Community Guidelines
Last updated: 2026-07-23
Quillboard boards are for telling someone their product needs work. That means the bar for what counts as “too harsh” is deliberately high — and the line is drawn between criticising a product and attacking a person.
Always fine
- Blunt, negative, or repeated criticism of a product or a decision.
- Saying a feature is broken, badly designed, or a waste of time.
- Disagreeing with an admin, publicly, on their own board.
A feedback tool that filters out unhappy feedback is broken. We do not remove things for being rude about software.
Never allowed
- Threats of violence, and telling anyone to kill or harm themselves.
- Slurs and hate speech aimed at people for who they are.
- Sexual harassment, and sexual content involving minors.
- Targeted harassment of a person, including posting their private information (address, phone number, workplace).
- Spam, scams, phishing, and malware.
- Anything illegal where you or the community are located.
How this is enforced
Every community starts with a baseline filter covering the list above. Content matching it is refused when you submit it — it is never published, and you are told why. Community admins can add their own blocked terms, or remove one of ours if it misfires for their audience.
Beyond the filter, an admin can remove a post, warn you, mute you, or ban you. Warnings escalate: enough of them and a ban is applied automatically. Being banned also removes your existing posts in that community from public view.
A ban applies to you, not to one app. If you have linked your Telegram and Discord accounts, a ban on one applies to both, and it survives deleting your account.
Removed content is kept
When something is removed for breaking these rules, we keep a copy of it and a record of the decision rather than deleting it outright. That cuts both ways deliberately: it is what lets a wrong decision be reviewed and reversed, and it is what lets a correct one be defended. The Privacy Policy covers how long we keep it and on what legal basis.
If you think we got it wrong
Automatic filters make mistakes, and so do admins. Email [email protected] with the community name and roughly when it happened, and ask for a review. If a blocked word is a false positive for your community — a normal term in your field that our default list catches — an admin can remove it for that community without waiting for us.
These guidelines sit under the Terms of Service. Where the two differ, the Terms govern.
