Posting Guidelines.
Use Descriptive Titles:
When starting a thread, use a clear and descriptive title thats relevant to the Topic.
Stay on topic:
Posts should be relevant to the thread’s subject. Respect to the OP and the topic being discussed. Do not hijack threads by changing the subject. If you wish to discuss something unrelated, start a new thread.
Be Concise and Clear:
Be as clear as you can with details and give sources if referencing other people or sites.
Proper Language Use:
Please do not use ‘text-message’ style substitutions of words like ‘u’ for ‘you’, and ‘ur’ for ‘your’. Slang and jargon can be confusing and exclusionary. It’s important to use language that’s accessible to all members of the forum. This helps non-english speaking members that use translation software. Some people might use text to audio readers. Please also avoid excessive use of emojis.
Acknowledge and Cite Sources:
If you’re sharing information from another site or author, proper attribution is key. It’s a sign of intellectual honesty, comparable to citing sources in an academic paper.
Avoid Shouting:
Writing in ALL CAPS is considered shouting online.
Privacy and Confidentiality:
Do not share personal information about yourself or others.
Personal information should remain private.
Constructive Criticism:
Offer constructive criticism when commenting on someone’s posted opinion.
If you disagree with someone’s opinion, counter their points, rather than resorting to name-calling or derogatory comments.
Be Patient and Helpful:
Not everyone has the same level of expertise.
Report Violations:
Please report instead of engaging with the post.
If you see posts that violate the guidelines, please report them to support.
