Language Guidelines
We ask that you think carefully about the
language used on Showcase Central. It is important for the continued enjoyment
of the website that all members show appropriate respect through their use of
language.
- Focus on a single message when writing
- Consider your target audience and use language appropriate to
that target
- Ensure that the facts and the information you post is accurate
- Post content that is on topic and appropriate to the section or
showcase
- Take appropriate time to write and then review your content
- Use capital letters, numbers and lower case letters
appropriately
- No inflammatory, obscene, discriminatory, abusive or
threatening language will be tolerated
In recognition of the fact that many
members will be creating and viewing showcases and posting comments in
languages that are not their native tongue we ask that the following be
observed:
- Do not use texting or chat abbreviations
- Avoid cuss words or other slang
- Minimize the use of emoticons
- Do not comment on grammar and spelling except where
such comments are a request for clarification
