Guidelines
The same rule that governs the whole site governs the forum: claims need evidence. Everything else follows from that.
Do
- Cite when you claim. “IBM’s Heron r2 has 156 qubits” needs a link; “I found the routing lesson confusing at step 3” doesn’t.
- Share experiments. Lab share-links (the #c= URLs) are the best way to ask “why does this circuit do that?” — everyone can run exactly what you ran.
- Say what you tried. Questions that show the attempt get better answers.
- Correct us. If a number on this site is wrong or stale, post it in hardware — corrections are logged publicly.
Don’t
- No vendor wars. Architecture comparisons are welcome; “X is doomed” posts without measurements are not.
- No hype forwarding. Press-release claims must be labeled as claims, per the site’s own rules.
- No homework dumping. Asking for help is fine; pasting an assignment and asking for the answer is not.
- No abuse. Attack arguments, never people. One warning, then removal.
Moderation, concretely
- Any signed-in user can report a thread or reply; reports go to the admins.
- Authors can delete their own posts; admins can delete any and can lock threads that have run their course.
- Deletion is a soft delete — content disappears from the site immediately, is retained up to 30 days for moderation review, then hard-deleted.
