Useful discussion
Reviews, comments, and reports should explain what you tried, what worked, what failed, what is unclear, and who the product may or may not be for.
Community
Keep Crowdstax useful, honest, and low-noise.
Crowdstax is a launch, product discovery, media, and community platform for builders. These guidelines explain how to help people evaluate products, learn from launches, and discuss internet businesses without manipulation or spam.
Clear disclosure
If you are connected to a product as a maker, employee, investor, advisor, contractor, customer, sponsor, or affiliate, disclose it where it matters.
Trustworthy discovery
Crowdstax should prioritize real products, transparent ownership, disclosed incentives, and practical discussion over growth spam.
Participation standard
Make the ecosystem more useful, safer, and more specific.
Low-effort praise, vague criticism, repeated prompts, or generic AI-generated filler may be removed. Strong participation gives other builders enough information to make a decision.
Expected behavior
What good participation looks like
- Be specific, practical, and honest. Share details, examples, context, tradeoffs, and limitations.
- Assume readers are trying to make decisions, not consume hype.
- Critique products, claims, and ideas without attacking people.
- Disclose product ownership, employment, client relationships, sponsorships, affiliate incentives, or other conflicts of interest.
- Use clear titles, accurate categories, relevant launch tags, and truthful descriptions.
Product submissions
What listings need to get right
- Submitted products should be real, accessible, and described accurately.
- Claims about features, pricing, ownership, customers, traction, funding, security, privacy, or performance should be supportable.
- Logos, screenshots, images, copy, and product materials must be authorized for submission.
- Pricing, availability, product status, and ownership should not be misleading.
- Products should be placed in relevant categories and launch tags without keyword stuffing.
Prohibited conduct
Do not use Crowdstax for manipulation or abuse.
- Harassment, hate, threats, abuse, doxxing, intimidation, or targeted personal attacks.
- Spam, scams, phishing, malware, malicious links, illegal content, or sexual exploitation.
- Impersonation, fake accounts, fake makers, fake reviews, fake comments, or fake engagement.
- Vote manipulation, review manipulation, coordinated ranking manipulation, or undisclosed paid promotion.
- Scraping, automated abuse, rate-limit evasion, security probing, or attempts to disrupt the platform.
- Repeated low-quality AI-generated content, duplicate submissions, keyword stuffing, or irrelevant promotion.
- Content that infringes intellectual property, violates privacy, or misrepresents affiliation or authorization.
Moderation actions
Context matters
Crowdstax may edit labels or summaries, reject submissions, hide or remove content, archive content, lock threads, restrict features, suspend accounts, remove votes or comments, adjust rankings if manipulation is suspected, or add context to protect users and platform integrity.
Enforcement is contextual. Crowdstax may consider intent, severity, history, risk, public impact, and available evidence.
