4. Content Standards

These standards apply to all content shared within our community, including posts, comments, guides, tutorials, artwork, videos, and streams.

Strive for accuracy in the information you share. If you're not certain about something, make that clear. If you discover you've shared incorrect information, correct it promptly.
