Posting rules, in plain words

Self-promotion is allowed at a ratio — contribute before you post about yourself. Promotion goes in weekly project display thread (weekly).

  • Put your links in the comments, not the posts: This is mainly to prevent spam. If you have a blog post you want to link, link it in the comments. If you have a project you want to show off, link it in the weekly project display thread.
  • Limit self promotion: Self promotion is fine, but if your posts are all self promotion (including promotion of your projects/products), you will be banned. A good ratio is one out of ten posts/comments.

Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.

What a good comment looks like here

  • — Provides specific, first-hand experience or solutions.
  • — Offers technical insights and explanations.
  • — Discloses affiliation or context when relevant.
  • — Directly addresses the post's core question with actionable advice.
