Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Another way of handling email ... or most other communication like social media ... especially if it is non-important information ... is to DELAY your response.

Some people are addicted to communications and want an instant answer so that they can start a long comment chain of completely nonsensical irrelevant information just to waste time.

I especially like the start of a comment chain from someone who starts with just one word or short messages 'hey' ... 'hello' ... 'call me'

I'll purposely wait a day or two to get back to them and say ... 'oh I just saw this, what's up' ... and if they response immediately ... I'll wait another day to get back to them.

Eventually, people realize not to contact me unless its something important and they give me enough information to respond back in time.
