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.

              How is this a guide for adults?? I knew most of these before I became an adult.
These ought to be taught by parents and other adults which are important in the child’s life, and backed up by demonstrations by example. Parents have a duty to demonstrate correct behaviours themselves, and reinforce those behaviours in their children.
The shopping cart one ought to be extended to “if you pick something up in the store and don’t want it, put it back where you got it from”. I see far too much perishable frozen/refrigerated  goods stuffed elsewhere on a shelf and dethawing to unsaleability because people changed their minds and couldn’t be arsed to put it back where it came from.
For the “cover your mouth” one - please, for the love of Pete, learn the difference between a cough and a clearing of the throat. They are not the same damn thing.
