What do you want to know when joining ENWorld?

We have a strong list of community guidelines which should always be the first place to send new members.

But, let's face it, we have a huge variety of posters. Worldwide reach with different cultures represented. People who played Chainmail when it came out to people who are just joining our hobby. A wide variety of neurodivergent and neurotypical posters and readers, some of whom will do better with a hard list of rules.

So I put this together as a question thread, where you can post your thoughts and they can be voted up and down by others. Reading the Community Guidelines is assumed, everyone is presented those when creating a new account. But what else should folks know?

EDIT: Hmm, can a question thread only have one solution to be voted on per poster?

I guess, as someone who has only been active here over the past several months, I've never gotten where the line regarding "identifiable" is. I've never seen someone call someone out by name. But I often see terms like "that thread", where the context is clear to anyone following the forum.

To make it clear, if one of the moderators, upon reading it, sees the direct reference, that is a problem.

The point is to allow some space to breathe on the general, common frustrations of life in the internet age, not for folks to badmouth specific targets where they might not get caught.

If the target does notice, and reports it, that thread may well be closed permanently. So pushing your luck is a good way to ruin things for a lot of people, and have them all mad at you.
