Community Guidelines

A Learning Community

Beyond CTCI exists to help people prepare for technical interviews. That means everyone here — regardless of experience level — is working to improve. Members will be at different stages of their journey, and that is the point.

Be patient with those who know less than you. Be humble with those who know more. Offer encouragement where you can, and remember that you are interacting with someone who has chosen to put in the work to get better. Respect that effort.

Your Voice Matters

Beyond CTCI is built with its members in mind, and your perspective directly shapes the platform. We actively encourage you to share bug reports, feature requests, and feedback on our public roadmap at roadmap.beyondctci.dev. This is where you can see what's being worked on, vote on what matters most to you, and propose ideas of your own.

Your insight as someone actively using this platform to prepare for interviews is invaluable — you see things the development team cannot. Whether it's a workflow that feels clunky, a feature that would save you time, or a bug that's getting in your way, we want to hear it. The same standards of respect and relevance apply in these channels: keep feedback constructive, on-topic, and focused on the platform — not directed at individuals.

Respect and Harassment

This is a community of people helping each other through a stressful process. That requires a baseline of mutual respect. Disagree with an approach, challenge an idea, give honest feedback — but do it in a way that treats the other person as a professional peer. Harassment of any kind is prohibited, including but not limited to:

• Targeted hostility, personal attacks, intimidation, or repeated unwelcome contact
• Sexual or objectifying comments, imagery, or behavior
• Language or content that demeans, threatens, or dehumanizes individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity

Privacy and Confidentiality

Do not share personally identifiable information (PII) of others without their explicit consent. This includes personal details shared during peer interviews, coaching sessions, or any other platform interaction. What is discussed in an interview stays in that interview unless both parties agree otherwise.

This extends to any context where private information might surface — a peer mentions their employer during a mock interview, a coaching client shares their job search timeline, or a member discloses personal circumstances in conversation. None of that is yours to repeat or share elsewhere.

If you come across private or sensitive information being shared without consent — whether in feedback channels, interviews, or anywhere else on the platform — report it to support@beyondctci.dev so it can be addressed promptly.

Intellectual Honesty

Interview preparation depends on trust. Members are expected to act with integrity in all aspects of their participation on the platform:

• Do not share proprietary interview questions obtained under NDA or confidentiality agreements from employers or recruiting processes. If a company shared it with you in confidence, it does not belong here.
• Give credit where it is due. If you reference or adapt someone else's solution, approach, or explanation, acknowledge the source.
• Represent your own work honestly. Do not present others' solutions as your own during peer interviews or in any platform interaction.
• Do not misuse AI-generated content in ways that misrepresent your understanding during peer interviews or coaching sessions.

Inappropriate Content

Offensive, explicit, unlawful, or excessively graphic content is prohibited. Keep all discussions and submissions professional.

Spam and Solicitation

Do not submit repetitive, irrelevant, or promotional content. Unsolicited promotions, phishing attempts, and advertising of products or services are strictly prohibited.

Impersonation

Misrepresenting your identity or impersonating another person or organization is prohibited. Be honest about who you are in all interactions — through usernames, profiles, and direct communication.

Enforcement

If you see content or behavior that violates these guidelines, report it to support@beyondctci.dev. All reports will be reviewed. Enforcement actions — including warnings, suspension, or permanent removal — are taken at Beyond CTCI's sole discretion to maintain the safety and integrity of the community.
