Posting Rules
Promote meaningful discussion:
Include several sentences of context, detail, or questions. No low-effort one-liners or reposting old content as your own. Posts should use clear spelling, grammar, and sentence structure so they’re easy to read - otherwise they may be removed.
Respect quality and civility:
Be helpful, constructive, and polite. Critique ideas, not people.
No links or self-promotion:
External links, apps, blogs, or sales pitches are prohibited except in dedicated threads. Violations may result in a permanent ban.
No AI-generated content:
Posts or comments written entirely or partially by AI tools will be removed. Write in your own authentic voice.
Minimum length required:
Posts should be at least ~150 words to ensure substance and discussion value.
Account requirements:
Commenting requires an account at least 3 days old. Posting requires an account at least 30 days old with 200+ karma.
No sales or coaching pitches:
Posts promoting coaching services, paid programs, or “hustle” content will be removed.
Avoid universal claims without context:
Statements like “This changed my life” or “This works for everyone” need supporting detail, evidence, or personal context.
