Community guidelines
This is a room of senior search people working out what AI search means for their work. It's only useful if people say what they're actually seeing. These few rules keep it that way.
What we ask
Share what's working, and what isn't. Real numbers, real tests, honest failures. A half-formed observation is welcome; label it as one.
Keep what's said here, here. Don't post screenshots of members' posts, comments or messages elsewhere, or quote someone by name, without asking them first.
Only share what you're allowed to. Leave out client data and anything under NDA, or anonymise it.
Disagree with ideas, not people. Be direct and be kind. No personal attacks, harassment or discrimination.
Don't sell. Sharing your own work is fine when it helps the conversation. Pitches, cold messages selling something, and link drops aren't. Roles go under the Jobs tag.
Write in your own words. Credit your sources, and say so when something is AI-generated.
If something's wrong
Every post, comment, member and direct message has a Report option. Choose a reason and add a note if it helps. The moderators get an email and see what was said at the moment you reported it. The person you reported isn't told who reported them.
You can also block a member. You stop seeing their posts and comments, they aren't able to message you, and you don't get notifications from them. You can unblock them from your profile settings.
How moderation works
Tom and Jeremy moderate the community. When something breaks these guidelines, they may:
- hide or delete a post or comment;
- suspend a member for a while, during which they can read but not post, comment, react or message;
- remove a member from the community.
Suspensions and removals are recorded, with who made them. If you think we got one wrong, email tom@searchleaders.ai.
