# Operation Freedom

## When user is not logged into BEE

• “Login | Signup” moved to top right \
• “Home” button removed \
• Search button moved to top and enlarged \
• “New! Identify sightings for disaster recovery” removed \
• “Identify this sighting” button enlarged \
• “Find expert,” “Boost” and “Follow” buttons hidden \
• “Remove selected,” “Follow/Unfollow selected" buttons hidden \
• “Sightings for me to ID” changed to “Identify sightings”

This simplifies the design and makes the navigation bar on the left less cluttered. The verify sighting feature is easier to find. The mock-up below illustrates this.

## After user is logged in

• Logout icon top right (plus “Are you sure?” Y/N popup) \
• Edit profile icon next to user’s profile photo goes to <https://bee.questagame.com/#/expert/profile> • Settings icon added to top left \
• My data button added which goes to my profile page <https://bee.questagame.com/#/expert/advance-profile/> seemoreb52f685c3028d50c0f4d?\_k=5x68u4 \
• Past work becomes a tab in My Profile page, so it’s My Collection | Past Work | My Expertise | About me \
• Verify sightings (new!) menu item added

## Verify sightings page

It is here where people will be able to vote sightings' identifications as right or wrong.

Sightings that appear in this page will either be:&#x20;

1. sightings that have not gone through a voting round yet
2. sightings with identifications that the logged in user has voted as 'wrong' on previously (and correctly)

Sightings will only appear in my list if all of the following are true:&#x20;

1. They have been closed regarding the regular identification process&#x20;
2. Stephen's algorithm has given the sighting a taxon identification as a basis
3. The logged in BEE voter is not the same account that gave the sighting an identification

## BioToken

When a user selects right or wrong, they will be presented with a popup explaining that an amount of BioToken will be deducted from their account and added to the pool associated with that voting round. \
\
Correct voters get distributed BioToken from the pool evenly after a 2.5% deduction from the contribution to the pool of the losing voters as a platform fee.

## Tallying votes

Votes are counted by the system after 24 hours, however if less than 3 people have voted after 24 hours, sightings are left until 3 people have voted and then the votes are tallied immediately. \
\
Each vote is weighted based on the voter's expertise level (expertise level 10 counts as 10 votes).

If a sighting is voted wrong, the correct voters are given the opportunity to provide a correct identification for the sighting. The sighting is then given a new taxon identification from the algorithm and if it still doesn't have an ID from a level 10 user it appears again to be voted as right or wrong.p

## Moving forwards

Iteration 1:&#x20;

To start with, each voter will be able to vote on a sighting exactly once.

Iteration 2: \
If the ID changes after a first voting round (majority votes wrong), the voters who voted 'wrong' will be able to vote on the same sighting a second time as their correct vote is indicative of their knowledge in the area and the likelihood of voting correctly a second time. \
\
In addition, it is in discussion that voters who vote 'wrong' should be able to enter a correct identification straight away rather than having to wait til they win the vote. This would streamline the new identification and/or new voting round (idea from Priyank).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.guardiansofearth.io/bioexpertise-engine-bee/fundamentals/operation-freedom.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
