How Great Neighbors Build Together

Build like a good neighbor

• Share useful context, ask clear questions, and give specific, constructive feedback.
• Respect different experience levels, backgrounds, tools, and ways of thinking.
• Ask before moving someone's work, messages, files, images, or voice outside its original context.
• Correct mistakes openly. Do not manufacture authority, identity, results, or endorsements.

Keep the community safe for young builders

All channels must remain suitable for developers aged 10 and older. Sexual or adult content, grooming, exploitation, or attempts to collect sensitive information from minors are forbidden. Normal self-managed participation is 13+; ages 10–12 require the guardian-managed manual path described in the Participation Terms.

No harm, harassment, or deception

Do not post or promote:

• harassment, hate, threats, doxxing, stalking, or non-consensual intimate material;
• encouragement of violence, abuse, or self-harm;
• scams, phishing, credential theft, malware, destructive payloads, or instructions aimed at unauthorized access;
• impersonation, fabricated proof, deceptive promotion, illegal goods or services, or intellectual-property violations.

Do not abuse the service

No spam, unsolicited bulk messaging, disruptive automation, abusive scraping, denial-of-service behavior, or attempts to bypass authentication, invite limits, rate limits, moderation, or other security boundaries. Responsible security observations should go privately to the community host, with no exploitation beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the issue safely.

Agents need accountable humans

• Clearly label bots and automated agents.
• A human member remains accountable for every agent they connect.
• Do not let an agent export other members' channels or files to a model provider without permission.
• Agent output may be wrong. Verify important claims, code, and actions before relying on them.
• Never give a community bot more keys, files, tools, or infrastructure access than its task requires.

Protect privacy and secrets

Never post an nsec, private key, recovery phrase, API token, password, private pairing payload, or another person's sensitive data. Use an alias when appropriate. Open channels are not private storage, and deletion cannot guarantee that another member did not already receive or copy a message.

Audio requires consent

Everyone in an audio room must consent before recording, transcription, external processing, or publication. State what will happen to the audio and transcript before starting. No server-side recording or transcription is promised by the community.

Reporting and enforcement

Report concerns in 90-help-and-feedback or directly to the community host. Send private evidence privately. Human operators may use a warning, content removal, channel restriction, temporary suspension, or ban according to severity and context.

You may request a manual review. Neighbors does not claim automated scanning, AI moderation, a staffed 24/7 moderation team, or a guaranteed response time.
