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.

Please don't cover your mouth when you cough with your hands. Please don't.

Just to clarify, the suggestion here is to use the crook of your elbow.

No use your neighbors butt cheeks. Play them like the tuba

I mean it was a better solution than coughing openly into a group you are talking to, assuming you'd wash your hands afterward; but being in a men's bathroom, guys using the urinal or bowl just walk out without washing hands, so there is that.

Coughing with your hands? Haha.

I think your comment could do with a tweak.

"When you cough, please don't cover your mouth with your hands. Please don't."

-or-

"Please don't cover your mouth, when you cough, with your hands. Please don't."
