1. Lead with kindness
The andacod Forum is a space for all andacod users (students, teachers and professionals) to contribute ideas and get support from the community. No conversation should include hateful messages targeted at a person or group based on their race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or learning proficiency.
To keep conversations productive and supportive:
- Ask clarifying questions
- Request more information you need to provide a complete recommendation
- Focus on actions, steps, and processes
- Refer to informative pages on this website
- Lead with a helpful and encouraging mindset
- Do not @ mention users who are not actively participating in the conversation or the forum
- Remember, we’re all students of design no matter what stage our careers are at - so be kind
Moderators reserve the right to close posts and suspend users at any time if these guidelines aren't followed. Please help us keep the andacod Forum a productive and positive space by reporting any posts that violate these rules.
2. Stay on topic
The primary goal of this forum is to encourage users and provide you with content that’s educational, inspirational, and relevant. We reserve the right to remove off-topic comments or sub-conversations, edit a post’s title or content, or move a post to a more relevant category in the forum.
To keep conversations streamlined and productive:
- Search the forum for related posts before creating a new post
- Start posts in the proper category
- Post the question only once
- Let the topic resolve and finish
- Start a new post when a different topic arises or the topic changes from the original post title
When starting a post, provide clarity and context by including key information such as:
- A detailed description of the question or problem
- An example of work
- A sketch or photo
- Your desired outcome
