Into The Forrst

A quick note on the Forrst Guidelines

I’d like to take a moment to go into a bit of detail regarding one of the Forrst guidelines, as it seems to be one of the most frequently overlooked on Forrst:

Posts should have detailed titles and descriptions, and be well-formatted so other Forrsters have a clear idea about what they’re looking at.

We ask that all posts have clear, thoughtful descriptions and that they are well-formatted (i.e. full sentences, proper punctuation, and so forth). Taking a few extra minutes to make sure you’ve provided a detailed description and a well-formatted post shows that you care about what you’re sharing, and that you’re keen on making sure other Forrsters can follow along with your posts. Posts that lack any kind of description tend to not create much meaningful discussion, as there’s only so much to be said about posts like “I was bored”, “Just some code”, or “Icons.” We’re starting to be more assertive about enforcing this guideline, so I wanted to address it before hand and to give a heads-up.

We’d really appreciate it if you’d also take the time to review the guidelines, as they’ve recently been updated.

Thanks so much, and please feel free to email with any questions: kyle at forrst dot com.
