Contributor Code of Conduct

These guidelines exist to help you create genuine, high-quality contributions that build lasting credibility on the Auraboard. Read them carefully as they directly affect your Aura score, your rankings, and how the broader community perceives you as a creator. Failure to follow these guidelines, or deliberate attempts to game the system, will result in score penalties, disqualification from campaigns, or a permanent ban.

What You Should Do

Create high-quality contributions

  • Share thoughtful, well-explained ideas with clear context
  • Break down concepts in plain language that a new user can understand
  • Use clean formatting and maintain high readability throughout
  • Add your own opinions, real experiences, and original insights and not just surface-level takes

Stay original

  • Write in your own voice
  • Avoid posting near-identical content across multiple projects
  • Bring unique angles, personal examples and perspectives that only you can offer

Be a holistic creator - not a project billboard

  • Your profile should reflect a real person with genuine interests, not a promotional machine
  • Post a healthy variety of content: opinions, industry commentary, personal learnings, community discussions
  • Treat campaigns as one part of your content, not the entirety of it
  • Creators who show range and depth rank significantly higher than those who only post campaign-related content

Stay consistent

  • Contribute regularly across different days and not in concentrated bursts
  • Maintain steady streaks rather than sudden spikes of activity
  • Show up meaningfully, not just when a campaign is live

Stay relevant

  • Tag only the project you are genuinely contributing to
  • Keep your content directly connected to the product, feature, or topic at hand
  • Every post should deliver clear value. If you can't articulate what a reader gains from it, reconsider posting it

Engage like a real person

  • Reply to comments thoughtfully
  • Participate in ongoing discussions, not just broadcast your own content
  • Quote-tweet with genuine, considered thoughts and not empty reactions or one-liners

Use the product

  • Try the app, feature, or protocol you're posting about
  • Share real feedback, suggestions, or firsthand experiences
  • Help others understand how the platform works through your content

Leverage onchain activity where applicable

  • Interact with partner projects onchain
  • Explore features, swaps, or protocol actions and document the experience meaningfully

What You Should NOT Do

⚠️

Engaging in any of the following will result in score penalties, campaign disqualification, or a permanent ban.

Spamming

  • Do not mass-post or publish multiple tweets within minutes of each other
  • Do not copy-paste templates or reuse the same post structure repeatedly
  • Volume without quality actively harms your score

Low-effort and non-informative posts

  • Posts that contribute nothing to the brand or the reader such as "Bullish πŸš€," "Don't sleep on this," "GM," or single-sentence hype are flagged as low quality
  • Extremely short posts that lack any substantive information, explanation, or perspective do not count as contributions and reduce your credibility

Ask yourself: does this post tell someone something useful? If the answer is no, do not publish it

Turning your profile into a billboard

  • A profile that only promotes projects, campaigns, and chases rewards looks like a farming account
  • Diversify your content. If every post you make is a campaign post, it signals inauthenticity and will be scored accordingly

Multi-tagging and tag farming

  • Only tag the project you are actively contributing to
  • Tagging multiple unrelated projects in the same post to chase visibility looks like farming and is treated as such

Copying others

  • Do not rephrase someone else's thread, lift their points, or replicate their structure
  • Do not reuse visuals or arguments without clear attribution
  • Originality is weighted heavily in scoring

Artificial or suspicious engagement

  • Engagement pumps, coordinated retweet groups, fake accounts, and sudden unnatural spikes in activity trigger the Engagement Integrity Multiplier (EIM) and lower your score significantly
  • These patterns are detectable and treated as a violation of contribution integrity

Acting like a bot

  • Repetitive sentence structures, identical post formats, posting at machine-like intervals, and zero variation in tone are all bot-pattern signals
  • Vary your content type, posting time, tone, and format regularly

Poor-quality AI-generated visuals

  • AI-generated images that look scattered, or clearly low-effort reduce the perceived quality of your content
  • Reposting the same image or graphic repeatedly signals laziness and lowers your uniqueness score
  • Visuals should support and enhance your written content. They should never replace it or be used as filler

Posting in irrelevant or adult communities

  • Sharing your posts in adult X communities or entirely unrelated spaces purely for engagement is flagged
  • Only distribute your content in communities where it is genuinely relevant
⚠️

The Auraboard is built on genuine contribution. We enforce these standards actively and creators who don't meet them are removed.
