Community Guidelines

Community should help people learn. Publish accurate, useful material and treat other students’ work responsibly.

Effective October 24, 2026

Share material you may legally publish

Publish original material, content you have permission to share, or content with a license that permits redistribution. Give required attribution and preserve applicable license notices. Do not upload copied textbooks, paid question banks, answer keys, private class materials, or other protected works without authorization.

Protect privacy

Do not publish private or identifying information about another person, including addresses, contact details, school records, credentials, financial information, or intimate images. Do not impersonate people or organizations. Remove unnecessary personal information and image metadata before publishing.

Keep it safe and appropriate

Do not publish sexual exploitation, graphic sexual material, targeted harassment, credible threats, instructions facilitating serious wrongdoing, illegal marketplaces, malicious software, or content promoting self-harm. Educational discussion of sensitive subjects must be clearly contextualized and must not facilitate harm.

Be honest and useful

Do not intentionally publish dangerous misinformation, fabricated citations, deceptive answer keys, spam, or unrelated promotional content. Do not manipulate saves or ratings, coordinate false reports, or repeatedly republish removed material.

Academic integrity

Study tools should support learning rather than impersonation or cheating. Do not use Community to distribute answers to an active examination, obtain unauthorized access to assessments, or submit another person’s work as your own.

Reports and enforcement

Use reporting only for genuine safety, copyright, privacy, spam, or accuracy concerns. Content may be hidden or removed after reports or automated review. Accounts may be limited for serious or repeated violations. Context, severity, history, and the risk of harm may affect enforcement.

Appeals

If your publication was removed and you believe the decision was mistaken, email support@yourstudybuddy.net with your username, the item title, and a short explanation. Do not include sensitive personal documents unless requested through a secure process.
