Cooperation & Coordinationâthis seems more high-level or strategic like donor coordination. But Iâm quite uncertainâit could be include disucsion norms. I think thereâs probably value for a separate tag though, because this is the kind of thing group organisers would find useful and could be quickly shared with people.
Communityâapplies but is too broad, so doesnât help identify these posts
A tag for Discussion Norms seems useful and distinct from the other tags you mention. It also wouldnât have to only be about discussion norms for intra-EA interactionsâit could also be about discussion norms in other contexts.
âCommunity Normsâ and âPosts that discuss norms on how EAs to interact with each otherâ feel very broad to me, and itâs harder for me to see precisely what thatâs trying to point at that isnât captured by one of the first three other tags you mention.
But I have a feeling that something like Community Norms/âDiscussion Norms could have a clear scope thatâs useful and distinct from the other tags. Maybe if you just try flesh out what you mean a little more in the description itâd be clear to me?
Maybe what you have in mind will often relate to things like being welcoming, supportive, and considerate? If so, maybe adjusting the tag label or description in light of that could help?
Discussion Norms: Posts about suggested or encouraged norms within the EA community on how to interact with other EAs, which may often relate to being supportive, welcoming and considerate.
Itâs still not great, if you had any feedback Iâd be keen to hear it!
Update: Iâve created the tag âDiscussion Normsâ
Community Norms/âDiscussion Norms
Very Bad Description: Posts that discuss norms on how EAs to interact with each other.

Movement Strategyâalso too broad
Diversity & Inclusionâtoo narrowânot all community norms are about D&I
EA Messagingâtoo narrowâsometimes relevant when disucssing how you might talk to non-EAs in an EA setting (e.g. a newcomer at an event)
My quick, personal take is that:

I think Discussion Norms makes sense!
