Community guidelines

The forum exists for operators who want to help and be helped. Give people specifics, not slogans. Critique work, not people. Disagree directly — say what you mean.

Don't promote products in unrelated threads. Don't crosspost. Don't run cold-outreach campaigns inside the forum. If you're promoting your own product, lead with the lesson; one promotional sentence after the value is fine.

If you say "we hit $50k MRR", we expect it to be true. If we discover otherwise, the account gets banned. Same for fake testimonials posted as if real.

Don't solicit investments, security purchases, or token sales in the forum. If you're fundraising from your network, disclose your role and your relationship.

Sharing your experience is fine. Posting as if you're a lawyer/accountant/doctor when you aren't will get the post removed. If you actually are one, mention your qualification.

Don't scrape the forum to build lead lists, training sets, or any other downstream use. The forum is for community members reading and writing; not for automated extraction.

Critique ideas; don't attack people. Hate speech, harassment, and targeted personal attacks get a permanent ban on first offence.

Don't share private DMs, screenshots from closed Slack/Discord groups, or anything else shared with you under confidentiality.

We reserve the right to remove posts, lock threads, or suspend accounts at our discretion. We aim to be transparent — if your post gets removed, you'll usually hear why.
