About Jamss

1. What is Jamss?
Jamss is a technology news website that combines social bookmarking, RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control. With Jamss, users submit stories for review, but rather than allow an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.

2. How to promote stories to the homepage?
Once a story is submitted by a user it is instantly posted in the Jamss area queue. This is a temporary holding place where stories wait to be promoted to the homepage. To help promote stories to the homepage, simply visit the Jamss website and Jamss the stories you think are cool. Once a story has received enough Jamsss, it is instantly promoted. Should the story not receive enough Jamsss, or is reported, it eventually falls out of the Jamss area queue. Jamss works because a large group of people actively promote good stories to the homepage. Since this site's content is user-driven, it is up to YOU to contribute.

3. How to submit stories?
Submitting stories is easy. Simply click on "submit a story" and enter the URL of the story you would like to submit. Then fill out a title, description, and category for the story. Should you encounter a potential duplicate, please Jamss the original story and do not submit a duplicate entry.

4. How to recall your bookmarked stories?
Every time you Jamss, submit, or comment on a story it is bookmarked and stored within your user profile. To visit your user profile, click your username on the top navigation or enter any user's address manually: Jamss.com/users/username.

5. How to add/link friends?
Ever want to group multiple friend's RSS feeds together? With Jamss friends you can now track all your friend's Jamsss/stories/comments under one place. Visit the "friends" tab under your user profile to add and remove friends.

6. How to remove a bad story?
Jamss gives moderation control back to the community. Should you run across any stories with bad links, irrelevant content, or duplicate entries, please report them using the "problem" report feature.

7. How to block another user's comments?
Next to each comment is a [block/report] link which allows users to block other user's comments. If you've accidentally blocked someone and wish to unblock them, you can do so in your personal profile account settings.
