Be kind and respectful. - This will all be way more fun if everyone is nice to each other. You can disagree on something while not making it personal.
-
Stick to the topic in posts. - This is a community for Software Engineering. For anything else, please post in another appropriate community. Also don't use non-relevant hashtags in posts.
-
Promote meaningful content, not products. - No ads, self-promo, or other kinds of promotions. OSS/FOSS projects are excepted. No use of URL shorteners.
-
No qoute posting. - Copying a link to your post and publishing it here is not allowed. Make a post in the community, and click: "Also share with followers" it provides more reach.
-
No general career advice. - Any career advice post must contain questions and/or discussions that notably benefit from the participation of aspiring or professional software engineers.
-
No spamming. - Don't spam the same content repeatedly or respond to a post with a quote in a new post or use the hashtag #news. Spam will result in ban. Limit to 2 hashtags.
-
No memes. - Although we love memes, we want to have a community of serious discourse. Find another appropriate community for memes.
-
No posts in languages other than English. - The only language that should be used here is English. And that includes links to resources as well.
-
No low-effort posts. - For example, no posts with bare links/reposts without added insightful comment/description. Single-line posts not encouraging discussion are also low-effort.
