Community Guidelines

Last updated: November 22, 2025

Expectations for how builders, developers, contractors, and supporters interact across feeds, messages, events, and the marketplace.

Be Constructive and Inclusive

Akangbou is a professional space. Treat every conversation, review, and collaboration with the same respect you would bring to a job site walk‑through or investor meeting.

  • Use clear, direct language. Avoid sarcasm, insults, or inflammatory remarks.
  • Celebrate diverse builders, developers, and trades. No harassment, hate speech, or stereotyping.
  • Disclose conflicts of interest when recommending partners or reviewing projects.

Quality Profiles & Portfolios

  • Upload only project photos, testimonials, or case studies you have permission to share.
  • Keep business information current—especially licensing, insurance, and service areas.
  • Use your real name, company, and role. Sockpuppet or burner accounts are removed without notice.

Marketplace & Waitlist Conduct

Campaign pages and supporter updates must accurately describe pricing, shipping timelines, and fulfillment milestones.

  • Do not inflate waitlist numbers or fabricate “confirmed” reservations.
  • Communicate schedule slips or manufacturing blockers to supporters as soon as they surface.
  • Honor refunds automatically when a campaign expires or an event goal is not met.

Events & Community Programming

  • Publish precise venue details, access instructions, and safety expectations.
  • Keep attendee communications on-platform whenever possible so the full team can support you.
  • Respect attendee privacy—never share registration lists externally without explicit permission.

Reporting & Escalations

Flag anything that violates these guidelines using the in-product reporting tools or by emailing community@akangbou.com. We review most reports within two business days and will follow up with status whenever we take action.
