What is Nexus for ?
Nexus exists to help people make better business decisions faster: by sharing real tactics, real feedback, and real results.
The scope is intentionally broad—entrepreneurship, investing, e-commerce, local businesses, and everything around building wealth and skills—because the best insights often come from cross-industry thinking.
Free expression matters here: controversial ideas are welcome when they’re argued in good faith and aimed at truth-seeking, not ego or dominance.
The “high-signal” standard
Every post should aim to be useful to a stranger who doesn’t know you yet. That’s how the community scales without becoming noise.
Low-effort content (vague questions, one-line opinions, link drops) pushes serious builders away because it forces others to do the work you didn’t do.
If you want strong answers, write like someone worth answering, provide context, show thinking, and make it easy for others to help.
How to post (with reasons)
Use specific titles. A precise title attracts the right people and increases the chance of getting expert replies.
Bad:
“Need help.” Good: “Best acquisition channel for a local service business with €500/month budget?”
Include context, Without constraints (country, budget, timeline, skill level), replies become generic and wrong.
Minimum context checklist:
• Goal (what outcome you want).
• Current situation (where you are now).
• Constraints (time, money, location, tools, legal limits).
• What you tried (so people don’t repeat obvious steps).
• What you’re considering (2–3 options max).
Share evidence when possible. Numbers beat vibes. Even imperfect data (conversion rate, CAC, hours spent, revenue, screenshots) makes the discussion serious and measurable.
Ask for a decision. End your post with a clear ask: “Which option should I pick and why?” or “What would you do first in the next 7 days?”
Debate, free expression, and respect
Attack ideas, not people. Hard disagreement is normal in business; disrespect is optional.
No harassment, hate, threats, or targeted humiliation. Those don’t create “free expression,” they create fear—and fear kills honest discussion.
Assume good faith first: most people are trying to win, not to harm. If someone is wrong, correct them with reasoning, sources, and calm confidence.
Promotion, reviews, and conflicts of interest
Nexus is not a billboard. Self-promo is allowed only when it’s genuinely useful and transparent. If a post exists mainly to sell, it’s spam.
Books & course reviews are welcome—but they must be structured and honest, because “reviews” are often hidden marketing.
Required disclosure (simple and direct):
• “I paid full price / I got it for free / I’m affiliated / I know the creator / I sell it.”
Recommended review format (makes it premium):
• Who it’s for (and who it’s not for).
• What you actually get (modules, depth, time required).
• What changed after applying it (results, or “no results yet”).
• Best parts / worst parts (specific, not vague).
• Verdict: recommend / mixed / avoid (with one-sentence reason).
Moderation (light, predictable, fair)
Moderation should be consistent and boring. The goal is to protect signal, safety, and trust—not to “win arguments.”
Typical enforcement ladder:
- Reminder + request to edit (most issues are fixable).
- Remove/lock content if it’s clearly harmful or pure spam.
- Temporary restrictions for repeated behavior (cooldown).
- Ban for scams, harassment, doxxing, or repeated bad-faith actions.
If you disagree with a moderation decision, appeal calmly and specifically. A good appeal explains what you meant, what you’ll change, and why your post still adds value.
