Find problems, solutions, categories and people.
problems.live works because the list is trustworthy. Six rules keep it that way.
01
A good entry describes something that is genuinely hard — who it affects, when it happens, and why it is still unsolved. If your post is mostly about a product you want people to buy, it belongs in Solutions, or nowhere.
02
“I have this problem” means you actually have it. The count is the most valuable number on this site, and it only stays valuable if people are honest. One vote per person, and you can take it back any time.
03
We show you similar problems while you type. Adding your voice to an existing entry is almost always worth more than starting a near-duplicate — a problem with 2,000 validations gets solved; the same problem split across ten posts does not.
04
Criticise approaches, assumptions and evidence freely. Attacks on people, harassment, hate speech and threats get removed and can cost you your account.
05
Do not post anyone's address, phone number, ID numbers, or anything else that identifies a private individual — including your own. Anonymous posting exists precisely so you can describe a sensitive problem safely.
06
Affiliate dumps, engagement bait, crypto “opportunities”, paid-service touting and link farms are removed on sight. Linking to something you built is fine — as long as it genuinely answers the problem.
Everything you post is checked automatically before it goes public. Most posts pass instantly. Borderline ones are held for a human, and a small number are rejected outright. Reports from other people never remove content on their own — they queue it for review.
