How OGU works

The forum's structure, the upgrade ladder, ranks and warning flags, how rep and vouches work, paid visibility, and the official channels around the site.

Official domains & channels

Real

  • oguser.com, the primary domain
  • ogusers.gg, the official backup, used during the July 2026 suspension
  • flipd.gg and ogusers.org redirect to the primary domain

Known fakes

  • oguser.cc · oguser.app · oguser.to · oguser.id · oguser.us
  • FLIPD phishing copies (2024)
  • Clones copy real profiles and fake rep and vouches, and get spread through masked links.

Around the site

  • The official Telegram news channel and chat
  • The OGU Middleman Telegram hub, for confirming a middleman's identity
  • Avoid (scammer.gg), OGU's scam-report database
  • An official Telegram bot that sends rep, vouch and dispute alerts

Forum sections

There are more than 70 boards in two halves: the marketplace, where trading happens, and the General boards, where members talk and build a reputation.

Upgrades

Upgrades unlock in order, from Fortune to Solar to Void to Apollo, and each tier stays locked until you own the one before it. Without at least Fortune you can't post in the marketplace or have a signature.

Ranks & flags

Rank / flagMeaning
AdminOwners and operators of the site
StaffModerators who handle reports and decide deal disputes
MentorHelpers. Mentors are often promoted to Staff later.
TrustedOfficial middlemen and the only members allowed to advertise MM services. Chosen by staff, sometimes after community feedback.
VerifiedVetted sellers. Usually the step before Trusted, and it can be taken away.
Donator badgesShow money given to the site, for example "$2000 donator"
DWC"Deal with caution", a public warning placed on members who've shown risky or dishonest behavior
Banned / placeholderBanned and deleted members' names are sometimes locked to a placeholder so nobody can impersonate them

Reputation & vouches

Reputation

  • A +/− score that only upgraded members can give (anyone can receive it). Higher upgrades make each rep count for more, up to ±5.
  • It shows activity, not trustworthiness.
  • You can only ask for rep after you've completed a deal with someone.
  • Rep that accuses someone of scamming must link to a deal dispute.
  • Rep trading, rep-for-rep, gang repping and buying rep are all banned.

Vouches

  • A public record of a completed deal. Anyone with more than 15 posts can give one.
  • It must link the sales thread.
  • The deal must be worth at least $5, and free middleman deals can't be vouched.
  • Buying, selling or asking for vouches is banned.
  • The public Vouch Log shows every recent vouch on the site.

Reading a profile

  • Look at the deals behind the vouches (size, dates, who gave them), not just the count.
  • A long gap since the last activity on an upgraded account can mean it's been hacked or resold.
  • Check the join date and username history.

Paid visibility & credits

Bars are scaled to the one-year price. A sticky pins your thread to the top of its section and is applied automatically after payment.

Credits

The site's currency. You buy them from OGU or from other members in the Credits Market, and can spend them on:

  • Stickies, sales tags, styled thread titles and styled usernames
  • An autobumper
  • Awards and limited items

Some long-time members hold millions of credits.

Bumping

  • Bumping moves your thread back to the top. You can bump every 31 minutes, or right after someone else replies.
  • Don't bump more than 10 threads at once, or post repeated "bump" replies that flood the recent posts list.
  • Paid bump plans and the autobumper exist, but bump services sold by members are banned.

Inactivity & names on OGU

To keep an account active, log in and post at least once a month. Usernames on inactive accounts can be released, and a permanent ban counts as inactivity. Void members can claim released usernames, which is why OGU's own short usernames are valuable too.

Never sell or share your OGU account. Members have been banned, or placed in DWC, for trying to sell their forum accounts.
