Community rules

Draft - not legal advice - have a lawyer review before relying on it.

Ai Me Bro discussion board Last updated: October 25, 2026

The board is a shared space for people learning and using AI tools. These rules keep it useful and safe. They are part of our Terms of Use. Breaking them can lead to removal of posts and loss of your account.

The rules

1. Be kind and curious. Every level is welcome. Be patient with beginners. Argue with ideas, not people. No harassment, bullying, hate, threats, or targeted abuse. No attacks on someone for who they are (for example race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, age, or nationality).
2. Nothing illegal. No selling or asking for illegal goods or services, stolen accounts or data, malware, or help committing crimes. Never post anything sexual involving minors, or anything that sexualises or endangers a child. That means an immediate permanent ban and a report to the authorities.
3. Keep it appropriate. No pornography or sexually explicit material, graphic violence, or content meant to shock. Keep it work-safe.
4. Protect secrets and privacy. Never post API keys, passwords, tokens, or other people's private details (home addresses, phone numbers, ID numbers, private messages, or personal photos' details). Do not "dox" or try to identify anonymous people. Our filters block posts that look like secrets. If you leaked a real key, revoke it with the provider right away.
5. No scams or spam. No ads, referral or affiliate farming, giveaways, get-rich schemes, reselling of accounts or API keys, chain posts, or repeated posts. Disclose any connection when you mention a product you made or are paid to promote. Links from new members wait for a quick review.
6. No harmful instructions. Talking about AI safety, limits and how models fail is welcome. Sharing prompts or methods meant to get instructions for weapons, malware, or other serious harm is not.
7. Be honest about AI output. Say when text, code or advice came from an AI, and check it before you present it as fact. Do not paste long AI answers as if you wrote them. Do not post AI output that you know is wrong or made up.
8. No impersonation. Do not pretend to be staff, moderators, an AI company, or another person. Handles that imitate them are removed. We are independent and are not run by any AI vendor.
9. Respect copyright and licences. Post your own words, or short quotes with a source. Do not post pirated software, leaked documents, or other people's content in bulk. See the copyright notice process in the Terms.
10. Stay on topic and use the right board. Search before you ask. Do not cross-post the same question. Do not hijack other people's threads.
11. No evading the rules. Do not use extra accounts to get around a strike, suspension or ban, to boost your own posts, or to mislead others. Do not misuse the Report button.
12. Plain text only. Posts are text. There are no uploads and links in posts are not clickable.

How moderation works

• Automatic checks look at every post. Clear violations (such as illegal offers, secrets, card numbers, or anything sexual involving minors) are blocked. Borderline posts are held for a moderator. These filters are not perfect, so a good post can be caught by mistake, and a bad post can slip through. Tell us if you see either.
• New members post at a slower pace, and posts with links wait for review until they have contributed a few times.
• You can report any post with the Report button. Reports of illegal content hide the post right away until a moderator has looked. Other posts are hidden after several independent reports. Please do not reply to rule-breaking posts; report them.
• Moderators are members of our team or trusted volunteers. They apply these rules, but they do not speak for any AI company and they cannot waive the Terms. Moderator actions are logged.
• We do not read every post in advance and are not responsible for what members say, but we act on what we find or are told.

What happens if you break a rule

We look at context and try to respond in proportion. Usual steps are:

1. The post is held, hidden or removed, and you are told why where we can.
2. A strike is added to your account.
3. Three strikes lead to suspension. Strikes do not expire. A suspended account is closed to new posts and sign-in until a moderator reviews it, and permanent bans are possible.
4. Severe violations (for example sexual content involving minors, credible threats, serious illegal activity, or evading a ban) lead to immediate suspension or a permanent ban, with no earlier strikes needed.

We may also report illegal activity to the authorities. Content that appears to involve child sexual abuse is preserved as the law requires and reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement.

If you disagree with a decision

You can ask for a second look. Reply to the notice you received, post in Site Feedback, or email [email protected] with the link or description of the post and why you think the decision was wrong. A different moderator, where possible, will review it, and we will answer within about 14 days. Decisions to remove illegal content or to ban for severe violations may not be reversed.

Reporting a problem outside the board

• Copyright concerns: see the notice process in the Terms of Use.
• Privacy requests: [email protected]; see the Privacy Policy.
• Safety concerns or urgent illegal content: use the Report button or email [email protected]. If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number first.

We may update these rules as the community grows. Material changes will be announced on the Site.
