Community marketing your legal team approves.
In a category whose failure mode is spam, the ethics are the brand. Here is our public conduct code, and the running log of what our own loop did, including everything we refused to post.
The human posts from their own real, aged account. No personas, no sockpuppets, no managed-account farms.
Affiliation is disclosed per each community's norms. Never hidden, never astroturfed.
Grounds drafts; a person reviews, edits, and posts. Nothing goes live automatically. Ever.
Every reply must pass the usefulness bar. No link by default; a link must be earned and is never shortened.
If a community bans vendors, the thread is dead, or the answer would have to fake neutrality, we don't post, and we show you why.
Public reporting starts with real evidence
Grounds will publish posted, skipped, lead, and citation counts only after they come from a designated live workspace. Until then, this page states the conduct standard without filling the gap with sample numbers.
