Help Center — OdinBox News

🌍 Overview

OdinBox News pulls headlines from major publishers' RSS feeds hourly and uses AI to generate bilingual (Korean/English) summaries. We never store article bodies — we're just a signpost pointing you to the original.

Our vibe: Serious news. Dry as facts, sharp as wit. No distortion, no bland reading either.

⚖️ Community trial

When content gets reported enough, the community (not a single admin) decides whether to keep or remove it. Collective judgment, not one person's opinion.

How does a trial open?▼

When 3+ reports within 48 hours hit a single piece of content, a trial opens automatically. The content is hidden behind a banner for 24 hours while people vote.

Who can vote?▼

Anyone. No login. One vote per IP (your last vote counts if you change your mind).

How's the verdict decided?▼

Guilty requires guilty > innocent AND total votes ≥ 5. Otherwise, innocent (benefit of the doubt).

Can I appeal a guilty verdict?▼

Yes. Within 7 days, file one appeal (20-600 char reason). A 48-hour revote opens. If innocent wins (quorum 7), content is restored. One appeal per case.

What about bogus reports?▼

Innocent verdicts leave content untouched. Repeated bogus reporters get rate-limited automatically and leave a public trail.

Is everything public?▼

Yes. Visit /trial. All open, closed, and appealed cases — plus vote records — are permanent.

☕ Newsletter

When does it arrive?▼

Every morning at 7am KST. Top 5 stories + 10 honorable mentions, in a 3-minute read.

How do I subscribe?▼

Email field on the home, footer, or /newsletter. Click the confirmation email (double opt-in). Nothing sends until you confirm.

How do I unsubscribe?▼

One-click link at the bottom of every email. Gmail/Apple Mail also show a native “Unsubscribe” button (RFC 8058).

Going to spam?▼

Add support@odinbox.co.kr to your contacts and future emails will hit the inbox.

🔐 Privacy

No login system. We use browser storage only for:

Cookie consent preference
Saved articles (ID list)
Keyword follow list
Streak counter
Random client ID (for like / reaction dedup)
Theme & language

Comments store a hashed IP (never raw) and a masked public IP (“123.45.*.*”). See privacy policy for details.

❓ FAQ

Why don't you show the full article?▼

Legal. Article bodies belong to the publisher. We link you back so the original site keeps the traffic — that's core to our design.

The AI summary sometimes feels off▼

It's written from the headline alone. For anything that matters, please click through. Seriously wrong? 🚩 report it.

My comment says 'under review'▼

AI moderation flagged it as borderline. Usually auto-clears in minutes. If it persists, try rewriting.

I get too many ads▼

Ads only load if you accept cookies. To reset, clear “odinbox:consent” from browser storage.
