Guidelines

Short on purpose. Moderators apply them with common sense.

Be kind

Everyone was new once. Explain instead of mocking, and disagree with ideas, not people. Harassment, hate and threats are removed and the account is banned.

Stay on topic

Phones, computers, gadgets, apps and this site. Not politics, chain messages or deals hunting for other people.

No spam or self-promotion

No ads, referral or SEO links, paid reviews, or "customer care" numbers. A moderator checks a new member's first post and any post with links before it goes live. Spam accounts are banned and everything they posted is removed.

Keep personal details private

Don't post your phone number, address, IMEI, order IDs, OTPs or passwords. Nobody from TechPP will ask for them. Posts that share them are removed.

Say what you tested

Name the model and software version you tried. If advice could lose someone's data or warranty, say so. Misleading or unsafe advice can be reported.

Mark the answer

When a reply fixes your problem, mark it as the answer. It helps the next person with the same question.

Report it, don't argue

Use Report on anything that breaks these rules. Posts that several members report are hidden until a moderator looks at them.

How moderation works

New members can start 3 discussions and post 15 replies a day; the limits go up once a few posts are approved. Breaking the rules can mean a removed post, a 7-day suspension or a ban. You can delete your account from settings at any time, and your posts stay up as “Former member”. Questions about a decision go in Site feedback.
