Our guidelines ensure Upvote.link remains a valuable, respectful, and spam-free platform for creators and content enthusiasts.
Share content that provides genuine value. We prioritize meaningful contributions over volume.
Engage thoughtfully. Disagree without being disagreeable. No personal attacks or harassment.
No spam, manipulation, or abuse. We protect our community's trust and platform value.
All perspectives welcome. Discrimination, hate speech, and exclusion have no place here.
Blog posts, articles, tutorials, research papers, case studies, and in-depth guides you've created.
How-to guides, documentation, courses, tools, and resources that help others learn or solve problems.
Recent news, trend analysis, market insights, and timely commentary from credible sources.
Open source projects, product launches, design portfolios, creative work, and maker projects.
Thought-provoking articles, debates, ask-me-anything posts, and content that sparks meaningful conversations.
Well-researched compilations, tool comparisons, reading lists, and resource directories.
Clickbait, thin content, affiliate spam, mass-generated pages, link farms, or content with no value.

Sharing personal information without consent, revenge content, or privacy-invasive material.
Repeatedly sharing only your own content without engaging with the community or providing value to others.
Add value, ask questions, share insights, and engage meaningfully. Avoid one-word replies, spam, or generic comments.
Thoughtful critique that helps creators improve. Be specific and actionable.
Ask clarifying questions, share alternative viewpoints, and contribute to meaningful debates.
Relate your own experiences, add context, or provide examples that enrich the conversation.
Share related articles, tools, or resources that complement the discussion.
Targeting individuals with insults, threats, or coordinated harassment campaigns.
Generic replies, repetitive comments, self-promotional spam, or bot-like behavior.
Deliberately provocative or inflammatory comments designed to upset others.
Hijacking discussions to push unrelated agendas or flooding threads with irrelevant content.
To prevent spam and maintain quality, we enforce several automated limits:
5 free shares/day for all users. Additional shares cost 15 credits each. This prevents spam while rewarding engagement.
3 comments/minute to prevent spam flooding. Take time to write thoughtful responses.
All shared URLs are checked against multiple blacklists (phishing, malware, spam) to protect the community.
New user comments may require approval. Active, trusted members have automatic approval.
We take guideline violations seriously. Consequences are proportional to severity and frequency:
Warning message explaining the violation. Content may be removed if it violates guidelines.
Temporary restrictions on sharing, commenting, or upvoting (1-7 days depending on severity).
Immediate account suspension for illegal content, hate speech, harassment, or spam campaigns.
Reserved for severe or repeated violations: spam networks, coordinated manipulation, or illegal activity.

Comment on others' content, upvote quality posts, and participate in discussions before sharing your own work.
Help others understand what they'll find. Avoid clickbait or misleading headlines.
Use appropriate topics so content reaches the right audience. Miscategorization hurts discoverability.
Engage with people who comment on your content. Build relationships and discussions.
Daily engagement earns points and bonuses. Consistency beats sporadic activity.
Take time to share truly valuable content. Your reputation matters more than volume.
We may update these guidelines as our community grows. Major changes will be announced platform-wide. Continued use of Upvote.link constitutes acceptance of current guidelines.
