 Hundreds of thousands of Ethereum enthusiasts gather in these online forums to share news, talk about recent developments, debate technical issues, and imagine the future.
 
+## Listing Policy {#listing-policy}
+
+To maintain the integrity and value of the listed communities, ethereum.org follows a strict policy for determining eligibility:
+
+### Eligibility Criteria {#eligibility-criteria}
+
+- **Relevance**: The community must be directly related to Ethereum and its ecosystem.
+- **Activity Level**: The community should be active, with regular interactions, posts, or discussions. Dormant or inactive communities may be removed.
+- **Inclusivity**: The community should foster a welcoming environment that respects diversity and encourages participation from people of all backgrounds.
+- **Non-commercial Focus**: Listings are intended for community-driven spaces rather than commercial or promotional platforms.
+
+### Content Guidelines {#content-guidelines}
+
+- **Appropriate Content**: Communities must have their own moderation guidelines, avoiding spam, hate speech, harassment, or any content that promotes illegal activities.
+- **Language**: While English is the primary language, communities in other languages are encouraged to submit as long as they maintain an inclusive and respectful atmosphere.
+- **Transparency**: Clear information about the community’s purpose, rules, and moderators should be available to members.
+
+### Other Recommendations {#other-recommendations}
+
+- **Accessibility**: Community forums should be accessible for everyone to read without requiring a sign-up or registration.
+- **Discord Server Invites**: It is recommended that only reliable Discord server invites be added to ethereum.org. Ideally, these invites should link to a community page on the website (e.g., [ethglobal.com/discord](https://ethglobal.com/discord)) or be from an official URL (e.g., [discord.gg/ethstaker](https://discord.gg/ethstaker) or [discord.com/invite/ethstaker](https://discord.com/invite/ethstaker)).
+
+If you believe a community should be added or removed based on these guidelines, please [open an issue on our GitHub repository](https://github.com/ethereum/ethereum-org-website/issues).
