Terms of Use

The Fine Print for Our Global Moral Choice Experiment

1. What Is This Thing?

Moral Collective is a real-time, global social experiment where humans collectively decide the moral fate of the universe through the sophisticated act of clicking buttons during scheduled participation windows. Think of it as democracy, but with more clicking and fewer politicians.

2. Session System & Fair Play

We operate on a sophisticated session-based system designed to give everyone a fair chance to influence the universe's moral compass while maintaining authentic participation:

Session Schedule

• 72 sessions daily - Every 20 minutes, because moral decisions can't wait
• 90 seconds active time - Perfect for intense moral decision-making
• 18.5 minutes quiet time - For reflection, sharing, and building anticipation for the next moral choice window
• Global participation - Sessions run on UTC time, allowing worldwide participation

Connection Management & User Roles

3. The Rules of Engagement

Acceptable Behavior

• Click thoughtfully during your assigned session windows (or chaotically, we don't judge)
• Respect the session timers and capacity limits
• Accept your role as either an active clicker or passive observer gracefully
• Share the experience with friends who might appreciate the absurdity of global moral button-clicking
• Use keyboard shortcuts (G for Good, E for Evil) responsibly if you're an active clicker

Prohibited Activities

• Automated clicking: Bots, scripts, auto-clickers, or any non-human clicking devices
• Spam clicking: Our sophisticated penalty system will catch you (see below for the gory details)
• Connection manipulation: Attempting to bypass the active clicker limit or role assignment
• Server attacks: Don't try to break our infrastructure, please
• Content scraping: Automated data extraction or content theft
• Being a digital nuisance: General internet etiquette applies

4. The Penalty System (A Masterclass in Behavioral Psychology)

Our penalty system is designed to encourage thoughtful clicking while discouraging mindless button mashing. It's like a digital timeout, but with more sophistication and philosophical undertones:
