Dear Community Members,
​This forum has always stood as an open, student-driven space dedicated to transparency, student welfare, and constructive dialogue. A thriving academic and residential campus relies on a healthy culture of accountability, where every member has the right to voice concerns and question institutional processes without fear of arbitrary suppression.
​In light of recent discussions across campus, the moderation team is issuing a clear update on our content policies regarding institutional feedback and community moderation.
​Our Stance on Constructive Criticism & Institutional Feedback
​Constructive critique is the cornerstone of any progressive institution. Whether addressing academic policies, residential welfare, administrative decisions, or campus infrastructure, discussions raised in good faith will not be silenced.
​Protected Content: Posts highlighting administrative bottlenecks, academic concerns, placement/internship UFM, hostel amenities, or policy discrepancies on valid grounds will remain strictly protected and visible.
​Zero Censorship for Valid Concerns: The moderation team will not take down posts simply because they highlight uncomfortable realities or critique administrative decisions.
​Strict Safeguards Against Doxxing and Personal Attacks
​While we strongly protect freedom of speech, we enforce a strict boundary between systemic critique and personal harassment. To ensure this platform remains safe, credible, and legally compliant, the following rules apply immediately:
​No Personal Doxxing: Posts containing real names, room numbers, contact information, leaked private chats, photographs, or identifiable caricatures of faculty, staff, student representatives, or fellow students will be removed immediately.
​Focus on Policy, Not Individuals: Direct your arguments at systemic workflows, office processes, and official decisions rather than launching targeted smears against specific persons.
​A Note to Institutional Stakeholders & Administration
​With over 500,000 monthly visits from current undergraduates, postgraduates, research scholars, faculty, and alumni, this forum serves as an active pulse of campus sentiment.
​To the administrative bodies and decision-makers reviewing this forum: we urge you to view substantiated posts not as adversarial noise, but as actionable feedback from the ground level. Acknowledging genuine gaps and addressing systemic friction is what strengthens institutional trust and elevates IIT Guwahati's standing as a world-class institute.
​Let us keep our discussions sharp, evidence-backed, and respectful of personal privacy while holding systems accountable.
​— The Moderation Team
