Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Gather round kids, and let's all hear once more the thrilling story of launching the iPad as told by visionary storymans Steve Jobs. Truly a tale on par with Lord of the Rings or Dune.

Then we'll have an exciting lecture on jumping straight into the action with technology advocate Chris Nolan, as demonstrated in the middle film of his Batman trilogy. It's hard to believe Nolan was able to tell such a thrilling epic with no fat at all, neatly trimmed to fit at just under 8 hours, and yet somehow still getting across the story of formally unknown hero Batman.

If my sarcasm isn't obvious, I think this is a bad list of ideas, that serves more to glorify the alleged genius of its examples than to actually teach good storytelling.
