Keeping the forums focused: A note on technical engagement standards

The XMTP Community Forums exist specifically for developers and researchers to collaborate on technical topics related to building XMTP and building with XMTP.

Posts that will be removed:

While the forum welcomes genuine curiosity and learning, it must maintain high standards to preserve the technical focus of the XMTP developer community. Posts may be removed if they:

  • Lack substantive technical content or questions relevant to active XMTP development

  • Appear primarily designed to establish presence rather than contribute to technical discussions

  • Show patterns inconsistent with genuine developer engagement (e.g., rapid posting without context, generic enthusiasm without specific technical interest)

  • Request information readily available in the XMTP documentation without demonstrating prior research effort

What is encouraged instead:

  • Specific technical questions that show you’ve reviewed existing XMTP documentation first

  • Sharing implementation challenges, solutions, or code examples

  • Discussing protocol design, security considerations, or architectural decisions

  • Contributing to ongoing technical discussions with informed perspectives

  • Asking for clarification on complex technical concepts

XMTP’s commitment

XMTP champions permissionless innovation and open collaboration. However, maintaining a high-quality technical forum requires protecting the developer community’s time and attention. If your post is removed, you’re welcome to revise and resubmit with more specific technical content.

Good intent is assumed, but must prioritize the needs of active builders and researchers.

An excellent solution developed using XMTP is exactly what we need.

Today I marked several messages as spam that were meaningless, some duplicated existing topics, and brought no value to the forum. They were automatically deleted. I wanted to ask if I can keep doing this and help maintain the forum’s cleanliness, since I have this function available. Or should this be done exclusively by moderators? @jha

Thanks for the clarification — totally makes sense to keep the forum focused on technical discussions.
I appreciate the guidance on what’s encouraged and what may be removed.
Will make sure to review the docs first and come with more specific, implementation-focused questions going forward.
