Essay Humanizer Forum posting guidelines

These guidelines exist so that a student arriving from a search engine finds a clear question, a clear answer and enough evidence to judge it. They are short on purpose. If something is not covered here, ask whether the post helps the next reader and keeps the forum honest.

Academic integrity

This is the most important rule. We help you write and understand your own work. We never write, finish, rewrite or sell assignments, and we do not do those things in answers either.

The following are removed:

• Requests for someone to write, complete or rewrite an essay, a paragraph or an answer that you will submit as your own.
• Offers of paid essay writing, ghostwriting or other services that sell finished work, often called contract cheating.
• Advice on getting around AI detectors or on misleading an instructor about how a piece of work was made.
• Whole essays pasted for others to fix. Share a short excerpt, a few sentences at most, and say what you want help with.

Follow your institution's rules. Every school and course differs on AI help, collaboration and citation, and what is allowed in one class may be banned in the next. When in doubt, ask your instructor in writing. Questions about how to read a policy, how to be honest about the help you used, or how to respond fairly if a detector flags your work are welcome here.

Asking a question

Put the real question in the title. "How do I narrow a thesis for a 1,500 word essay?" is better than "Help with essay". In the body, say the course level, the assignment prompt or the rubric line, the citation style and edition, and what you have already tried. Search first, because many questions about APA, thesis statements and revision have been answered, and a reply to an existing thread keeps the evidence in one place.

Writing an answer

Answer the question in the first two sentences, then explain. Say which style guide or edition you mean. Explain the reasoning, not just the fix, so the student can apply it next time. If you are sharing personal experience, say so and say what it covered. Personal experience is welcome. It just should not be presented as a rule.

Sourcing

Staff answers cite their sources, and we ask members to do the same. A claim about how a style works should link to the style guide or a university library page. A claim about a policy should link to the policy. A claim about detector accuracy should link to the study or to an institutional statement. Prefer the original document over a summary of it. Dates matter, because policies and guides get revised, so say when you checked.

Personal information

Do not post other people's personal information. That includes names of students, teachers or classmates, student numbers, private emails, and screenshots that show any of these. Remove identifying details from your own situation as well, and from any excerpt you share. Do not try to identify, accuse or shame a private person, whether a classmate or an instructor.

Disagreement

Disagree with the argument, not the person. Say what you think is wrong and show your source. Evidence-based disagreement is useful. Insults, sarcasm aimed at a member and pile-ons are not.

Corrections

If an answer is wrong or out of date, reply with the correction and your source. If it is your own answer, edit it and say what changed. Staff do the same and add a visible note in the thread.

Moderation

Any member can report a post. Reports go to a queue that staff check. When a post is removed, its author sees the reason and can appeal by emailing the team. Moderation actions are logged, and staff do not remove a post only because they disagree with it. Spam, harassment, repeated self-promotion and posts that break the integrity rules above are removed.

Accounts

You sign in with your email address, and we send a one-time link and code. New accounts go through a short trust period during which links in their posts are held back until staff have seen a few approved posts. Please use one account per person.

Staff posts

Forum staff wrote the first threads so the forum is useful from day one. Every staff post has a Staff label. Staff follow the same sourcing rules as everyone else and can be challenged in the same way.
