Dear netivist user,
It’s been 2 months since netivist open beta was launched and many interesting things have already happened. We have more than 180 debates and people from 171 countries have already visited netivist. Registered users went up 116% in just one month!
 
If you are among the first few hundred members of the netivist community you have a head start over those who will join us later. Reputation is very important at netivist. Higher level users enjoy more visibility and several advantages that allow them to have a stronger influence on the outcome of deliberations. Make yourself heard: vote, comment and share our debates and campaigns to get netivist points (XP), trophies and level up fast.
