As you begin to engage with others in this place, we have a few things for you to keep in mind. Please read through the following expectations for involvement. Thanks! We look forward to your contributions!
Starting a Discussion 📝
Want to start a new discussion? Great! Please keep the following points in mind:
- Quickly search the forum for a few keywords related to your topic. It could be that such a discussion has already begun.
- Give it a good title! You'll connect with more people if your title makes it clear what you want to talk about.
- Choose the right tag(s). This will increase the likelihood your post will be read.
- Don’t post new discussions repeatedly about the same topic.
- Remember, you don't need to sign your posts. We've got your profile to let us know who you are.
Replying in a Discussion 💬
Thank you for taking the time to participate in a discussion! To encourage meaningful conversation, consider the following when replying:
- Always remember that the intent of this forum is to build community and introduce new tools. Remain civil and constructive.
- Don't reply to a title. Read the original post, and at least scan the rest of the conversation first.
- Ask yourself if your reply would add to the discussion. If it doesn't, give it some more thought before posting.
- Avoid making one-word posts just to agree with someone; you can use reactions for that.
- If your reply is likely to divert the course of the discussion, consider starting a new discussion instead.
