Any network that achieves massive cultural scale will inevitably attract bad actors. Scalpers, grifters, and fake promoters will attempt to infiltrate the ecosystem to siphon value from the community. They might create a fake event listing with a stolen flyer, promising an underground rave that doesn't exist, simply to trick users into spending their ZP on useless tickets. They might drop a fake retail Node on the map to farm affiliate links.
The legacy internet relies on slow, unresponsive corporate moderation to handle these threats. Zusei relies on you.
Our ecosystem is designed with a highly aggressive, decentralized-inspired immune system. The true culture knows the true culture. If you spot a fraudulent listing, a dangerous venue, or an organizer attempting to bypass the Proof of Presence mechanics, you have the tools to flag it for immediate destruction.
Here is how you wield the reporting terminal to protect the Zusei network.
Step 1: Identifying a Bad Actor
Before you strike, ensure the threat is real. Zusei takes reports incredibly seriously, and weaponizing the report function against a legitimate competitor will result in your own account being purged from the ecosystem.
Red Flags to look for:
The Ghost Event: An event listing with a massive ZP ticket price, but zero linked social media handles, an unverified host profile, and a vague "Private Location" toggle that feels unearned.
The Bait and Switch: A retail Node that promises a massive 1,000 ZP check-in bounty, but when you arrive at the coordinates, the physical store does not exist, or the owner has taped a QR code to a random telephone pole to farm digital engagement.
Review Manipulation: A venue that somehow possesses fifty 5-star reviews, despite the physical location being closed for renovations. (Note: Zusei's physical scan requirement makes this nearly impossible, but highly sophisticated bad actors occasionally attempt GPS-spoofing).
Step 2: Engaging the Report Terminal
When you identify a threat, move swiftly.
Navigate to the fraudulent node or event page.
Scroll past the ticketing and description modules to the bottom action bar.
Click the red "Report" button (accompanied by a warning flag icon).
The Secure Node Request Modal will rise, locked into the "Report" parameter. The header will flash red, signifying an urgent security dispatch.
Step 3: Filing the Intelligence Report
You are communicating directly with Zusei team. Vague complaints will be ignored. We require actionable intelligence.
In the text terminal, detail exactly why this listing is a threat to the ecosystem.
"I am standing at these coordinates. The building is abandoned. There is no pop-up shop here."
"This organizer is using stolen artwork from a London-based brand and selling fake tickets."
"The host is demanding fiat cash at the door after users already paid the required ZP on the platform."
Hit "Submit Request."
