Community Guidelines

• Aleph is a global community of curious learners.

  We believe that everyone should have access to the highest quality knowledge and education, for free. Our guidelines are meant to build a mutual understanding of what being a part of this community is all about. We will take action if any of these guidelines are not upheld, so please read carefully.

• Always be Respectful

  We come together from across the world at varying levels of knowledge and experience with the same goal in mind - to learn. Curiosity, questioning, and cultural understanding are something we celebrate. Be respectful of others and where they’re coming from.

• Help and support across all skill levels

  We are all in this together. Learning is hard. Like anything worthwhile, it takes a lot of courage, dedication, and most importantly, failure. If someone has a question you think has an obvious answer, kindly and calmly help them out. Those who are true pursuiants of knowledge and greater intellectual ability are not above compassion and kindness. Heckling and being straight up mean doesn’t help anyone learn. Can’t say it nicely? Don’t weigh in.

• Embrace and share your insights

  There is no one way to learn. Everyone has a unique lens through which they see the world. Share that perspective and embrace the perspectives of others. It is through this exchange that we reach greater levels of insight and understanding. Approach your interactions with a spirit of curiosity and open-mindedness.

• Think before you share

  We care about your safety. Please beware of swapping or posting any private information that could be misused. That includes your phone number, age, address, what time you’ll be at home, school name, email, or other personal information that could put your privacy at risk. Simply put: don’t over-share. Sharing and encouraging others to share personal data might get your post, and possibly your account, removed.

Please don't use Aleph to...

• Attach a person or group of people with words and actions

  Aleph is a safe place for learners of all backgrounds. Harassment and hurtful content will not be tolerated. Using symbols, names and text that promote hate—as well as harassing, stalking, impersonating, and making sexual remarks towards someone—are considered abuse. The same goes for nudity and disturbing profile pictures and usernames. As stated in the terms, Aleph reserves the right to replace images or remove these accounts at its sole discretion. Rule of thumb: if you are making someone feel attacked or hurt, then you shouldn’t be doing it. We take these reports seriously and may delete your account without previous notice if such activity is verified by our team.

• Script or cheat maliciously

  Aleph believes in honest learning. If you are scripting for the purposes of cheating or sharing information and instructions about using Aleph in a way that may impact the system, community, learning, data or experience in a negative or significant manner, your account and posts may be removed.

• Write inflammatory comments

  Hateful, obscene, and off-topic comments don't contribute to learning. Cursing doesn't either. Leave them out of the conversation.

• To Summarize

  We do not tolerate content that is:

  • Illegal
  • Pornographic
  • Excessively profane or violent
  • Spam
  • Threatening, harassing, or bullying
  • Associated with racism or intolerance
  • Impersonating someone in a misleading or deceptive manner
  • Personal confidential information

  Please don't waste your time looking for loopholes; we will remove any content that violates the spirit of these guidelines and you will risk losing partial or full access to Aleph without warning. By following these guidelines, we will all contribute to forming a new era of education.
