To keep things helpful and easy to follow, please keep a few simple principles in mind:
Be Respectful (and Practice Kōkua)
Kōkua is the Hawaiian spirit of helping with generosity and respect. Share what you know, ask questions kindly, and assume good intent. You don’t have to agree with everyone, but always keep it civil. Focus on ideas, not individuals. If you wouldn’t say it over the air, don’t say it here.
Stay on Topic
Let’s keep the signal-to-noise ratio high.
- Have a new question or idea? Start a new thread.
- Found an existing topic? Jump in and add to it.
- Please don’t hijack threads with unrelated stuff. It makes things harder to follow for everyone.
Keep It Tidy
Help others find what they’re looking for:
- Use clear titles and helpful tags.
- Don’t post the same thing in multiple places.
- Short replies like “+1” or “same here”? Just hit the Like button instead.
- It’s totally fine to post quick messages, just make them meaningful.
See Something Off? Flag It.
If you spot something off-topic or inappropriate, give it a quick flag. It helps keep the forum welcoming and useful for all.
