- list item How do you get rep points?
People up vote a post that you make. The up and down arrows are the only things that give rep.
-
It's the asterisk that makes something a list item, the word "list item" is there to show you where to type
It is markdown from wikis. -
@technobabble said:
- list item (this one sounds funny in my head) is self promotion in the water closet allowed?
Do you mean promoting services? Or being like "I'm awesome!"

So a couple of questions I have:
- list item How to show you read a single forum...I read through them all first and then clicked I read them all
Once you read a thread it will disappear from the unread list until someone posts in it again.

@technobabble said:
- list item I still have unresolved questions at the other place (SW), can re-post them here?
Of course!

@technobabble said:
- list item Where is the proper place for reviews and rants?
No official spot for that. Maybe a reviews group would make sense? Rants would probably go best wherever they fit. General rant in the WC and technology rant in the IT section. Kind of a best judgement thing there. Having a group just for people to write up reviews wouldn't be a bad idea.

We are considering a "self promotion" group. A place for vendors (or any sort as long as they are IT.... from server makers to local repair shops) to gratuitously post about themselves. A place where there are no limits and you can be as self promoting as you want and no one can complain
If you are talking about a post where someone is looking for service and you are like "Hey, i do that, use me", that's fine. A thread just to say "I'm a cool service provider, use me" would be frowned on. A bit of a grey area and why a pure self promotion area would make sense, I think. Does that sound right to you?
A bit question around this is.... how can we allow this and add the value that people wanting to promote things want while not devaluing the conversation for others. We aren't trying to block anyone getting their name out there, just want to keep the conversation quality high too.

Sounds good. I was looking for where to post when a product or service I use worked out great. Also somewhere to show off a new website for a client!

Here we go, we now have a Self Promotion group. Go crazy and promote some stuff! This is for everyone wanting to just toot their own horn. Could be product announcements or whatever.
-
Cool, will have to post some stuff in there
I'm always happy to self promote some stuff. -
Woot woot!
