Community Guidelines

Bower is a community for founders, mentors, and students. These guidelines keep it safe, useful, and respectful.

Respect all members

Treat every founder, mentor, and student with respect. Assume good intent, disagree constructively, and lift others up.

No harassment or bullying

No targeted attacks, threats, intimidation, or persistent unwanted contact. This is a zero-tolerance rule.

No hate speech

Nothing that attacks or dehumanises anyone based on race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.

No explicit content

No sexual, graphic, or violent content. Keep everything appropriate for a professional learning community.

No spam or unsolicited self-promotion

Share relevant learnings and asks — not repetitive promotion, chain messages, or off-topic ads.

No illegal activities

Anything illegal in your jurisdiction — including doxxing, threats, fraud, or IP infringement — is not welcome here.

Respect privacy

Don't share private conversations, contact details, or personal information without explicit consent from everyone involved.

Consequences of violations

Content that violates these guidelines will be removed. Repeated violations may lead to temporary suspension or a permanent ban. We review every report within 24 hours.
