Add some light guidance for making comments #1853

Open JoannaHill opened 2 months ago

JoannaHill commented 2 months ago

From Kat from Bugherd: Add guidance for making comments. Even if the extended version of guidance is further down the roadmap, we could improve the basics.

Bigger version of guidance sort of documented in Sabina's issue here: https://github.com/openaustralia/planningalerts/issues/1691

Using the points seen as useful in #1691 to start with, and turning these into questions as requested there into a kind of checklist

I'm not quite sure about turning the point about being respectful into a question for a checklist: Have you presented your views respectfully and without insulting anyone? seems a bit heavy handed. @JoannaHill does this feel like it's in the ballpark? feedback very welcome. Also I note that some of the questions seem dry without examples, for instance "what makes you qualified to comment" which might be as simple "as I live nearby/down wind of this development"
