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 π," "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.
