Community Guidelines

Effective Date: September 4, 2026  |  Last Updated: September 4, 2026

Revquix is a place where people learn in public - articles, comments, profiles, projects, boards, reviews and conversations with mentors. These guidelines say what we expect from everyone who takes part.

They apply to every member. Mentors are additionally bound by the Mentor Code of Conduct, and the technical rules - running code, storage, automated access - are in our Acceptable Use Policy. All three form part of our Terms of Service.

1. The short version

Be accurate about yourself. Be decent to other people. Publish things you would be happy to have your name on. That covers almost everything below.

2. Things that are never acceptable

• Harassment - targeting, intimidating, stalking or repeatedly contacting someone who does not want to hear from you.
• Hate - attacking or demeaning people for their religion, caste, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age or any similar characteristic.
• Threats and violence, including encouraging self-harm.
• Sexual content, and absolutely anything sexualising a minor.
• Doxxing- publishing someone's private information, including a resume or contact details you were given for another purpose.
• Impersonation - claiming to be another person, a company, or Revquix staff.
• Illegal or infringing material, including content you do not have the rights to.
• Malware, phishing and scams, in any surface, including a link in a comment.

3. Your profile

• Use your real identity. Do not claim employers, degrees, certifications or seniority you do not have - a profile is what a mentor and a hiring client rely on.
• Your photo should be of you. Do not use someone else's picture or a company's logo as your face.
• A public profile is public: it can be found through people search and viewed by anyone. If you would rather it were not, make it private in your settings.

4. Writing and publishing

• Publish your own work.Quote and cite sources properly. Republishing someone else's article as your own is plagiarism and we will remove it.
• Write for a reader. There is a minimum length before an article can be published, and a higher one before it can earn credits, but neither is the real bar - the real bar is whether somebody would be glad they read it.
• Do not publish to farm rewards. Filler articles, near-duplicates, keyword padding and posts written to reach a word count are all outside these guidelines, and the credits for them can be reversed - see Credits & Referrals §5.
• Say when something is sponsored. If you were paid or given something to write about a product, say so in the piece.
• Comments are for the conversation.Disagree with the argument, not the person. No self-promotion in someone else's comments.

5. Messages with mentors

• Messaging opens once there is a booking or order between you. Use it for that work.
• Keep payment on Revquix. Do not ask a mentor to take payment off-platform, and decline if you are asked. Messages are automatically screened for payment handles and links, and the reason is not our fee - a payment made outside Revquix has no refund right and no dispute process, and the person who loses is the one who paid.
• Do not use contact details you obtained through a session for anything else, including recruiting or marketing.
• Do not record a session without the other person's consent.

6. Reviews and ratings

We give credits for reviewing a mentor you worked with. We should therefore be explicit about what that reward is and is not.

• The credits are for the time it takes to write a review, not for a good one. A one-star review earns exactly what a five-star review earns. Nothing in the reward depends on the rating, and nobody at Revquix sees your rating before it is granted.
• Review only what you experienced. First-hand, about a session or order that actually happened.
• Do not trade, buy or solicit reviews. If a mentor offers you anything for a favourable review, that is a breach of their Code of Conduct - tell us.
• A review that is dishonest, retaliatory, or written to farm the reward will be removed and the credits reversed.

7. Things you share publicly

Projects, canvases and snippets start private. If you choose to share one by link or publish it, other people can open it, and a public one can be copied, exported and indexed by search engines. Before you publish:

• Take out credentials, keys and connection strings.
• Take out anything belonging to an employer or a client that you were not given permission to share.
• Take out other people's personal data.

You can move something back to private at any time, which stops the old link working - but it cannot recall a copy someone already made.

8. Telling us about a problem

There is no report button in the product yet. Until there is, the route is:

• Email [email protected] with a link and a short description of the problem, or
• Open a support request from your dashboard, or from the contact page if you are not signed in.

Both reach a person. This is also the route for a formal grievance under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 - our Grievance Officer, and the times we commit to, are in Privacy Policy §10.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. We are not an emergency service.

9. What we do about breaches

We aim for the smallest response that fixes the problem, and we take into account whether it looks deliberate and whether it has happened before. We may:

• Ask you to change or take down the content.
• Remove or unpublish it ourselves.
• Reverse credits earned through it.
• Withdraw access to a feature - publishing, messaging, reviews - while leaving the rest of your account working.
• Suspend or close the account.

Serious harm - threats, sexual content involving a minor, a scam operating against our members - skips the ladder and goes straight to closure and, where the law requires it, to the authorities.

We will normally tell you what happened and why. If you think we got it wrong, write to [email protected] and a person will look at it again.

10. Changes

We may update these guidelines as the community grows. We will revise the “Last Updated” date, and material changes will be notified in-product or by email.
