Community Rules
Last updated: 26 October 2026
The Talaskill community is where job seekers, students and professionals help each other: tips, interview and exam experiences, questions and answers, files and links, and courses, events and volunteering, by country and field. These rules keep it useful and safe. They are part of our Terms of Use.
In short: share what you know or have lived, be honest and respectful, and never use the community to sell, cheat, deceive or expose anyone.
1. What to share
Share what helps others find work, study or grow:
- Tips and ideas from your own experience.
- Interview and exam experiences: the stages, the topics and how you prepared.
- Articles, and files or links that are useful and that you have the right to share.
- Questions about work, study and skills, and answers based on what you know.
- Courses, events and volunteering opportunities, with honest dates, place, cost and organiser.
- Requests for help, and offers of help, for example with a CV, a study plan or a project.
2. Posting well
Choose the right country, field, skills and language, so the post reaches the people it can help. Write a clear title that says what the post is about, and keep to one subject per post. Say where information comes from when it matters, and correct or delete a post that turns out to be wrong.
3. What is not allowed
The following are removed, and can lead to losing access to the community or to the Service:
- Advertising, spam, and posts whose purpose is to sell something.
- Requests for money, scams, fake job offers, and offers to pay in order to apply.
- False or misleading information, including fake courses, events or organisations.
- Anyone's personal information (phone number, address, ID, private messages or photos) without their consent.
- Hate, harassment, threats, or insults towards a person or a group.
- Sexual, violent or illegal content.
- Copies of exam or test questions, leaked answers, or anything meant to help people cheat. Sharing the topics and how to prepare is fine.
- Other people's work shared without permission, such as paid books, courses or files.
- Harmful files or links, and links hidden behind a link shortener or a look-alike address.
- Pretending to be another person, or to speak for an organisation you do not represent.
- Recruiting people into chat groups or channels to move them away from the community.
4. Links and files
You can attach PDF, image (PNG or JPG) and Office files. Files are checked by their content, location data is removed from photos, and files are always downloaded, never opened inside the site. Links are checked against a list of known harmful sites. A shortened link, a chat-group invitation or a look-alike address holds the post for a moderator. A link opens another website: check it before you enter any details.
5. How posts are reviewed
Every post and answer is reviewed automatically the moment it is shared:
- Green: published at once, for example from a trusted member or a verified organisation, or with links only to well-known sites.
- Yellow: published at once and seen by everyone, with a note to check its links before entering any details. It reaches search engines after a few days without reports.
- Red: held until a moderator decides, for example when it has a shortened link, talk of payments, or a file from a brand-new account. A moderator is told at once.
6. Moderators and reports
Moderators are members who have shared well and whom we chose to help, together with our team. They review held and reported posts and decide whether they stay. They see the post and the reasons, never your private account details.
If you see something that breaks these rules, report it and choose the reason. When several established members report the same post, it is hidden until a moderator looks at it. Reports are private: the author is never told who reported them. Reporting in bad faith is itself a misuse of the community.
7. When a rule is broken
A moderator can keep a post, remove it, or remove only the part that breaks a rule (for example, someone's phone number). The author is told when a post is removed, with the reason where possible. Repeated or serious breaches, such as scams or exposing someone's personal information, can lead to losing access to the community, or to the account being closed, under our Terms of Use. Content that breaks the law may be reported to the authorities where the law requires it.
8. If you disagree with a decision
Write to us at Talaskill1@gmail.com with the post's link and why you think the decision was wrong. We will look at it again and reply.
9. Information, not professional advice
What members share is their own experience and opinion. It is not checked by Talaskill and is not legal, medical, financial or psychological advice. Check important information, such as exam dates, requirements and fees, with the official source. For a legal, medical or mental-health question, speak to a qualified specialist.
10. Courses, events and volunteering
Post an opportunity only if it is real and you are allowed to share it. Give the true dates, place, cost and organiser, and say clearly if it is paid. Posting in the name of an organisation is possible only for organisations verified on Talaskill. If the opportunity is cancelled, delete or update the post.
11. Questions and answers
Ask clearly and say what you have already tried. Answer from what you know, and say so when you are not sure. The person who asked can choose the best answer, and other members can mark answers as helpful. A mark showing that the person who answered passed a Talaskill test in the skill reflects that test only; it is not an endorsement of the answer.
12. Changes and contact
We may update these rules as the community grows; the date at the top shows the latest version. Questions: Talaskill1@gmail.com.
