The community rules
The community is for sharing digital logic work and learning from each other. Publishing, commenting and forking are open to anyone with an account, as long as what they share follows these rules.
What to share
- Your own work. Circuits, boards, functions and problems you made. Something built on someone else’s published design is fine: fork it, and the link back to theirs is kept for you.
- Something that helps others learn. A short description of what it does and how goes a long way.
What not to share
- Graded work that is not yet handed in, or answers to an assignment or exam that is still open. Publishing them helps nobody learn, and can get you and others into trouble.
- Copied work passed off as your own — from a textbook, a classmate, or another site.
- Spam, advertising, or links that have nothing to do with the design.
- Anything rude, hateful or personal — in a title, a description or a comment. Disagree with the work, never with the person.
- Personal details — your own or anyone else’s: phone numbers, addresses, student numbers.
How it is looked after
- What you post goes up straight away. Nothing waits to be approved.
- Anything that looks like it breaks these rules is flagged for the people who run LogicsBench — automatically as it is posted (contact details, links, rude words), or by anyone who presses Report on a design or a comment.
- Flagged posts stay up until someone looks. A design or a comment that does break the rules is then hidden: it leaves the community, and its publisher can still see it and why. Repeated or serious breaches can close an account.
- You stay in charge of your work. Unpublish a design at any time from its page, delete any comment on it, or turn off its link. What you publish is never copied anywhere but into the copies people fork from it.
- Only your name is shown with what you publish — never your email.
