The guidelines in brief
Treat everyone here the way you would treat a stranger you were roped to. Be respectful: disagree with the idea, never attack the person. Be helpful, be honest (including when the honest answer is “not yet”), and be welcoming to beginners. No personal attacks, no private information about other people, no spam, and if you stand to gain from the advice you give — as a guide, an operator or a brand — say so in the post.
