Currently, there is no requirement for current users as well as future sign ups to submit a Social Security Number as part of the Pickets.net security process. There has been a market trend with some companies who are willing to take this next step to enhance user security to preserve authenticity but also which can better understand the user base and should any user commit to any malicious activity, such as bullying which leads to a suicide, such an action can be properly recorder and submitted. Utilizing SSN as part of the sign up process would allow Pickets.net to preserve authenticity within the community since that is one of the purposes behind the organized groups since there has been an uptrend in bots and suspicious activity accounts. Pickets.net cannot have bots since it is a pay to use platform and already eliminates that issue to begin with while keeping social media affordable since other competitors are focused on high subscription prices but do not get rid of bots, such as when marketing on the platform and accounts that follow or like are still uncertain. Pickets.net has future plans to try out other ideas that will require the user base to submit a SSN to protect the user, prevent adult and child interaction, and to keep the user base safe from over a certain age users or under a certain age from interacting within the boundaries. As far as when SSN implementation will occur, it is planned when the user base likely when other larger companies begin their implementations. The anticipated time for Pickets is sometime in 2026.

Turn off your notification settings if you desire and then the notifications for each group you join.

Posts Any pornography, sharing links for modeling purposes, or posting images of illegal substances as it result will in automatic termination.

Pickets does not desire to have you as a user to begin with if breaking rules are your intentions or break a rule in desire of feeling justified. Pickets desires users to have great character.

Social media is a popular choice of entertainment and connection. Forum Industries, LLC (the owner company of PICKETS app), the PICKETS app idea is to serve users (customers) to provide a unique live feed forum in order to capture the high speed society we all live in as well as for users to engage with strangers to feel like a community of neighbors. Users can join groups where they wish to engage with others, post, and interact. Within the groups are topics that allows user to filter down the feed to a specific highlight in the feed to view that topic and personalize their search in the group lobby. This is more than a social media, it is a vision to do more.

1: Access to the PICKETS platform as a member who can joins groups to connect, share, and engage. 2: Keep bots and unwanted spam off the platform, however this does not mean users may take advantage for a mere moment. 3: To have an undisturbed experience from ads and keep limited users. This is more than a social media application. It is a new kind of social.

Spaces by Wix app gives users the best experience as of current. Users can also tap on chat on mobile or the message icon on desktop to chat with users.

Please read the rules and terms of the platform before subscribing. Currently, there are 12 groups. The people make the group. The platform is limited in its capability to moderate but there are measures in place. Please continue reading more the important information in regards to these groups. Refer to the rules of the platform for more understanding before using the platform. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVERYONE - This group was created with a viewpoint that anyone and everyone can post to the extent of the moderations in place. This lobby is the example of "WHERE STRANGERS ARE NEIGHBORS" and "YOU are all the focus". EVERYONE (less sensitive individuals) - Some desire dark, sarcastic, and adult humor. Dank memes fall under this category. Here users can say or posts that may not be very welcoming to the other lobbies. Profanity is allowed to the degree that the user is speaking in the context of the post and not being aggressive towards another member. * Any pornography, sharing links for modeling purposes, or posting images of illegal substances as it result will in automatic termination. Users who violate this rule will be kept on file for safety purposes. (Given the federal and state appeal towards marijuana, members may post regarding marijuana.) CODING AND A.I. - Members may feel strong desire with other users that have a similar skillset and interest. Members here can share ideas, share solutions, and learn. SPORTS - Many enjoy sports and topics allow members to filter their feed and their post specifically towards their choice sport. In fact, members can create polls for moments such as, "who will win" and cheering their teams. Members will be able to enjoy discussions and joys that this internet forum can bring. FINANCIAL MARKETS - First and foremost, any financial advice will be considered as a violation of the platform. This forum allows users to speak about stock performances, the tools they use, post research, and build a stronger investor community. Repetitive cheering of a security or investment will likely be deemed as spam with consequences to follow for the member. VIDEO GAMES - A forum where members can relate with one another via their passion about video games. MENTAL HEALTH - This group has a few ideas when it was created. First, for members who battle mental health and need to share their struggle. Second, to encourage one another. Lastly, for members to share remedies for their trials in life. Everyone deserves to be heard, cared for, and given a well thought out answer. POLITICS - The politics group is where people can express their views and/or debate them. The members in this group can learn from other viewpoints as well as support their own and others who share the same ideas. ONLY CHEFS - Only Chefs is where foodies, cooks, chefs, and anyone who likes food in general can enjoy the world of food. ISLAM - One of the two religious groups on this platform which has a specific subscription for Pickets usage. Members here can come together and feel like they have an online internet home in order to participate in worship activity and supporting one another. CHRISTIAN - The other one of two religious group forums where members can have a place of worhip activity and social media connection. ESPANOL - For those who speak Spanish.
