Forum Guidelines

Create a New Forum Topic

To make a new forum topic, click the green New issue button. If appropriate, add a label to help categorise your forum post.

Topic Title

Use a clear and to the point topic titles; not too much, not too little. For instance, some examples of bad titles would be:

The first example is too simple and does not convey the contents of the topic and the posts inside. The second example is messy and poses questions within the heading. A good example of a heading would look like:

Topic Contents

The contents of your forum post should be placed in the comment section. Use clear English, we are not texting in 2005, so don't abbreviate. If you are using acronyms, define the acronym the first time you use it. Keep in mind the perspective of the reader; flux has a wide-ranging community and some may not be familiar with the jargon you are using. Some other suggestions to make your forum post clear include:

Community Guidelines

Please be respectful of others. In the case of a disagreement, be sure to disagree with the idea and not the individual. "I disagree with that statement, here's why" is better than "you're wrong!". Basically, don't be nasty, keep trolling to a minimum and don't make personal attacks.

"don't" abbreviate? This is maybe a bit too broad atm. Tho it does make things less ambiguous.
