Ok now, by the title I know that most of you might be thinking that I am here to rant about how strict the community is and that this community is not flexible enough, I am sorry, it is somewhat click bait. I am a curator myself but I have a different side to view things as well. As normal , I know what you might think , you might think that we are kind of rude and are disabling all the chats and posts but please take a moment and cooperate in this tiny exercise.
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔◥ :hearts: ◤▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
1. Close your eyes.
2. Imagine yourself as the leader.
3. Study Amino is a community by the Amino Apps company. We all need to follow some rules in school, most of which are needed to be followed for the safety of us students. So, the teachers are strict.
Similarly, we need to follow the rules provided in order to effectively and efficiently run the community. Of course there might be many questions in you head, here are some that I can answer.
Please read the community guidelines carefully.
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔◥ :hearts: ◤▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Why do we disable posts and chats?
We only disable posts irrelevant to the community.
1. Homework help:
We are actually Studying Amino and here, we do things and post stuff to inspire others to study, this is not a place to discuss homework, Amino might have other communities for that. But if you have friends on here whom you know might know the answer to your question you can private message them.
2. Life updates:
We disable such posts just because if people then start posting all about their life, this place will become less study related. It will turn into a huge mess, I know that there might only be a few but our community is rapidly expanding so this might encourage many to post the same and eventually the environment will not be pleasing.
3. Polls:
I know polls are fun and we do not disable all polls, but sometimes if they are not study related, we might disable them.
For example: Which food do you like?
We have already made other posts on the spam polls, there are many polls right now asking people what they should post next. There were too many of them that we had to disable many. The thing is that this is a study community, we would love to see anything related to study whenever it is posted. More on that issue.
4. Non english posts:
As the logo if this app says, the medium of communication is English, that is an Amino rule and we are nobody to change it. That is because the majority on people speak English or know english and if we allow multiple languages, this place will be less organised and we all know how frustrated it is when we don't understand what the other is saying, but we are really sorry that the other languages cannot be used, however they can be in private chats. Also, notes in a different language is okay, this rule is solely for the medium of communication.
5. Aggressive language:
See, all of us are lovers of peace and we do not want to spread violence in any way, we don't want any hatred in here, let's keep this community clean, that will be so much better and will provide a good environment as well.
6. Announcements about different posts:
Say you got featured or got as good amount of followers, you don't have to announce that, we feature a lot of posts and most people in here gain followers quickly as there is not much competition. So if everyone gets featured then every post will be on that announcement that they got featured, we want to keep posts relevant to the community, we hope you understand.
7. ments:
This is a place to inspire others to study and not to stuff whether it be your social media or other Amino communities. As I have said a million times, we want to keep posts pretty relevant.
8. Fandoms or anything else not related to studying:
That one line explains it all. This needs no further explanation. (However, we have kept the Harry Potter common rooms as long as they are study related). For Example, Read this which is on Harry Potter posts.
9. Repetitive and inactive chats:
There are a whole lot of chats and most of them are almost the same, we suggest you to not make chats on subjects already made. This results in division of the and finally there will be just one or two in 10 different chats of the same topics. That won't be good, also inactive chats are also disabled. Read this for more info.
10. Stolen photos:
If you want to post any study inspiration in here, please make sure to properly credit the artist.
For Example: I do not own the photos, all credit to the original artist.
Photo from Instagram.
name: @abcdefgh
Link here: gfjrksoaksw7udjcbsksllakb
Make sure all the four lines are written. You can copy the template and paste it in.
Your posts can be taken down if:
1. No credit is given.
2. If only the first line of the template is written.
3. If only the 2nd line is written.
4. If only the first two lines are written.
There might also be bots and hackers, and s who are not appropriate for the community, in such situations, refer to these blogs.

I don't think you guys are being too strict. This community never felt like let's say under Hitler's command. It's quite straight forward and you're doing a great job!
Haha...Thanks so much. I am glad to hear your !

Your welcome :blush:
What about photos you don't know who they belong to?
We actually do not encourage reposting from other sites but one thing that you can do is a reverse google search, that might help.
Your point is understandable. So hey hope the other try to you guys too! ^^
Thanks so much! Hope they do.
All the "Cant post stuff thats out of the topic(aka studying) cause then the amino will become messy" got me thinking about some of the ice breaker challenges... Are they supposed to be "relevant"? All the people saying stuff like "Im 15 and I like color blue" its not about studying too, is it? Not to be rude but from your post Q:"Fandoms? If any?" A:" Melanie Martinez (...) this post said not to mention other fandoms, but some of the ice breaker challenges do it a lot. I get the questions like "what keeps you motivated?" ,but some are literally "whats your favourite food/color/book(which as you said is apperently irrelevant too even if you yourself have a post about books)". Sorry, everyone in the coments being so ive and then there's me. But I couldnt stay quiet.

Thanks so much for explaining more on the topic.

No, I totally get why you "deleted" the post I posted, cause it really doesnt match the content that is supposed to be posted on here. Just the fact that you did it made me think a bit more about some blogs I've seen. And thanks for explaining ^^

No problem, thank you for understanding :two_hearts:
We're here to answer questions too, so don't be afraid to ask any of the curators or the leader if you have any!
I don't believe that the leaders/curators are strict. You guys are just doing your best to make it a good, clean app and I completely agree with all the decisions that you guys are making!
Thank you so so so much! :blush: I totally appreciate it!
