Help fund Fluxer with the Operator Pass

You can buy a pass for someone else and put their name on its certificate page at checkout. You can then send or print just that page from your settings. Each certificate page in one purchase can have a different name.

If you're friends on Fluxer when you offer the pass and when they accept it, you can also pass it on to their account, and they get the Operator badge and everything else that comes with the pass. Each pass can be passed on once, and its certificate page stays in your settings. Passing on the only pass left on your account removes your own Operator badge, your wall listing and everything else that comes with the pass, and we ask you to confirm first.

We never change a certificate file once we've made it, and we need a good reason to change how anything else that comes with the pass works, or to end it for all Operators. As the terms say, a good reason can for example be low use, cost, a legal or security problem, or a change in how Fluxer works. The rule about a good reason covers the Operator badge, the Operators' wall, #operators and everything else that comes with the pass.

We can change how the things that come with the pass look and where they show at any time. If a change makes something more than a little worse for you, or ends it, we email you a reasonable time ahead.

Yes. You can pass on each pass you buy to a friend's Fluxer account one time. It goes directly to their account. They accept or decline, and you can take the offer back until the pass moves to their account.

Once it has moved, it can't be passed on a second time. Your certificate doesn't change.

We ask you to confirm first. The move is final, and your badge, wall listing and #operators leave your account with the pass. Passes you passed on to others don't count toward keeping them, because they belong to someone else now. If you have Visionary, it keeps #operators for you even without a pass of your own.

No, help in Fluxer Developers is the same for everyone, and a pass doesn't put your questions ahead of anyone else's. Operators get the #operators channel to talk about self-hosting, bots and the API, and we may invite them to try new features before they're released, as the terms describe. The pass isn't a support contract, and buying more passes changes only the size and place of your spot on the wall and the number on your Operator badge.

It's for anyone who wants to help fund Fluxer, whether you self-host, build bots or just use the app. Community help in Fluxer Developers stays free and open to everyone, whether or not they have a pass.

Yes. Each purchase can include up to 25 passes, and you can make as many purchases as you like. If you buy more passes later, each one costs whatever the price of a pass is on the day you buy it.

Choose at checkout to buy as a business and add your company name, address and VAT ID. The invoice we send you then shows your VAT ID. Reverse charge applies wherever the law requires it.

Each purchase can include up to 25 passes, and you can make another purchase when you need more. You can put your company name on the certificate, and each pass can go once to a staff member on your friends list.

For legal reasons, a business purchase has no right of withdrawal, because the law gives that right only to consumers. The exception is a purchase with a billing address in Brazil or paid in Brazilian reais.

We treat that as a consumer purchase with 7 days to withdraw after delivery, as the terms say. These 7 days don't apply if you buy for a company and enter its Brazilian company number (CNPJ) at checkout.

Yes. If you bought passes for your business, email us from your account's email address with your company name and a square logo, and we'll show them instead of a name and avatar. Company listings have their own rules so that a listing can't make it look like we recommend the business or work with it. Companies have their own part of the wall after the people who bought passes. Every company listing is the same size, and logos never link anywhere. We set up each listing by hand. To change the logo or go back to a name and avatar, ask us the same way.

Each name can use its usual writing system, such as Latin, Arabic, Devanagari, Chinese characters, Japanese kana or Hangul. We print each name exactly as typed, with every accent and mark. Emoji can't go on the certificate.

It's our way of thanking the people who back the pass by 1 January 2027, while self-hosting is still new. After that date, new passes cost the standard price, and passes you already bought keep their price.

You pick any display name or nickname at checkout, and your spot goes live when you pay.

Your listing follows your profile unless you turn that off in your settings.

Your wall listing can show a short quote in your popup on the wall. The desktop and web apps also show it next to your Operator badge, and you can add, change or clear it in their settings. Read how wall quotes work.

Turn off "Show me on the Operators' wall" at checkout or in settings. You keep your pass and badge.

Showing the Operator badge on your profile is your choice. You can hide it, or just its date, in your settings. Your pass and your spot on the Operators' wall stay either way, and you can show the badge again later.

Every Operator gets the same access and treatment on purpose, because the pass isn't meant to be a members' club. More passes give you a larger spot on the Operators' wall and a higher number on your Operator badge. Everything else that comes with the pass is the same for everyone, however many passes they have, as the terms explain.

It's a channel in Fluxer Labs, our community for building and testing new features. Operators use it to talk about Fluxer in general, including self-hosted deployments, bots and the API. It isn't an off-topic channel. If a question needs a longer back-and-forth, start a thread, and if you want to share logs or setup details with only the people you choose and the community's moderators, start a private thread instead and add those people.

The Operator role also puts you in the Operators group in the member list, with its own role colour. It doesn't let you post anywhere else in the community where other members can't post. Hampus, who created Fluxer, joins in when he can, and beginners are welcome. The channel and the role come with every pass.

To share setup details like your domain, config or logs, you can start a private thread in #operators and add people you choose. Remove any passwords, tokens and keys first, and any personal data about your users, like IP addresses and emails. People in the thread and the Fluxer Labs moderators can see it, but others in #operators can't.

The only other people who can open it are authorised people on our team, and only when they need to investigate a report, enforce our rules, respond to a credible safety issue or respond to a valid legal request, as our privacy policy says. Every time someone on our team opens it, that access is recorded in an audit log.

You get the same say as everyone else in what we build. Anyone can post ideas on Fluxer Feedback, and a pass doesn't give your posts more weight than anyone else's. When we invite Operators to try a feature before it's released, they can discuss it with us in #operators, and what they tell us helps us improve it.

No. Operators are members just like everyone else. The role gives you no say over other members and no special treatment from moderators, and the same rules apply to everyone in Fluxer Labs. When an Operator asks for a feature or a change on Fluxer Feedback, we weigh it the same way as a request from anyone else.

Your badge is a thank-you for backing Fluxer, and that's all it means. If someone uses it to talk down to others or act above them, our moderators may step in, the same as they would with anyone else.

Not yet, because Fluxer isn't federated yet. You buy the pass with a fluxer.com account, and it stays on that account for now. Once federation is out, the plan is that you can move your account to another federated instance, including one you run yourself, and your pass and what comes with it move with your account.
