Recommended Topics System on Elektroda Forum

In compliance with Article 27 of the Digital Services Act (DSA), we provide the following details on how our AI-powered recommendation system for interesting and recommended forum topics operates.

Main Parameters

The system utilizes an advanced GPT-5 artificial intelligence model to evaluate the technical quality and appeal of ongoing public forum discussions. The following key parameters are analyzed:

• Content quality (technical depth, solutions, and analyses)
• Topic attractiveness and relevance
• Discussion quality (constructiveness and diversity of responses)
• Engagement (activity level, replies-to-views ratio)
• Additional signals (attachments, images) alongside filtering for duplicates and spam

Why Are Certain Topics Suggested to You?

Topics are suggested to all forum users, regardless of their activity history, because:

• They achieved the highest scores - rated as most valuable by the AI model on a 0-10 scale
• They offer high content quality - featuring practical solutions, schematics, code, or detailed analyses
• They are current - originating from the last few days
• They demonstrate high discussion quality - facilitating constructive exchange between users
• They are dynamic - representing ongoing, active discussions
• They have educational value - offering practical knowledge to other users

Transparency and Control

This AI-based recommendation system operates automatically and independently of individual user activity. All users receive the same recommendations: the highest-rated topics based on objective technical criteria.

The system relies solely on public forum topic content and does not use personal user data to generate recommendations.

Users cannot currently modify the recommendation algorithm parameters directly. However, you can:

• Request a brief, understandable explanation of why a particular topic was recommended to you
• Report concerns, errors, or doubts regarding recommendations

Requests for explanations should be directed to our Contact form.

Privacy

The system analyzes only publicly available content and metadata, such as titles, post content, reply counts, view counts, and public attachments. It does not analyze personal user data or individual browsing history.

AI evaluations are processed via the OpenAI API in accordance with their privacy policy. Content is transmitted in an anonymous form that excludes personal user data.
