Community guidelines

Last updated: 12 November 2026

TrutiAI welcomes articles and comments from anyone who builds software. These guidelines keep the site useful and safe. Submissions that break them are declined, and repeat offenders lose access.

What we publish

  • Original articles about software, hardware, developer tools, data, security, cloud, AI for developers, and careers in tech.
  • Tutorials, comparisons, explainers, post-mortems, opinion grounded in experience.
  • At least 300 words; most good articles are 800 or more. Up to five outside links.

What we decline

  • Spam and advertising: articles that exist to promote a product, service or link; affiliate link dumps; keyword stuffing.
  • Copied content: text taken from documentation, other blogs or books, including lightly rewritten or machine-spun versions. AI-generated text that the author has not substantially rewritten and verified.
  • Off-topic: anything that is not about technology or building things.
  • Harmful content: hate, harassment, threats, sexual content, graphic violence, self-harm, illegal activity, malware or instructions that enable harm.
  • Misleading content: fabricated results, undisclosed sponsorship, impersonation.

How submissions are checked

  1. Automatic checks for length, links and posting limits.
  2. An automated screen for harmful content.
  3. An automated quality and topic review. Clear articles publish within minutes; borderline ones go to a human editor, usually within two days.
  4. After publishing, readers can report an article; three reports hide it until an editor reviews it.

Links in community articles carry rel="ugc nofollow". New accounts can publish one article a day; established writers more.

Comments

Be specific, be kind, stay on topic. Disagree with ideas, not people. No self-promotion beyond a relevant link. The same harmful-content rules apply.

Appeals

If your submission was declined and you believe the decision was wrong, reply to the notification email or use thecontact form with the article title. A person will look at it within a few days.

Your rights and responsibilities

You keep the rights to what you write (see the terms of use). You are responsible for its accuracy and originality. You can unpublish your articles at any time.
