Community guidelines — the short version

M M 3 months ago

We keep things simple. Three principles:

  1. Be respectful. Disagree with ideas, not with people.
  2. Be helpful. If someone asks a question, try to answer it or point them somewhere useful.
  3. Stay on topic. Each space has a purpose. Use the Off-Topic Lounge for everything else.

Moderators keep conversations productive. If you see something that does not belong, use the flag button.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.
