Unlike other widely known social networks d3.ru provides opportunities to vote against users, comments and content entries.
The original Dirty.ru was founded by Jovan Savovic in 2001 as a platform for users to share and generate content.
It was made for users to follow simple grammar rules while commenting and keep a general polite attitude towards others.
For those who broke the rules their profiles would be banned into a special section called "Leprosorium".
In 2007 it grew into a separate website that is frequented by Sergey Dorenko, Alexei Navalny and others.
Registration became open to the public but soon after became selective due to the high number of people who were willing to register.
Earlier the website had one single home page, after the remodel every community was given its own site.
Anonymous Ded Moroz Club (ADM) — was a popular campaign amongst users.
Because of the technical maintenance the website's home page featured a picture of a dead horse.
[7] Since 2006, each user has the opportunity to express their opinions on the site, by pressing the '+' or '–' button for comments and posts.
It also allows the user to put a title right next to the username — light form of donation as the website staff says.
Spamming, manipulation with votes, posting confidential information about other users is prohibited.
The content covers a wide range of topics: from scientific innovations to sports news from the literary contributions to the image galleries of contemporary art.
The administration added a section called "Pulse", which shows what is being discussed among D3 users, and fixed the search engine that has not worked for many years.
Next to the logo there is an image on each page which is called a D3 Geertruida[9] (in honor of Mata Hari.)
