Community Guidelines: Getting the Most from SolomonSignal
How to participate effectively in SolomonSignal forums, idea validation, and product discussions.
SolomonSignal works best when everyone contributes thoughtfully. Here is how to get the most out of the platform.
Submitting Ideas
Be specific. "An app for productivity" tells us nothing. "A Pomodoro timer that integrates with Jira and tracks time against tickets" is a real idea we can evaluate.
Include the problem. Every idea should clearly state the problem it solves, who has that problem, and how they currently deal with it. Without this context, validation is impossible.
Accept honest feedback. The point of validation is to find weaknesses before you invest months building. If the community identifies issues, that is valuable — even when it is uncomfortable.
Forum Participation
Search before posting. Your question might already have a thorough answer. The search function and category filters help you find existing discussions.
Give context. "My app is not working" is impossible to help with. Include your tech stack, what you have tried, the specific error, and what you expected to happen.
Answer questions when you can. The community improves when experienced members share knowledge. Even partial answers are valuable — they help the original poster narrow down the issue.
Product Listings
Keep descriptions honest. Accurately describe what your product does today, not what you plan to build eventually. Users trust platforms where listings match reality.
Respond to feedback. If someone leaves a comment on your listing, reply. Engagement shows you care about your users and builds credibility.
What We Moderate
We remove spam, self-promotion disguised as questions, and content that does not contribute to the community. We do not moderate opinions — disagreement is healthy as long as it is respectful and constructive.
Repeated violations result in account restrictions. We would rather have a smaller, high-quality community than a large, noisy one.
The Goal
SolomonSignal exists to help builders move from idea to launch with less risk and more support. Every contribution that helps someone else make a better decision strengthens the platform for everyone.
