Error

I think you know this, but I’ll say it anyway.

I think much of this comes down to User eXperience design. I guess less than 5% of forum users will read this post in its entirety. It’s a good thing to discuss norms, but most people will behave in the way the space leads them to and mirror other people.

So my questions are:
- Getting downvoted sucks and it makes me not want to post and I’m pretty thick skinned. How can it suck less?
- The forum is intimidating because there isn’t fun chat—how can this be worked on?
- We want other people in EA to think we are clever, but posting imperfect posts can often make me feel dumb. How can people be encouraged that even a bad but written post is better than a perfect one that never gets published.

Thanks for all the work you do.

Love the addition of the emojis

I am new here and looking forward to my first class on Thursday. I am a little bit confused and overwhelemd as it seems so many pages and links and resources and I am struggling to get my head around all of them. Any pointers would help. thank you. Looking forward to an exciting 8 weeks ahead.
