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.

Reposting from Reddit is a data preservation duty.

Yes, but I meant that the linked Reddit post itself was a repost, at lower resolution even, and that one also had been a repost, of this one with a mod note claiming that it is OC.

So I was mentioning the true (we think?) rather than merely the latest source and author. I hope that helps.

Oh, right right, I get you now. Thank you for your service, kind sophont.

It is conversations like these that make me glad I found the Fediverse:-). Rather than instantly lash out with hate from either of our side, we continued to discourse to get to the root of the issue and found common ground in our desire to preserve knowledge.:-) You know, a "conversation" rather than seeking opportunities for trolling.

Whereas on Reddit I would not have bothered to say anything in the first place - that place is just a lost cause at this point:-(. Thank you for helping make this place worth coming to:-).
