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.

Am I the only one who finds it very weird when people add my name to sentences in a one on one conversation?
I do that because I'm bad with names and faces and it helps me remember who people are. I still won't recognize you, but i will remember that i talked to MoN about using names in 1:1 conversations.
No, MareOfNights, I also find that weird.
Start with praise and honest opinion.
So which is it?
Seriously though, I hate it when people throw in some praise completely unrelated to the thing we are talking about at the moment in an attempt to soften the criticism. It just seems really transparent and fake to me. Praise people for things when they are doing them, not as sugarcoating for your criticism. That just devalues the praise and your criticism. But maybe that's just my stereotypical German directness.
Context matters and if people just throw praise around without reading the situation it won't work anyway. Sugarcoating is still valid to make people feel good about themselves, but it should a well timed sidenote, not more
Guide was making a lot of sense, then suddenly I fired someone??
Think of it in terms of relationships, most relationships don't last forever, and even if a relationship broke apart due to disappointed expectations, there's no reason to throw somebody under the bus. Respect the people even if you no longer have an active relationship with one.
IE don't talk s*** about your ex
My ex is a domestic abuser and a pedophile
I'm sorry you went through that lived experience, but if that's the first piece of information somebody learns about you, it's going to put you at a disadvantage to building strong relationships.
It's just very general, if somebody hears you being negative about somebody who was in your life, people are going to be guarded about introducing you into their lives. So it makes it harder to win friends, and influence people. Not that it can't be done, you're just doing it with a disadvantage
