Community

launch Why External Communities?

• A small team cannot provide 24/7 moderation.

• Existing platforms (Discord, etc.) offer built-in reporting, banning, and role systems.

• We can always build our own later — rules and culture come first.

rule Community Rules

block ⛔ Prohibited (instant removal)

• Diagnosis requests ("Does my child have ADHD?")
• Drug dosage, prescription, or medication advice
• Personal attacks, hate speech, or commercial promotion
• Sharing personal information (real names, contacts, school names)
• Acting as a medical substitute ("Take X instead of Y")

check_circle ✅ Welcome

• Experience sharing: "This routine helped our family" (no medical direction)
• School/work conversation tips (no medical direction)
• Template feedback: "I revised Letter A and the teacher responded well"
• Resource sharing with sources
• PRO update suggestions
