Community Rules
The 3 Rules That Protect Everyone.
The full Community Rules are pinned inside. Answers in the community are information, not legal advice.
- Rule 1
Keep CUI, Prices, And Proposals Out
Never post Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), your prices, or proposal text you do not own. Not sure? Ask your question in general words.
- Rule 2
No Selling Without Permission
No ads, cold pitches, or sales messages. Want to offer something to members? Ask the GradeTheBid Team first.
- Rule 3
Be Kind
Disagree with ideas, never with people. Assume good intent, and help the way you would want to be helped.
