Affiliations

An affiliation is a group formed by a single user (the affiliation "head") on the platform. The head can manage the affiliation within the app by:

• Changing the affiliation logo
• Adding affiliated users
• Removing affiliated users
• Changing affiliation head
• Debanding the affiliation

The affiliation may consist of only the head but, if individual credit need be given to multiple people, the head may add affiliated users for an additional cost of regular membership per user. The effective price of the membership is then:

[$39.99] + (N × [$4.99])

for N number of additional affiliated users.

Why form an Affiliation?

An affiliation allows group entities, such as local news outlets, to post their articles with their community-recognized logo and colours. Having additional affiliate members allows the affiliation to individually credit writers. Affiliations are groups that Plat has recognized as helpful and positive members of the community.

Who can form an Affiliation?

Users that are able to provide significant evidence that they belong to their organization, platform, or other publicly recognized entity will be considered for the affiliation subscription. This means that Plat may take up to a week to process affiliation subscriptions, depending on but not limited to provided information, publicly accessible information, and community reception. Subcription payments will be held but only processed if application is successful. Additional affiliate can be bought with the affiliation subscription or after.
