Community Guidelines

Chutky works because people help each other honestly. These guidelines keep it useful, kind and trustworthy.

Be helpful

• Answer the question that was asked. Share what you actually know or experienced.
• Say how you know: "I did this in 2024", "I work as a recruiter", "according to the official site…".
• Add sources when you state facts, especially dates, fees, eligibility and rules.

Be respectful

• No harassment, hate speech, threats or personal attacks.
• Disagree with ideas, not people.
• Respect privacy. Never post someone's phone number, address or private details.

Be honest

• No spam, self-promotion without disclosure, or affiliate links pretending to be advice.
• No fake reviews, vote manipulation or multiple accounts.
• Don't present AI-generated text as your personal experience.
• Don't pretend to be a doctor, lawyer, official or other expert. Only Chutky can give the Verified Expert badge.

Be safe

• No scams, fake job offers or requests for money.
• Health, legal and financial answers should encourage people to consult a professional for their specific situation.
• If someone may be in danger, encourage them to contact local emergency services (112 in India).

Reporting

See something that breaks these guidelines? Use Report. A report never removes anything or punishes anyone by itself: a moderator reviews it and decides. You'll get a note when your report has been reviewed; the other person never learns who reported them.

If a moderator removes your post, you'll be told why. Confirmed violations can cost Chutky Points and lead to a warning. After repeated violations, your new posts are checked by a moderator before they appear, and serious or continued abuse can lead to suspension or a permanent ban.

Thank you for helping make Chutky a place people can trust.
