Posting guidelines

We need to agree on a set of posting guidelines for this site.

I've not had time yet to write a draft set of guidelines, so it would be particularly helpful to hear what people think should be included.

What should we ask people to connsider (or even comply with) when posting information to the App Directory or submitting guides?

Can we determine some basic guidelines that will  make it easier for both those contributing to the site and those browsing it for information?

basically...

Basically, nothing hateful, demeaning, offensive (including strong or offensive language), off-topic, rude, or personal. Essentially, act as though you are speaking in front of a classroom or business meeting. Oh, and good spelling and use of punctuation is very, very appreciated by those using screen readers. Personally, if I cannot understand a post when JAWS speaks it, I will not read it. Just my two cents...

Good grammar, punctuation and spelling are essential.

I would like to see the posting guidelines strongly urge anyone writing content for this site to practice good use of grammar, punctuation and spelling. As an editor on this site, I have already done my best to clean up a number of posts.

"It's very accessible" isn't good enough.

Let's also urge writers to say something more than "it's very accessible" or "it works very well." Provide details backing up these assertions.
