Register With The Freedly Freedom Forum
The registration process is very simple, but you should know that you are registering for a forum that is specifically designed for expertise building. I’ll describe the key differences below, but first let me describe the registration process.
Freedom Forum Registration Process
- Fill in the registration form with your username and email. Your username is best as a single word, such as a nickname or brand that you own. Do not use domain names or email addresses.
- Check your email inbox for a password. If it doesn’t turn up, check your spam folder. Please note that the computer-generated password is deliberately complicated. You can change it to something more memorable, but do not use the same password that you use on other websites. I recommend LastPass for your best, and safest, password management.
- Login and change your Profile settings to whatever suits you.
- Start getting to know Freedly, and record your interests, by voting for questions and answers that interest you.
Freedom Forum The Freedly Difference
Please read point 4 above again.
Yes, Freedly Forums are different. Expertise is your key to finding freedom, and this even applies to using the forums. Your posting capabilities must be earned. As you contribute more to the forums, you gain more privileges, until you can contribute to the knowledge-base. Contributions to the knowledge-base will earn rewards for you, but you must start with the forums.
The first stage is voting and commenting. This should not take long, but it ensures that you have had a good look around the forum before you start asking questions. Voting helps you by recording your interests. Recommended pages are based on your interests, which helps you focus on the topics that are most relevant to you.
I occasionally change the points requirements, but you can always see the current scoring system, and the points you need to the next level, in your profile.
Points are precious, and can be lost for bad behavior. Do not be rude to other contributors, and try to stay on-topic. Freedly exists for your self promotion, but you have to earn your links. When you register, you can add your website address to your profile, where it will be seen by everyone. Do not put links anywhere else until you have gained expert status.
When you have enough points, you will automatically be upgraded to Helper, when you can start answering questions.
Please register now. If you have any questions about registering for Freedly, or suggestions for improving the registration process, please use the Using Freedly forum.
