Community Guidelines

antcpu Human in the Loop Challenge ยท August 2026 Cohort ยท Effective August 1, 2026
Free doesn't mean cheap. This community is built on real work, real feedback, and real respect. The standard is high because the opportunity is real.

The One Rule That Covers Everything

Treat every challenger the way you'd want to be treated on your first day at a job that matters to you. That's it. Everything below is just that rule applied to specific situations.

What This Community Is For

๐Ÿ“ค
Sharing real work
Post your submissions, your progress, your experiments. Rough drafts welcome. Polished work welcome. The only thing not welcome is pretending.
๐Ÿ’ก
Giving useful feedback
Specific, honest, constructive. "Great work!" is not feedback. "Your hook is strong but your CTA is buried โ€” move it to line 2" is feedback.
โ“
Asking real questions
No question is too basic. The only bad question is the one you didn't ask because you were embarrassed. This community has challengers from every background and every level.
๐Ÿค
Building on others' ideas
See something interesting? Say so. Ask a follow-up. Suggest an improvement. The best work in this challenge will come from challengers who push each other forward.

Do and Don't

โœ… Do
  • Post your actual work โ€” even if it's unfinished
  • Give specific, actionable feedback
  • Credit AI tools you used in your submissions
  • Disagree respectfully and explain why
  • Support challengers from different backgrounds
  • Ask for help when you're stuck
  • Celebrate others' progress genuinely
  • Communicate if you're falling behind
โŒ Don't
  • Post generic praise that helps no one
  • Submit work that isn't yours without attribution
  • Spam the feed with off-topic content
  • Dismiss or belittle challengers with less experience
  • Game peer feedback to boost your own score
  • Share internal scoring or admin information
  • Disappear without communicating
  • Create multiple accounts

Feedback Standards

Peer feedback is a scored dimension of the challenge. Generic comments do not count. The antcpu team reads all feedback and evaluates it on specificity, usefulness, and generosity.

Good feedback answers at least one of these questions:

  • What specifically works and why?
  • What would you change and how?
  • What question does this work raise that the challenger should think about?
  • What resource or approach might help them improve?
Feedback that says "great job" or "keep it up" will not count toward your peer feedback gate. Be specific. Be generous. Be honest.

AI-Assisted Work

AI tools are encouraged throughout the challenge. Using AI well is one of the seven scoring dimensions. The standard is not whether you used AI โ€” it's whether you directed it, refined it, and made it yours.

  • Always note which AI tools you used in your submission.
  • Submitting raw AI output without direction or refinement is not acceptable.
  • The question we ask is: did you make this better, or did you just press generate?

Cross-Track Respect

Dev and Marketing challengers work together from Week 3 onwards. Both tracks are equally valued. Neither is more important than the other. The best outcomes in this challenge come from Dev and Marketing working as one team โ€” not competing tracks.

If you don't understand what the other track does, ask. That curiosity is exactly what we're looking for.

Global Community Standards

This challenge is open to challengers from every country. Language, timezone, and cultural differences are features of this community โ€” not obstacles. Adapt your communication to be clear and inclusive.

  • Write in English in the main feed so everyone can participate.
  • Be patient with challengers for whom English is a second or third language.
  • Never make assumptions about someone's ability based on their country or background.

Enforcement

The antcpu team monitors the community feed and submission queue throughout the challenge. Violations of these guidelines may result in:

  • A direct message from the antcpu team asking you to correct the behaviour.
  • Removal of specific posts or submissions.
  • Removal from the challenge in serious or repeated cases.

We will always communicate before taking action unless the violation is severe. The goal is never to punish โ€” it's to maintain a community worth being part of.

Reporting

If you see something that violates these guidelines, email antcpu@gmail.com with the post or submission in question. After August 1 you can also flag it directly in the community feed.

Reports are handled privately. The identity of the person reporting is never shared.
