Welcome!

We genuinely and with utmost sincerity try to do well.  What we achieve, however, may not, sometimes, be good enough.  We are not daunted by this.  We want to do better each day; we want to improve; we want to correct what we're not doing well; we want to learn new ways of doing things, we want to become as good as we can get.

We also know there are may things we are doing well; many things we are doing right; many things we have learnt and perfected over time; and others that we are still working at to perfect.

This is the stuff we hope to engage about here.

Before you raise an issue, ask a question, or begin a discussion, however, - please make sure to search for a similar question or discussion. You can search these by their title or tags.  It’s also okay to answer your own question, and it is, obviously, also expected you will participate in discussions that you start, without necessarily taking a leadership or moderator role.

Please avoid asking questions or raising discussions that are not relevant to this community.

Try to give feedback sincerely, in good faith, and with a view to making us better at what we do.  

To prevent your input from being flagged and possibly removed, avoid asking questions, or giving feedback and proposals that are uniquely subjective, emotive, or otherwise offensive.  If there are details you would like to discuss to further, and in more specific detail, please contact us or set up a meeting with the Managing Director.  We will certainly get in touch with you.

As much as possible, your contribution should not comment on other peoples' answers. Instead, add your own comment or answer to the on-going discussion.

If you wish to include a link to external content, don't just paste the link.  Instead, give context and overview to what the link is about even if it's just a copy/paste.  Links are welcome, but should be complementary to answers, comments and discussions; they should be references for further or additional reading.

When a question, answer or other comment is upvoted, the user who posted them will gain some points, which are called "karma points". These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust to him/her. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to users based on those points.

For example, if you ask an interesting question or give a helpful answer, your input will be upvoted. On the other hand if the answer is misleading - it will be downvoted. Each vote in favor will generate 10 points, each vote against will subtract 10 points. There is a limit of 200 points that can be accumulated for a question or answer per day. The table given at the end explains reputation point requirements for each type of moderation task.

Not just anyone can do this.  The goal of forum is create relevant knowledge perspectives around what is important for all of us.

Questions and answers can, therefore, be edited like wiki pages by experienced users of this forum in order to improve the overall quality of the forum's content.  Such privileges are granted based on user karma level: you will be able to do the same once your karma gets high enough.
