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.

The A series is better because it divides easily into smaller sizes, shows more on phones, and portrait monitors.

I like my A sheets, but no paper format is good on screen, it's a whole different medium.

The Americans haven’t been alright since pirates captured the reference kilogram on its way to the newly independent USA from France, and they sour-grapesed themselves into making wilful archaisms part of their identity.

Don't forget choosing transmission errors and telling the rest of the world they are saying the name of a metal wrong.

I never would have believed Canada to be on the dark side of paper formats.

It sucks, trust me…

I would like to change to A4 paper, but in Canada? Good luck even finding it. Staples carries 1 SKU and at $28 for 500 seets it's 4x the price of other paper.

A series is just so practical and simple. Cut a A0 sheet in 2 at the center of the long edge, you get 2x A1, repeat you get 4x A2, etc. This also simplifies production.
