Spaces: the rooms of the community

Community is organised into spaces. Your cohort gets its own set — Help & Q&A (ask, answer, accept the solution), Show Your Work (ship things for peer review), War-Room Debriefs (post-incident retros), Job Board and the Lounge — plus global spaces everyone shares. Applicants see the community after admission; pass the entrance exam to join your cohort's spaces.

Threads, votes and accepted answers

Open a space to browse threads or start your own; replies support Markdown. Every reply has a vote rail — upvote what helped, downvote what misleads. On a question you asked, tap Accept answer on the reply that solved it: it turns green, and its author earns XP.

Contribution pays: an accepted answer is 20 XP, an upvoted answer 10, a war-room debrief 5, a helpful reply 2 — all fed into your XP total. The Top contributors board ranks members by reputation: upvotes on your answers plus 15 for every accepted solution.

Some spaces have an AI helper whose replies are always labelled with an AI badge. Locked threads show a notice and take no new replies.

Flagging content

See something that breaks the rules — spam, abuse, off-topic noise? Tap Flag under the post (threads can be flagged too). The report goes straight to the moderation queue, where moderators review it and can hide the content. Flagging is anonymous to other members.

Blocking a member

If you never want to see someone's posts again, tap Block (or Block member) on any of their content. After a quick confirmation, everything they write is hidden from your view across the forum — server-side, not just visually. Blocking is yours to control: manage and undo your blocks any time in Account → Settings. Moderators can additionally hide posts for everyone.

Being a good citizen

Ask with context (what you tried, what you expected, what happened), answer generously, and accept answers on your own questions — it's how the next person with your bug finds the fix.

Frequently asked

How do I earn XP in the forum?

An accepted answer earns 20 XP, an upvoted answer 10 XP, a war-room debrief 5 XP and a helpful reply 2 XP. Reputation (shown in Top contributors) is your answer upvotes plus 15 for every answer marked as the solution.

How do I report a post that breaks the rules?

Tap Flag under the post (or on the thread). It's sent straight to the moderation review queue — moderators can hide it. You'll see 'Flagged for review' confirm it went through.

Can I stop seeing posts from a specific person?

Yes. Tap Block under any of their posts (or Block member on their content). After you confirm, everything they post is hidden from your view. You can unblock them any time in Account → Settings.

Why do some replies show an AI badge?

Some spaces have an AI helper that can reply. Its posts are always labelled with an AI badge so you know exactly who — or what — you're reading.
