If I've hit a technical snag using Carta and need some help, is this the place?

What should I do if I see an offensive or rude comment?
Click the v drop down at the top of any post and select Mark As Inappropriate to let us know. Don't hesitate to send a direct message to anyone from the Carta team as well.

What are the rules of this Community? Can you edit or delete my posts?
We take safety and inclusivity seriously in the Carta Community. Although we normally won't edit your posts (unless we need to change the category or apply tag(s) for easier search and accessibility), admins can delete any post or reply that is not aligned with our Community Guidelines. Our primary policy is to lead with respect, and we reserve the right to delete posts that contain:
- Rude or offensive commentary
- Nudity or graphic content
- Anything that can be interpreted as "trolling"
- Anything that can be interpreted as "spammy"
Our Community guidelines are simple, but strict:
- Always be supportive and helpful to others
- Speak to others the way you'd like them to speak to you
- Remember that we all started somewhere
- Keep product feedback constructive - this is not a place to speak disparagingly about any products, including Carta
- We reserve the right to ban any members who make posts or comments that we deem offensive, rude, and/or against these guidelines.
