General

What is Throw™?

Throw™ is a social media platform that provides unlimited and immediate access to people willing to answer questions other people have. We call this “MIND-SOURCING”.

More importantly, it is a community that promotes a safe environment of positive, respectful, diverse, honest, and unbiased feedback.

You may also become a premium member and enjoy full access to everything, all features and no ads.

Can I ask questions as well as answer them?

Precisely! You may throw (ask) a question whenever you like simply by tapping on the “Ask” button on the home screen. All users may answer other user’s questions that have been assigned to them. Additional to this, there is a selection of questions all users may browse and answer and users with high scores may answer questions on the feeds. It’s all about what you need and feel like at any point in time, you are in control.

sCORE

What is the “score” and what is it for?

Our main objective is to provide value to our users by creating a space that fosters and nurtures positive, honest and unbiased content. For this, we have created a mechanism that allows us to promote users that are more aligned with this vision and demote users that go against it.

A few days after joining, every user will be assigned a score that reflects how good of a job they are doing based on a series of attributes that we consider important in this vision.

This score will constantly be updated based on each user’s behavior.

To know more what you can do to improve your score, simply tap on the star on the top of the home screen. You will see a detailed breakdown of your score.

What effect will each user’s score have in their experience?

People with a higher score will get questions assigned with higher priority than people with lower scores.

Certain features will be directly impacted by the score. For example, users with high scores will be able to answer any question on the platform whereas users with lower score will have some restrictions.

In the end score is each user’s reputation in the platform.

How can I improve my score?

By:

Being more active (asking more or answering more)
Improving the content and quality of your answers
- Getting more people to like your answers
- Try to avoid having your content tagged as negative
Avoid having any of your answers reported for either offensive or bad quality content
Boosting! It counts just as likes on your answers

Cash and payouts

How much compensation do I receive for each answer I give?

The compensation you get for each response is a variable fee determined based on your score at that particular time. The better your score the more you will earn. If you are an active user with a good score, you may make some decent cash an hour.

Is there a minimum or a maximum amount for withdrawing my balance as a payout?

There is a minimum as there is a third-party processing fee to send the funds to your bank account but any figure over that amount is ok. However, we do encourage users to accumulate and make these transactions as large as possible for this third-party fee to affect your funds as least as possible and get the most of it to your bank account.

When will I receive my payout?

We process most of the third-party transactions at the end of the month so you may expect the funds in your account within the first few days of the next month.

Technical

How many questions can I throw per day?

As many as you like. There is no limit!

How many questions can I answer per day?

As many as you like as there is no limitation. You will get questions assigned to you in your catch page as throws (questions) are made throughout the day. However, there is a rating system. The better score you have the more questions you get assigned! Keep in mind you may also browse for more questions to answer.

How does Throw™ determine who to assign each question to?

We take in consideration user expertise as well as score (reputation) to find the most appropriate matches for each question. This way we maximize the chances of offering higher quality answers.

How can I receive more questions?

By increasing your score! We favor users with higher scores and assign them questions in that order.

Make sure you have your notifications on so that we may let you know when there are questions available to answer. The more questions you answer, the higher your score, and the more money you can make!

Can I edit my question once I have launched a Throw?

Yes, you will have 1 minute to make changes to your throw. After that it will not be possible as it will already be assigned to other users.

Moderation

What if I get negative, offensive or trash (gibberish) answers?

We have a robust moderation protocol as well as a very strict policy for this. If this happens, all you must do is tag it as negative content or report it as offensive or trash (gibberish) content; in the case of offensive or trash (gibberish) content we’ll dig into it, and if you’re right, we will penalize the offender.

In what cases and how can I report someone?

One of the main goals we have is to create a safe environment of valuable, positive, respectful, diverse, honest, and unbiased feedback. And for this we must neutralize any person that provides malicious, disrespectful, and offensive content as well as content that is unrelated (ex: copy paste from another topic) or bad quality (ex: gibberish text).

In summary,

Immediately report any content that is either offensive or bad quality, the users that are found guilty of this will be given a few warnings before being banned, their score will be drastically affected (so they will have less opportunities to answer more questions). Be mindful and do not try to abuse the system as untruthful reports may eventually have an impact on the user that triggered it.

Who decides if the content is offensive or bad quality?

Whenever a report is filed, the case is immediately processed and sent to several catchers acting as a jury who will determine if the content is in fact offensive or of bad quality in a majority vote basis. So, normal people just like you; with no bias on the quarrel will decide this. As a catcher, you may receive this kind of question from time to time.

How does getting reported affect me?

Depending on the category of the report (bad quality content or offensive content) you will get a number of warnings. These warnings significantly affect your score and if you get more than a total of 4 warnings, you will immediately be banned from the platform.

We encourage users to take this seriously and to try to be the best version of themselves as warnings are permanent and banned accounts will not be reinstated.

Security & Privacy

Is my personal data safe?

Of course! We maintain the highest encryption and safety protocols to protect our users’ data. On the other hand, we do not disclose or sell any of your data to any third party. So, you may feel at ease knowing that your data is contained and safe.

As a platform made for the community, we want to avoid using shady principles that have been adopted by most social media companies which profit from preying on their users and selling their data, we prioritize our users first. This means we are not selling your personal data.

I’m worried about my privacy; how many people will see my questions?

Any user will be able to see all other user’s questions on the different feeds as well as using the search feature. However, the account or identity of the person that asked a question will remain anonymous.

Even though your profile is anonymous and when you ask a question, people will have no way of tracing it to you, you should be careful with sensitive data or information you would not want other people to see.

Feel free to share personal feelings and situations as it may not be traced back to you but be wary of sharing your identity or any sensitive information like credit cards, addresses, phone numbers, etc.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, of course. You may close and delete your account at any time.
