Community Guidelines

The Inference Hub exists so people who build AI systems can trade real production lessons. These guidelines keep the chats, the events, and everything around them worth your time. They apply everywhere the community lives: WhatsApp, Slack, in-person events, and this site.

1. The Short Version

Show up as a practitioner. Share what you know, ask about what you don't, and treat everyone here like a colleague you'll see again. No pitching, no spam, no harassment. That covers most of it; the rest is detail.

2. Share Real Lessons

The community runs on what actually happened in production: what broke, what scaled, what it cost. Specific beats general, and war stories beat hot takes. If someone asks a question you have already solved, answer it. Reading along without posting is fine too; nobody owes anyone content.

3. Don't Pitch

"Shipped, not pitched" is the whole brand, so this one is not negotiable. The chats are not a sales channel for your product, your agency, or your paid course.

What's welcome: sharing something you built when the post teaches something, honest answers that happen to mention your product because it genuinely fits the question, and open-source projects you want feedback on.

What's not: cold pitches, drive-by demo links, engagement-bait polls, and "just leaving this here" drops with no context. A simple test: if you would be annoyed to receive it, don't post it.

4. Recruiting and DMs

Hiring happens in every healthy community, and that's fine, in its place. Post roles only where the moderators say it's okay, and never mass-DM members about jobs, products, or anything else. If you want to reach someone directly, say who you are and why in the first message. Unsolicited pitch DMs get people removed faster than anything else.

5. Respect the Room

Debate ideas as hard as you like; keep it off people. No harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks, in the chats or at events, ever.

What members share in the chats stays in the chats. Don't screenshot someone's message into your marketing, don't scrape the member list, and don't add members to mailing lists they didn't join.

6. Events

Our events run on the same rules with one addition: we usually take photos and sometimes record talks, and both may end up on this site or our social channels. If you'd rather stay out of a shot, tell the organizers at the event and we'll take care of it.

7. Enforcement and Contact

Moderators may remove content or members that break these guidelines. The usual path is one warning, then removal; spam, scams, and harassment skip the warning. If something in the community made you uncomfortable, or you think we got a call wrong, email community@tensorops.ai and a human will read it.
