Houses

11

JNV Nagpur's three house systems.

House system

Which set of houses a batch belongs to. Pre-2002 batches use the old boys' houses (Jawahar, Tilak, Subhash, Rajiv) and girls' houses (Indira, Laxmi); 2002-onward batches use the ANSU houses (Aravali, Nilgiri, Shiwalik, Udaigiri) shared by everyone. Old and new houses are distinct identities even when they share a colour.

Aravali

ANSU (post-2002, everyone) house · blue.

Nilgiri

ANSU (post-2002, everyone) house · green.

Shiwalik

ANSU (post-2002, everyone) house · red.

Udaigiri

ANSU (post-2002, everyone) house · yellow.

Jawahar

Pre-2002 house · boys · blue.

Tilak

Pre-2002 house · boys · green.

Subhash

Pre-2002 house · boys · red.

Rajiv

Pre-2002 house · boys · yellow.

Indira

Pre-2002 house · girls · orange.

Laxmi

Pre-2002 house · girls · pink.

Karma

6

Reputation earned by participation.

Karma

Your reputation score, earned by genuine participation (posting, commenting, helpful reactions, attending/hosting events, completing your profile). It gates social unlocks and can be spent in the Karma Store. Money can never buy the social unlocks.

Karma levels

Named tiers you climb as karma grows — Reader (0), Commenter (25), Poster (50), Poller (100), Group Leader (250), Mentor (500).

Unlocks

Abilities karma opens up: create polls at 100, create groups at 250, the Mentor badge at 2000. Spending an unlock keeps 80% of the karma.

Daily caps

Anti-farming limits on how much karma-bearing activity counts per day: 30 likes, 20 comments, 10 shares, and at most 5 counted likes to the same person per 24h.

Giver trust weight

Karma you GIVE counts fully only if you're verified or your account is at least 7 days old; brand-new accounts count for 0.5× — so a throwaway can't farm someone to the top.

Karma Store

Where you redeem karma for reward items (badges, perks, codes).

Members & identity

6
Alumnus / Alumni

A verified past student of JNV Nagpur — the default member type.

Member type

What kind of account this is: alumni (default), or a system/bot account (the official NNAWCA account that posts announcements and welcomes new members).

Verification

Confirming you really are a JNV Nagpur alumnus. Status is Pending, Approved, or Rejected; approved members get the verified tick.

Legal name vs Display name

Real names are required (no pseudonyms). Your legal name is on record; your display name is what shows on your posts and profile.

Username

Your @handle and profile URL (/username), auto-generated from your name on signup.

Profile visibility

Who can see your full profile: Public, Alumni-only, Connections-only, or Private. Sensitive fields (DOB, blood group, address) are redacted server-side per your settings.

Batches, divisions & school

4
Batch

Your cohort by entry year, shown as an ordinal — JNV Nagpur's first batch entered 1986, so 1986 is the 1st batch, 2006 the 21st.

Pass-out year

The year you finished. Graduates within the last 5 years are treated as Students (free tier) automatically.

Division

Region tags on your profile; multi-valued, with an immutable "Nagpur" default.

School codes

NGP = JNV Nagpur (Navegaon Khairi); JND = Jindi. Foreign keys carry a school id everywhere for a multi-school future, though NGP is the only school today.

Posts & feed

12
Post formats

Text, Image/Video, Link (with preview), Quote, Question, and Poll.

Repost

Resharing a post — it appears in your feed as its own item embedding the original, optionally with your comment. Deleted/private originals show a tombstone.

Anonymous post

A post shown under a random codename + icon (e.g. Skull Uncle, Blind Hawkeye) instead of your name. The codename is per-post, so your anonymous posts can't be linked to each other or to you.

Visibility scope

Who a post reaches: Public (anyone), Network (all alumni), Followers (only your followers), or My Groups (group members).

Reactions

Upvote, Downvote, or Like on a post; up/down votes feed ranking and karma.

Award

Spend karma to give a post a special award badge.

Save

Bookmark a post to your Saved list.

Not interested

Hide a post from your feed so it won't resurface.

Pin

An admin/owner action that floats a post to the top of the feed.

Draft

A saved, unpublished post; drafts autosave as you write.

Hashtag & Mention

#tags group posts by topic; @mentions notify a person (or a whole @house / @batch).

Feed ranking

The "For You" order, a hot-score of engagement, freshness, author reputation, and report penalty. Also available: Following, Trending, and Chronological.

Connections

4
Follow / Following / Followers

One-way subscriptions. You follow people to see their posts; your followers see yours.

Connection

A mutual relationship (you follow each other), used for connections-only privacy and mutual-count suggestions.

Block

Cut someone off entirely — symmetric and total: neither of you sees the other on the feed, profile, search, comments, mentions, or DMs. Reversible from Settings → Blocked accounts.

People you may know

Suggested alumni to follow, ranked by mutual connections, batch, and house.

Groups & events

4
Group

A space around a batch, house, department, or interest. Visibility is Public, Private, or Secret; roles are Member, Moderator, Admin.

Event

A gathering (in-person or online) with RSVPs, check-in, and feedback. Paid events use a one-time order.

Invite waves

Staggered event invitations sent tier-by-tier (Life first, then Premium, Associate, Student) a few hours apart.

Spotlight

A curated feature of a member, post, or business for a set period.

Economy & games

5
Eggs

A playful hot-potato currency (you start with 20) — throw an egg at someone; monthly top-holders get flagged.

Shells

A commercial currency used across NNAWCA activities.

Vyapaar wallet

Play-money coins for Vyapaar, the multiplayer Monopoly-style game.

Badges

Earned or awarded marks of achievement shown on your profile.

Alfazy

The daily word puzzle; solving it earns karma and feeds leaderboards.

Moderation & safety

5
Report

Flag a post, comment, profile, business, or message for the moderation team.

Moderation actions

What moderators can do: hide, remove, warn, and restore content; and suspend or ban members.

Suspension vs Ban

Suspension is a temporary time-out (auto-lifts on expiry); a ban is permanent. Both block posting, commenting, DMing, and reacting.

Rate limits

Caps on how fast you can post, comment, react, follow, message, or report — to stop spam and abuse.

Guardian consent

Minors need a guardian's consent to participate.

Notifications & messaging

5
Notifications (the bell)

In-app alerts for follows, reactions, comments, mentions, and more. A burst from many people collapses into one "and N others" entry.

Web push

Optional browser/phone notifications that reach you even when the tab is closed.

Direct messages

Private 1:1 chats with real-time delivery, typing indicators, read receipts, reactions, and image attachments. You can message your connections.

Chat themes

Festive skins for the conversation view that activate around dates (Diwali, Holi, New Year, etc.).
