Alignable gives members the option of an AI assistant to help rewrite posts that may appear to be promotional or advertising in nature. These rewrites are intended to help you create better discussions in the groups you are a part of and generate more engagement, resulting in more conversations.
Per Alignable Group Guidelines, advertising and sales are not allowed within our group forums. This type of content can be shared on your profile or with your current connections. Groups are for meeting new people and growing your network, not for sales. Group discussions are for giving advice, asking questions, sharing new tools, tips, and relevant news — the kinds of posts that start conversations in the comments.
What Are My Options When a Post Is Flagged?
When creating a post that our systems detect as promotional, you will see a screen letting you know that the post is not allowed. From here you have three options:
-
Ask our assistant to help you reword your post. This will create a new post that uses the information in your current post and makes it more engaging while ensuring it fits the group guidelines.
- If you choose to use the rewrite tool, you are able and encouraged to edit the suggested post in your own words. You should not use the suggested post verbatim.
- We recommend checking the text and adding spaces and line breaks for maximum readability.
- Share this post with your network (your current connections) for them to see on their homepage.
- Report an issue with the system by selecting "Report an Issue."
For example, a post like "Have you heard about Zoom AI note taking? It's great, everyone should use Zoom AI for note taking. It's also free! WOW!" would be flagged — even though the person doesn't work for Zoom, they are promoting a product the same way a salesperson would. When you click post, you will see a screen letting you know the post is promotional and presenting you with the three options above.
If you go back from that screen, you will still have the option to "Help me reword my post" or edit your original message.
