What happened to all the Treehouse tutorials on how to use their software and community etiquette???

Like I'm finding it rare to see the tutorial that accompanies most lessons on How to Ask a Question

How about these threads:

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/how-to-ask-good-questions-on-the-forum

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/posting-code-to-the-forum

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/howto-guide-markdown-within-posts

But I read a while ago the "tips" link wasn't working:

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/tips-for-asking-questions-in-forum-link-not-working

I agree though that TeamTreehouse needs a good forum etiquette thread!

It should be a "sticky" (an admin notice thread that sticks to the top of the forum).

I posted this thread that had that suggestion (among many others that were shot down):

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/some-questions-about-treehouse-including-internals-and-a-few-suggestions

It was only later that I found this thread:

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/a-sticky-thread-to-help-forum-users

I also belong to the xvbt programmer forum.

Here is the relevant FAQ and "Hot to Participate Effectively" stick thread from that forum:

http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/faq.php?faq=evbf_faq

http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/tutors-corner/150438-participate-effectively.html

The second thread would be an EXTREMELY valuable thread to look through to

develop the same sort of thread for the TeamTreehouse forum with topics like:

  • Introduction
  • Research the answers you are given
  • Don't ask for help with code that could be used Maliciously
  • Software piracy is illegal and unethical
  • There is no such thing as a stupid question
  • Good communication is important (no l33t speak)
  • If you don't know the answer, don't post
  • Let the Moderators do the Moderating
  • Forum should come last
  • Think about the subject line
  • Encourage public posts - share the knowledge!
  • No Shotguns Allowed!
  • Why we don't do your homework

Here would be my #1 candidate for a stickie thread, though: :thumbsup:
