Etiquette for Posting to Forums
- If you like a post, it’s better to “like” it with the
rather than commenting. It saves traffic in the Forums and makes it easier for everyone to find posts. - Please be mindful of looking to see if a topic exists before starting a new thread.
- Do a quick search of the forums to see if your question is already under discussion.
- Do not @ people if you are not referencing them for a specific reason that requires the attention of that forum member. Be specially mindful in mentioning Jeremy and Rachel.
- Regional Study Group discussions should be posted in the relevant category related to timezones.

Policies
- Video links: videos should not be shared until the MOOC is officially released in early 2019
- Blog Posts: Blog posts are welcome and recommended, but they mustn’t include the video until after the MOOC is released next year. Therefore, the blog posts need to stand alone and be useful without the video.
Local categories
Therefore, I’ve created 11 (approximate) local categories for fast.ai students. Obviously I can’t list every time zone and country - the idea is that you can decide which of those groups seems closest to a group of people that are likely to be up and chatting at a similar time to you, and that you are most likely to share a language and cultural understanding with. Feel free to join other groups too of course! 
To remove region-specific posts from the main category, simply choose ‘none’ in the subcategory list on the topic list page.
