Community Guidelines

Ustaad is for hard questions and straight answers. It is not a place to hurt people and hide behind a blank name. These rules are the short version of the Terms.

Ask honestly

Anonymous does not mean cruel. Do not harass, threaten, bully, or dogpile. Do not post hate. Do not publish someone’s private address, phone, school, or workplace. Do not pretend to be them.

No sexual content with minors

Anything sexual involving a person under 18 is forbidden. Do not ask for it, describe it, or send it. We remove it and we report it where the law says we must.

Do not push someone toward harm

Do not tell someone to hurt themselves. If a message looks like a crisis, we do not deliver it. We show helplines instead. See Safety.

No scams, spam, or illegal material

No phishing, no “send your code” tricks, no spam, no malware, no instructions for a crime. Copyright still applies. If it is illegal where you are, or illegal under Pakistan’s PECA 2016, it does not belong here.

Answers and names

The person who receives a question decides what is public. They can post an answer, keep it private, or archive it. You can ask with your name or without it. You cannot force someone else to reveal theirs. In chat, each person reveals only their own profile.

What we do

We screen content before it is delivered. We remove what breaks these rules. We can suspend or ban. We keep a timestamped audit log of removals. Repeat violators are removed from the service.

To report something, use Report illegal content or email abuse@ustaad.io. We aim to answer a complete report within 24 hours.
