Hey Makers

Welcome to our community!

We have established a few house rules to ensure safe and comfortable space where everyone feels welcome.

Keep in mind:

• This is a user forum, all the participants are volunteering Make enthusiasts.
• This is a moderated space with consequences for rule violations.
• Community Managers Michaela and Vendy are community facilitators, not disciplinarians.
• Make Community users don’t have access to your Make account, for account-specific questions open a support ticket.

To keep things nice and easy, please remember the following.

Respect and constructive conversations are above all

• Treat everyone with respect, criticize ideas not people, and avoid personal attacks or hateful comments.
• Respect everyone’s privacy and be mindful of the information you share as this is a public forum.
• Avoid personal attacks, NSFW content, profanity, and hateful comments. Such posts will not be tolerated and will be deleted immediately.
  
  

Share what you know, not what you sell

• Share knowledge, not sales pitches. Promotional content is distracting and diverts attention away from important discussions. Posts with any intent to sell will be removed.
• Avoid using promotional links in public community interactions. This involves signatures mentioning:
  • Calendly or other scheduling tools
  • Company and product websites
  • Company YouTube channels
  • Other resources that you benefit from in any way
• If you want to promote your business and services use the designated category
• Do not discuss other products unless specifically talking about integrations with Make.
• Do not promote services of Make’s competitors.

Keep your contributions focused and original

• Stay focused on the original topic and pay attention to the entire conversation to avoid repeating advice that has already been given.
• Do not cross-post or duplicate content. Any duplicates will be promptly removed.
• Do not use content of other community users without their permission. This includes responses to frequently asked questions, screenshots, tips, etc.
• Refrain from using AI tools to generate your responses. AI generated posts are easily recognizable and will be removed.
• Automated content of any kind is not permitted and will be removed.
• When sharing video content, include a written summary for easier accessibility for users who may not have the time or ability to watch the video.
  
  

Help us keep the community neat and tidy

• Use one account per Maker to avoid confusion and ensure clarity about who is contributing. Sharing a profile among multiple users can lead to misunderstandings, and miscommunication and create an unfair advantage.
• If you notice inappropriate or suspicious behavior, flag it instead of responding to it directly.
• If you have concerns about the quality of a user’s contributions, flag one of their posts and provide a clear, descriptive comment for the moderators. We will handle it from there.

What happens when you break the rules

We reserve the right to remove content that doesn’t comply with these guidelines and to issue official warnings for rule violations. Repeated violations may lead to a temporary suspension, with the possibility of permanent removal. If you receive a suspension and create a new profile, it will promptly be deleted.

To keep our community clean, we also reserve the right to remove any content and any user account for any reason at any time.

All violations of these guidelines are reviewed case-by-case, and moderation details are confidential and won’t be discussed with other community members.

In the future, we may update our policies as needed.
