The Extra Mile
Following the Community Standards is a no-brainer. But we dream of you as capable to offer more than that. Going the extra mile means that you express the best vesion of you and thus you become the reason other people or Certifunny become better.
Those that go the extra mile in Certifunny do some or all of the following:
They always pursue and express the finest version of themselves. Before inspiring others they inspire themselves, they tease themselves when they feel like it and they never give up!
When they find a certificate they wish they had, they do not hesitate to get it, even if they currently believe they don't deserve it. They print it, they put it on their wall and they stick to it. One day, they become what the certificate says. After all, we become what we think.
For example, let's say they are not athletic but they wish they had the "Certificate of an athlete". They get it and they try to become one!
People that go the extra mile don't take things too seriously. If there is a negative characteristic in their personality, they don't worry that much. They get the respective certificate for teasing themselves and decide to take action. Cause it is only when we recognize and admit what is wrong that we then can start correcting it.
For example, if they feel lonely, they get the "Certificate of feeling lonely like a camel in the desert"! They print it and put it on their wall. They look at it and laugh with themselves. They take action, they call their friends, they join a club and then one day comes that they no longer deserve it. And that's for good.
There are certificates in Certifunny that are assigned to you after a voting process. Those that go the extra mile don't worry if they don't get these certificates with their first attempt as they never give up. They try to evolve, improve themselves and give it a second shot. They don't stop until they get it!
For example, let's say they want to get the "Certificate of violin virtuoso" and upload a video playing the violin. And let's say they play so bad that all other users' votes are negative and as a result they don't get it. They don't worry! They study hard, they practise and they come back in the future uploading another video! One day they indeed become violin virtuosos and they get it!
Those that go the extra mile use Certifunny for spreading happiness, they try to motivate others, they vote truthfully and share content.
Certifunny offers a great amount of PEER certificates that someone can offer to someone else for making them happy. Those that go the extra mile know it and they don't miss the chance to do so. They use Certifunny as a tool for spreading happiness.
For example, they have a grandfather whom they love so much. They offer him the "Certificate of an awesome granpa", they print it and offer him as a gift. Can you imagine how happy this granpa is?
They know that motivation is the key to improve other people's lives. They love their friends and deeply care about them. So, they don't miss a chance to certify them in a way that this will make their friends take positive action.
For example, imagine they have a friend with low self-esteem. They assign them the "Certificate of enormous self-esteem" and give it to them in a lovely manner. Next time their friend expresses low self-esteem thoughts they remind them they are certified as "enourmous self-esteemed"! With such a certificate and such a friend, the low self-esteem person conquers the world!
Voting is in the core of Certifunny, especially for the Media certificates, as people get certificates based on other users' votes. Those that go the extra mile now how important such a certificate will be for the person trying to get it. They vote carefully and truthfully and they are always fair. If they don't know what to vote, they don't.
In Certifunny there are silly certificates only made for fun but there are also important certificates than can have a great impact. Those that go the extra mile know how to distinguish them so that they don't let people jeopardize the important ones (e.g. Certificate of protecting wild-life) and at the same time they offer others the pleasure to get the silly ones (e.g. Certificate of eating a banana).
They don't use Certifunny only for themselves and they don't become selfish while using it. Anytime they browse our certificates they think of others and inform them about a certificate that could possibly suit them. Apart from that, they don't become jealous when someone else gets the same certificate, even with a greater score.
Those that go the extra mile are aligned with Certifunny values and stand next to it. They try to spot its imperfections, they propose content, they actively participate in our Social Media and they report when needed.
They know that for getting a Media certificate with the higest score, they should upload something awesome! So, they produce high quality content that is interesting for others to watch, it is always aligned with the rules and of course it is as funny as possible! After all, they know that it is not only the certificate that counts but also the process of trying to get it!
They understand that they are the cornerstone of Certifunny so they frequently propose new ideas. They play a huge role in the evolution of the website by proposing new certificates that would be interesting, funny and beneficial for the Community.
Those that go the extra mile are fully aware of our Terms and Conditions and our Community Standards. They report inappropriate content that violates them or becomes frustrating for the Community.
As far as the Challenges (Media certificates), they are aware of the Rules of each Challenge and thus they vote fairly or report accordingly if they spot a violation of the Rules.
Thank you not only for reading and embracing our Community Standards but also trying to go the extra mile.
We do believe in you. We do believe that you are the reason our community shines and thrives and soon will become one of the most joyfull communities worldwide!
