Community Guidelines

This document outlines the social operating system of Stag.ai. We don't care about your credentials, your pedigree, or where you went to school. We care about what you build, how you collaborate, and how you help others grow.

1. Curiosity Over Ego The best systems are built by people who aren't afraid to admit what they don't know. We value questions, exploration, and experiments over intellectual performance and status.

2. Builders Helping Builders We don't gatekeep. If you solve a complex compiler bug, write a summary log so other learners can read it. Mentors are here to build ladders, not to guard doors.

3. Respectful Collaboration Be constructive. Code reviews should analyze the structural logic of the program, not the developer. We support honest critiques but reject toxic superiority and condescension.

4. No Toxic Superiority Culture We actively dismantle the elitist culture that often surrounds high-scale AI engineering. Seniority is measured by your patience and ability to explain complex paths to newcomers, not your jargon density.

5. Learning Through Building We believe the absolute best way to learn is by writing code that runs in production. We support sandboxes, messy prototypes, and failures. Every successful system was once a broken build.

6. AI Ethics Expectations AI is a powerful tool to amplify human creativity, not replace it. We expect contributors to build tools that expand access, respect user consent, and avoid generating malicious or deceptive models.

7. Community Moderation Our channels are peer-moderated. If you observe gatekeeping behavior or toxic language, report the event. We take structural inclusion seriously and will suspend nodes that persist in disruptive behavior.
