The Ignyte community exists for one reason: to help founders ship faster. These rules keep it that way. By posting, commenting, or messaging in the community, you agree to follow them.
1. Be useful to other founders
- Ask real questions. Share real wins and real failures.
- Give specific, actionable answers โ not platitudes.
- Assume good intent. Disagree with ideas, not people.
2. No spam, no drive-by promotion
- Don't post your product link without context. Sharing what you built while asking for feedback is fine; cold pitches are not.
- No affiliate links, no growth-hack chains, no "DM me to learn more."
- One account per person. No sockpuppets to upvote your own posts.
3. Respect privacy and confidentiality
- Don't share other founders' pitch decks, metrics, or private messages without their explicit permission.
- Don't post screenshots of someone's account, email, or DM without redacting personal info.
- NDA-covered information stays out of the community.
4. AI answers are suggestions, not advice
The "AI Answer" button uses an LLM. Treat its output as a starting point โ not legal, financial, tax, medical, or investment advice. Verify before you act on anything that matters.
5. No harmful or illegal content
- No harassment, hate speech, threats, doxxing, or targeted attacks.
- No sexual content, gore, or content that exploits minors.
- No promotion of fraud, scams, pyramid schemes, or illegal activity.
- No IP infringement โ don't post code, designs, or copy that aren't yours to share.
6. Keep it on-topic
The community is for founders building startups. Use the tags (#fundraising, #growth, #product, #hiring, #general). Off-topic political, religious, or unrelated posts will be removed.
7. Moderation and enforcement
- You can delete your own posts and comments anytime.
- We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these guidelines, with or without warning.
- Repeated or severe violations result in a permanent ban โ paid subscriptions are not refunded for bans caused by guideline violations.
8. Reporting
