# Community Guidelines

We are Aced, formerly Exponent. We provide a community centered on real-life interview preparation and professional standards. These guidelines apply to user submissions, content, and interactions across our platform.

## Harassment and Respect

We expect everyone to engage respectfully and to treat others’ beliefs, interests, and communication styles with professionalism and consideration. Candid feedback is welcome, but we do not tolerate harassment, including:

- Bullying, personal attacks, or derogatory remarks
- Objectifying or sexualizing individuals
- Discriminatory language or hate speech

Hate speech includes comments or content that express prejudice or incite hatred against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity.

## Privacy and Confidentiality

Protecting privacy is paramount. Do not share another person’s personally identifiable information (PII) without consent, including members’ personal details or information shared confidentially during interactions.

- Publicly available information, such as news about public figures, may be discussed.
- If you encounter a privacy violation or sensitive information being shared, report it immediately.

## Relevance and Integrity

Interactions and submissions should contribute meaningfully to our community. When sharing experiences, providing feedback, or asking questions, keep contributions aligned with real-life interview preparation and professional standards.

## Inappropriate Content

We prohibit offensive or inappropriate content, including explicit, unlawful, or excessively graphic material. Keep discussions professional and avoid profanity where possible.

## Spam and Solicitation

We value authentic contributions. Do not submit repetitive, irrelevant, or promotional content. Unsolicited promotions, phishing attempts, and advertising products or services are strictly prohibited.

## Impersonation

Do not misrepresent yourself or impersonate another person or organization through usernames or interactions. Be honest about your identity.

## Reporting Violations

If you see content or interactions that violate these guidelines, flag them for review. Violations may result in suspension or removal from our platform to help protect members’ safety and comfort.
