Content Standards
Quality Questions
Ask specific, well-researched questions. Provide context and share what you've already tried. Check if your question has already been answered before posting.
Helpful Answers
Provide accurate, detailed answers. Explain concepts clearly and share credible sources when applicable. If you're not sure, acknowledge the limitations of your knowledge.
Constructive Discussions
Disagree respectfully. Focus on ideas, not individuals. Add value to conversations rather than repeating what others have said.
Moderation System
We use a transparent 3-strike system to handle violations:
First Strike
Warning for minor violations. No immediate restrictions, but the violation is recorded. An explanation is provided with reference to the specific guideline violated.
Second Strike
Moderate violations result in temporary restrictions (24-48 hours) from posting new content. The user receives detailed feedback about their violation and how to avoid future strikes.
Third Strike
Serious violations lead to a 7-day account suspension. During this time, the user cannot access most platform features. This serves as a final warning before permanent removal.
Note: Strikes reset after 30 days of good behavior. The strike system ensures fair treatment while maintaining community standards. For immediate and serious violations (e.g., illegal content, credible threats), we reserve the right to skip the strike system and ban accounts immediately.
Reporting Violations
Help us maintain a healthy community by reporting violations:
- Use the "Report" button on any content (questions, answers, comments)
- For users, visit their profile and use the "Report User" option
- Provide specific details about the violation
- For urgent issues (harassment, threats), use our Contact Us page immediately
Important: We do not reveal the identity of reporters. All reports are confidential. False reporting or abusing the report system may result in strikes against your account.
