prevent abusive behavior from spreading, and transmit ONO values to others. This will be the main mechanism for the ONO social network to flourish.
## Super Partners should be: loyal, kind, self-aware, humble, dedicated to a long-term vision and committed to serving all of humanity.
### Punishment
In the ONO social network, the content ecosystem is a crucial component. Optimizing the quality of content and reducing the amount of harmful content that users pay attention to is extremely important. We can use a reputation mechanism to promote the creation of high-quality content as well as curb the proliferation of low-quality content. We can settle case disputes through referendums. However, there is still the problem of lack of efficiency in judging the content of the common program.
### Communication and Incentives
Undoubtedly, the role of the Super Partner will assume important responsibilities and will also receive a large amount of ONOT incentives. However, it is worth mentioning that the Super Partners need to reasonably distribute the ONOT obtained according to the operational requirements.
In order to ensure the safety of users in social networks and the sustainable development of the Super Partner system, the Super Partners’ real information and operational data will be required to be published publicly. Any user who is not doing the required work or who is abusive, will be able to be voted out by the community.
### First Generation Super Partners
The first generation of Super Partners will commence in April 2018. At that time, the ONO social network will still be in development and therefore, Super Partners will not be electable. But ONO’s guidelines state that Super Partners are required for the community.
Early trust and support are important components for social networks. ONO is especially grateful for the first generation of Super Partners and the communities that help construct the social atmosphere of ONO.
There are many different opportunities in ONO. Community partners and volunteers can apply to become first generation Super Partners. Super Partners can voluntarily decide to step down but they cannot transfer their title to others.
In this beginning phase, there will be 51 Super Partners who embody ONO’s values and who are willing to contribute to the early development of the ONO social network. In order to ensure that the process is truly open and transparent, ONO will publish the activities and associated data of the Super Partners’ work.
### Super Partner Alternates
In addition to the community partners and volunteers, the Super Partners also create a Super Partners Alternate list. Alternative Super Partners are also selected by community partners/volunteers. When the Super Partners in the trial phase are appointed or removed, the alternate Super Partners will fill in the vacancies.
### Trial Mechanism
Due to the special nature of the first generation Super Partners, the Super Partners will be in a trial phase before the first community voting occurs. During this trial phase, any Super Partners who have not fulfilled their responsibilities will be appointed or removed.
### Appointment and Removal Mechanism
In order to ensure the safety of users in social networks and the sustainable development of the Super Partnership system, the Super Partners’ real-life information and operations in ONO will be required to be published. Any user may impeach a Super Partner if he or she does not work or does evil.
### Transparent Documentation of Activities
According to ONO’s philosophy, and in order to ensure that the work of the Super Partners is open and transparent on the ONO platform, the daily activities (number of teams, the workload, number of rewards, etc.) of the Super Partners will be published. This will be done to ensure that ONO users can clearly understand the amount and quality of work of each Super Partner so they can decide if the Super Partner should be voted in or out at the next general election.
At the same time, ONO will organize Super Partners weekly and monthly meetings. Each Super Partner will submit work reports on the activities, including but not limited to the team building situation, problems encountered, and community feedback. The meeting will be documented publicly. This transparent system reflects the determination of the ONO team and Super Partners to jointly build and improve the social ecosystem.
### Incentives
The ONO team will take out a fixed amount of ONOTs each day from the reward pool to give to the Super Partners in the trial phase as a reward for their efforts.
ONO implements a re-election system for Super Partners. According to the “ONO Super Partner General Election System” of that year, the list of Super Partners is updated each year. The first generation Super Partners will hold a general election in October 2018. At that time, they will open the election and rely on the referendum to conduct the election.
### Election Mechanism
ONO has detailed procedures for the Super Partner election.
### Candidates:
On the basis of free and decentralized community governance, ONO will issue a statement about the the general election, reasons, various times/dates, the number of members in the next term, and the method of election. Interested parties may openly disclose application materials that meet the election rules in any channel. They may publish campaign statements and declarations through any channel.
### Objection Period
ONO will collect qualified candidates and make public announcements on a regular basis. There will be a period of time before the formal voting results are announced. During this period, the user can initiate a dissenting statement against the candidate through a referendum, and finally determine whether or not he/she will continue to have the position according to the result of the referendum.
### Eligibility for election and Referendum:
When the objection period ends, all new candidate channels will be frozen and everyone can vote for support for the candidate who has been publicized.
### Elected:
When the referendum period ends, according to the results of the vote, ONO will announce the list of winners and give them the title of Super Partner. From the date of election, all new Super Partners will begin to implement Super Partners’ work and carry out the ONO mission.
### Withdrawal
Super Partners are eligible to withdraw at any time. After the withdrawal, they will be replaced by an alternative Super Partner. The monthly bonus will be calculated on a daily basis. If they apply for withdrawal during the election period, they will lose their current election eligibility.
### Options
From the referendum, according to the results of the poll, ONO will select candidates who did not get enough votes to be Super Partners and place them on a list of alternative Super Partners. In the case when the number of Super Partners is less than 51 due to withdrawal or dismissal, the alternate Super Partners must fill the vacancies according to the number of votes they received.
### Appointment and Removal Mechanism
In order to prevent the Super Partners from committing evil as well as to protect the safety, freedom, and decentralization of all people in the ONO social network, we set up a mechanism for the appointment and removal of Super Partners.
Everyone can refer to the “hiding of content rules” and referendum in order to resolve the controversy. That is, if a Super Partner does not hide abusive user content arbitrarily according to the “Hiding Rules”, then the Super Partner will soon be voted on.
If the Super Partner loses more than 75% and exceeds 3 times in the order for the relevant appeal, the super-partner will be restricted from his or her content hiding rights on that day. If the Super Partner is punished more than three times, the SP is deemed to have committed an evil act and is removed from the list of Super Partners.
In this way, it is ensured that the job of hiding abusive content remains to be effective and sustainable for the network.
### Formal Super Partner Incentive
The main work of the early Super Partners is managing and hiding abusive content. ONO will reward Super Partners with 2% of the total daily ONOT as a reward for their work and efforts.
### Hiding Content Rules
The hiding content rule is a rule for ensuring that the Super Partners can work better and collaborate with each other to reach agreement. Like the “ONO Social Network Common Program”, it will be continuously optimized and iterated.
Content that does not conform to the “ONO Social Networking Common Program” should be hidden.
In order to protect the diversity of content, content must not be hidden according to personal wishes or preferences of the Super Partners.
If content is found to be contentious, the Super Partner is responsible for initiating a referendum to resolve the dispute.
Users have the right to appeal their hidden content and find a solution to their dispute.
