Our community rules (and why we are serious about them)
We treat people with dignity. No insults, bullying, harassment, or intimidation.
Why: Brilliant minds shut down in hostile rooms. We do not build trust with ego.
We do not tolerate racism, sexism, xenophobia, religious hate, homophobia, or any demeaning stereotypes.
Why: If someone has to “laugh along” to stay welcome, the community is already broken.
We back claims with sources, numbers, or real experience. If we are unsure, we say so.
Why: Confidence is cheap. Evidence is a moat.
We do not allow “easy returns”, “can’t miss”, or urgency tactics.
Why: Pressure is not education. It is sales theatre. We are allergic to it.
We keep discussions educational. Behind a secure environment, whenever we offer our opinion on offers, pls consult your expert as we take no responsibility.
Why: It protects members, protects the community, and keeps us on the right side of common sense.
No screenshots, forwarding, recording, or copying member-only materials outside the portal.
Why: Privacy creates honest conversations. Leaks create silence.
If we have a financial interest, affiliation, or commercial angle, we disclose it.
Why: Hidden incentives poison trust. Simple disclosure keeps things clean.
We do not spam the feed or members. We ask permission before pitching services in DMs.
Why: We are building a community, not a lead list.
We contribute with questions, answers, resources, and real insight. We avoid performative posting.
Why: Noise is easy. Value is rare. We choose rare.
We can disagree strongly, but we do it respectfully and directly.
Why: The goal is better decisions, not winning arguments.
No doxxing, no sharing private details, no posting confidential documents you do not own.
Why: Trust dies when people feel exposed.
We respect the people building and running systems. We do not dismiss field reality with spreadsheet bravado.
Why: Uptime does not care about our opinions.
We moderate. We remove content that breaks these rules.
We warn once when it is fixable. Then we restrict access.
We ban when needed. Not because we are dramatic, but because we are serious.
We invite reports. If something feels off, we tell us. Quiet problems grow teeth.
Ubuntu is not “be nice”. Ubuntu is “be responsible to the room”.
