Forums
Questions about interviewing, resumes, offers and verification — answered by people who have been through them. A person reads every report; nothing here is removed by a machine.
Where to ask
Six sections, chosen so a question lands where the people who can answer it are already reading. Post counts are the whole section, not this week.

Before you post
Four rules, and what each one is for
- Say what happened, not who to avoid.
- Nobody here can check a claim about a named individual, so a post that makes one is removed. A post about a company's process is fine.
- No job adverts.
- Recruiters and vendors are welcome to answer questions. Posting a vacancy here is removed and repeats cost posting access.
- Keep other people's details out.
- No screenshots with names, email addresses or phone numbers still legible in them. Crop them or describe what they said.
- Argue with the argument.
- A reply that only goes after the person is removed whether or not the point underneath it was right.
What happens after you report something
Written out because a report you cannot track feels like a report nobody read.
The whole process, in seven lines
- A person reads it. Nothing on this forum is hidden or removed by an automatic classifier. A moderator decides, every time.
- First look within one working day. A report that needs the other person's side takes longer, and you are told when that happens rather than left with silence.
- The person you report is never told who reported them. They are told which rule the report was about.
- Reports are not readable. You cannot see anyone else's, they cannot see yours, and there is no screen anywhere in the product that lists them back.
- The post usually stays up while it is read. It comes down first only when leaving it up could put someone at risk.
- A removed post says so. It leaves a marker naming the rule and the date. Silently deleting a reply makes the thread read as if it never existed, which is its own kind of lie.
- If your own post is removed you get the reason and one appeal. A different moderator answers the appeal.
Blocking is separate and immediate: it needs no review, and the person you block is not told.
