Community Guidelines

WorkTogether is a place for honest collaboration. These rules apply to profiles, projects, applications, messages, and attachments.

Respect and safety

  • No harassment, threats, hate, stalking, or sexual pressure.
  • Do not impersonate people, plagiarize work, run scams, or send spam.
  • Report concerning users, projects, messages, or files. Blocking prevents direct contact and hides profiles in both directions.

Honest project roles

  • Every role must be labelled unpaid, portfolio, stipend, salary, or equity.
  • Do not disguise employment or ongoing production work as a learning opportunity.
  • For equity, state that equity is not guaranteed compensation and document vesting, ownership, and legal terms outside WorkTogether.
  • For unpaid and portfolio roles, define the learning value, scope, expected hours, duration, and right to leave.

Age policy

  • The minimum age is 18.
  • Do not create an account for a child or invite a child to collaborate through WorkTogether.
  • Report any suspected child-safety risk immediately through the illegal-content notice form.

Enforcement and appeals

  • Moderators may warn, restrict, suspend, ban, or remove content based on severity and history.
  • Every sanction records a reason and, where applicable, an end date in the audit trail.
  • A sanctioned user can submit one appeal. A different moderator should review it when possible.
