Q. What is spam (or spamming)?
A.

Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam and junk fax transmissions. (ref: wiki)

In the case of LearnHub, spamming consists of abusing communities, courses, lessons, comments, discussions, and or debates to send unsolicited bulk messages. This is most commonly use to promote websites, products, or in a destructive manner.

Q. What is consider abusive/offensive content?
A.

Abusive material includes: harassment, racism, and or threats. Offensive material includes: sexually explicit content, inappropriate ASCII, promotion of sexually explicit products, and or promotion of drug use.

This subject of content is not tolerated by LearnHub community staff and will be removed immediately.

Q. What do I do if I find an offensive Community or Course?
A.

If you come across a community/course that you feel is offensive/inappropriate or falls under one of the categories listed above; please report the community or course name with its full URL address (for example: http://inappropriate.learnhub.com) to support@learnhub.com. A community staff member will review and remove the community or course as soon as possible.

Q. A member posted spam in a Lesson or Discussion…
A.

If you’ve found a member has posted a lesson comment, discussion, or debate post that is spam or inappropriate; please use the “report” button found just below the post. Your request will be automatically sent to community staff to review. If the post violates appropriate content the post will be deleted and the member is subject to removal from LearnHub.

Note: Please do not report any comments, discussions, or debates that does not fall under inappropriate content. We encourage members to be post as frequently as they wish.

Q. I found a lesson that isn’t appropriate…
A.

If you come across a lesson page, video, or presentation that is inappropriate or spam please submit the page number to support@learnhub.com. Community staff will review and remove the content as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the abuse, the member will also be subject for removal.

You will find the lesson number by looking at the lesson URL in your web browser:

For example: this lesson number is 2602.

Q. Can I promote my website, blog, or product?
A.

While promotion of your website, blog, and or product is not prohibited, we highly recommend that you become a solid member of the community before you outright promote links outside of LearnHub. Often, registering an account followed by immediately sharing links to personal websites can appear as spam to community staff, community leaders, and members.

Your Authority Rating effects how well regarded you are by other members of the community. By participating and contributing to LearnHub’s communities your authority grows and you become legitimate to LearnHub and it’s members, thus promoting your website, blog, or product will be more effective.
