Flatboard Community Guidelines & Rules

Welcome to the Flatboard community! We’re thrilled to have you here. To ensure a positive and productive experience for everyone, please read and follow these guidelines.

1. Getting Support

  • Support is available for users who help test Flatboard and report issues responsibly.
  • Extension development support is focused on troubleshooting Flatboard’s extensibility.
  • Response times vary—please be patient. It may take hours or days for someone to reply.
  • Post in the General Questions section to get started, and always provide the requested information.

2. Starting a Discussion

  • Check before Post and search the forum first to avoid duplicate topics.
  • Use clear, descriptive titles and the right tags to help others find and respond to your post.
  • Post in English unless using a multilingual tag.
  • Do not sign your posts—your profile identifies you.

Help us stay organized so we can focus on discussion, not cleanup!

3. Participating in Discussions

  • Read the original post and existing replies before responding.
  • Add value—ask yourself if your reply contributes meaningfully.
  • Avoid one-word posts (use the “Reaction” button instead).
  • Do not post multiple times in a row—edit your previous message if needed.
  • Stay on topic—start a new discussion if you want to change the subject.
  • Be constructive and inclusive—help build a welcoming community.

Light humor is fine, but avoid derailing discussions.

4. Community Conduct

  • Be respectful: No offensive language, hate speech, or personal attacks.
  • Do not harass, impersonate, or defame others.
  • Do not share private information or post obscene/explicit content.
  • No spam, phishing, or site defacement.
  • Do not hide link destinations (avoid URL shorteners).
  • No discussion of piracy or illegal activities.

Moderators may edit or remove disruptive content. Serious or repeated violations may result in account suspension.

If you have an issue with a member, use the Report feature—do not confront them directly.

Above all, be cool! 😎Let’s work together to make Flatboard the best it can be.
