Community Guidelines & Moderation
The Uneed Community is a space for builders to connect, share progress, learn from each other, and give feedback. To keep the feed interesting and valuable for everyone, we have a few rules in place — and we moderate actively.
You can find the full rules on the Community Rules page.
Our goal
We want Uneed Community to be a place where you can discover interesting stories, learn something, and connect with other makers. We don't want it to become a wall of self-promotion posts — like some subreddits, for example.
That's why we encourage posts that are thoughtful, helpful, or interesting to read — and discourage low-effort promotional content.
The rules at a glance
- Be respectful. No insults, harassment, or personal attacks. Treat everyone the way you'd want to be treated.
- Self-promotion is OK, spam is not. Share your work and projects, but don't flood the feed with repetitive posts or low-effort content. Tip: avoid promoting your project as your very first post — introduce yourself, leave comments, ask questions, and share first.
- No NSFW content. Keep all posts and comments suitable for a general audience.
- Be honest. Don't mislead about your products or services. Transparency builds trust.
- Have fun & help others. We're all builders here. Support each other and enjoy the journey.
- No AI-generated content. Don't post low-effort AI-generated content (slop). If you use AI, make sure the result is polished, thoughtful, and genuinely useful.
- English only. English is the official language of the community. Please write all posts and comments in English so everyone can participate.
- No DM spam. Don't send unsolicited direct messages to promote your product or service. Use the community feed instead.
What can get you banned?
The most common reason for a temporary ban is low-effort self-promotion. Here are some examples of what we consider problematic:
- A short post with just a link to your product and nothing else
- Posting only promotional content without ever engaging with others
- Repetitive posts about the same product
- Using the Community solely as a marketing channel
- Low-effort AI-generated posts and comments
- Cold DMs pitching your product to people who didn't ask
A good rule of thumb: if your first-ever post is a promotion, it will likely be flagged. Instead, consider introducing yourself, asking a question, commenting on other posts, or sharing something you've learned — before promoting your product.
What happens when you get banned?
Bans are temporary (usually 24 hours). During that time, you won't be able to create posts, comments, or like content. You'll receive an email with the details and the expiration time.
We always try to explain the reason so you can adjust your approach going forward.
How to get unbanned
If you think the ban was a mistake, simply reply to the ban email and we'll review it. If you understand the reason and agree to follow the guidelines, we can lift the ban early — just let us know.
Tips for great community posts
- Introduce yourself — tell people what you're building and why
- Share your journey — progress updates, lessons learned, challenges you're facing
- Ask for feedback — on your landing page, pricing, positioning, etc.
- Help others — answer questions, give constructive feedback
- Be genuine — the community responds best to authentic, thoughtful posts
The Community works best when everyone contributes value. Self-promotion is welcome, but it should be part of a broader engagement with the community — not the only thing you do.
