Tips For Getting the Most From This Community

• Be Clear and Specific: When posting, make it easy for others to understand your question or contribution. Clear communication leads to better answers!
• Use Threads: Keep conversations organized by using threads for replies. It keeps the channel tidy and focused.
• Keep It Short: Avoid 200+ word top-level posts — nobody wants to read your novel and it clogs up the channel. For better engagement, share a concise topic or question. Then share your detailed content in the thread as a reply.
• Respect and Support: This is a collaborative space. Respect each other's opinions, share knowledge generously, and remember that we're all here to learn and grow together.
• Don't Offer to Sell or Buy Links: Talking about link exchanges or offering to buy or sell links is the most common (and fastest) way to get yourself removed from this community. Just don't do it.
