Guidelines for 'Sharing your opinon'
What are the guidelines to commenting?
Although we wish to step back and let the community exist on its own, we do have a few simple rules to posting comments. These rules are not to limit you, but rather to make sure no one gets offended and to avoid fighting. So when commenting please keep in mind:
* Make sure your comment is relevant to the topic. Discussion not pertaining to the subject will be deleted.
* Make sure to be polite. This does not mean you cannot provide negative feedback to a topic, just make sure that you are not rude or offensive about it.
* Be specific. Rather than just saying ?I like this aspect,? go more in-depth. Give reasons as to why you like that aspect. This helps designers and anyone else reading your comments.
