GUIDELINE ON POSTING 

​

1. The channels in the Forum were set up for meaningful and easy-to-follow discussion. Hence, choose the most appropriate channel or discussion thread to post. 

 

2. Before posting your question or responding to any, check if anyone has posted the same earlier, by reading all the postings under that thread; 

 

3. Contribute meaningfully by staying on the topic and do not dominate the discussion or clutter the thread with non-productive responses like ‘Me too’ or ‘Oh I see’.

 

4. Check if your post is concise, easy to understand, and courteous. Use of ALL CAPS is considered impolite. 

 

5. Focus your discussion on the subject and not the person. Avoid making fun of others as joking at the expense of others is considered bad taste. 

 

6. It is perfectly all right to disagree with others as long as you do it respectfully. 

 

7. If you have nothing to say or add value to the discussion, don’t post. 

 

8. Lastly, read through your posting one more time before you press the button to post.
