The rules are the usual: be nice, don't call people names, seek first to be understood, etc. NO SPAM. (You are welcome to question my politics, but not criticize them. Nazis and their sympathizers will be banned.)

The guidelines are easy: just be sure you are referencing an issue & chapter or issue and page number so that we all know where you are on. If you have helpful links, you are welcome to add them to your post.

The purpose of this forum is that I am sick of social media, because it has become less about engagement and more about views and how many eyeballs you can sacrifice to the marketing gods. (Relevant. Also relevant.) This is a private place, away from all of that.

If you are interested in contributing, please let me know! (I honestly thought I could produce a second issue sooner than I did, but writing one of these things is a lot of hard work—more than I realized, anyway. )

Also, I can't pick out good names. If you can think up a good name for these forums, please respond in this thread.

Most of this is copied from the Vanilla boilerplate. I'll probably change and adapt as we go along.

1. Make the discussion title or question as descriptive as possible. A good discussion title is a short preview of your post and is what gets people to click and read. A well written title is also going to help search engines better index your post which will bring more people into the discussion. For example, instead of ‘Help, Won’t Connect’, try ‘I’m having problems getting my Acme modem into bridge mode.’
   
2. Put the bottom line up front . See this page for more information.
   
3. Proof read. Spelling mistakes, typos, and bad grammar will distract readers from the point you’re trying to make. Vanilla automatically saves drafts as you type. If you’re writing a long post, save it as a draft and come back to it after a few minutes or as long as it takes your brain to forget what you had written.
   
4. If you want responses, ask for them. In marketing this is called a ‘call to action’. If you want others to comment, you can encourage them by asking them to do so. If your post is just an FYI then don’t.
   
5. Add an image. Images add visual interest and make your post look great when shared to social networks. You can embed an image using the button bar or you can upload one from your desktop or phone.
   
6. Take ownership. Most important of all, take ownership of the discussions that you have created. Respond to comments promptly and thoughtfully. Thank others for commenting on your discussion and help with moderation if things get heated.
   

This is mostly from the Vanilla software boilerplate, but I'll add/delete/modify as needed.

Here are some guidelines:

• Keep your posts relevant to the forum category.
  
• Please be respectful of others and don’t sweat the small stuff.
  
• Please do not post any personal information or photos that you wouldn’t want to be seen by the public.
  
• Do not post hateful or illegal content. Do not post copyrighted material without proper attribution.
  
• Don't spam. If you have a legitimate affiliate link (i.e., you actually use that service), feel free to post it, as long as you indicate that it is an affiliate link.
