Community Guidelines

The vibe we're going for, and the lines we hold.

Stackwise works because students show up for each other. These are the principles that keep that working — and the rules we enforce when it doesn't.

Three principles

What we ask of every member.

Be useful.

Upload notes you'd want to find. Annotate generously. Cite sources when they're not yours. The whole point is helping the next student.

Be honest.

No plagiarism. No selling solutions. No karma manipulation. Don't post anything you wouldn't want your professor to see your name attached to.

Be kind.

Disagree with the answer, not the person. We've got students from dozens of universities and dozens of backgrounds — keep it welcoming.

Specifics

Do this. Skip that.

When something falls into a grey zone, default to the version you'd be comfortable explaining to your course coordinator.

✓Share your own notes, summaries, and study guides.
✓Credit collaborators and original authors.
✓Flag content that looks plagiarized, leaked, or unsafe.
✓Use clear titles and tag the right course and year.
✓Help moderators by reporting in good faith.

Skip

×Upload paywalled textbooks, leaked exam keys, or restricted course material.
×Post answers to ungraded coursework someone is currently submitting.
×Harass, demean, or pile onto other users.
×Spam, advertise, or run referral schemes for paid services.
×Create alternate accounts to vote on your own posts.

When something goes wrong

How moderation works.

Reports first

Use the report button on any post or profile. Reports are reviewed by our team — not auto-actioned by AI.

Proportional response

First-time issues usually get a removed post and a note. Repeated or severe violations escalate to suspensions or bans.

Appeals welcome

If we got it wrong, email [email protected] within 30 days and we'll look again.

Reporting is anonymous to other users. We read every report.
