Draft Amnesty Week (2024)

TagLast edit: Jan 27, 2025, 11:49 AM by Toby Tremlett🔹

Draft Amnesty Week was an event which ran on the EA Forum between March 11th and 17th 2024, where Forum users published scrappy, draft-y, or incomplete posts with impunity.

This tag was used on Draft posts published during the week, as well as posts related to the event.

How to format your Draft Amnesty post

Draft Amnesty posts were be differentiated on the Forum Frontpage, as long as they are tagged with this tag. Some posts included this table:

This is a Draft Amnesty Week draft. It may not be polished, up to my usual standards, fully thought through, or fully fact-checked.

Commenting and feedback guidelines:
Keep one and delete the rest (or write your own):

I’m posting this to get it out there. I’d love to see comments that take the ideas forward, but criticism of my argument won’t be as useful at this time.
This draft lacks the polish of a full post, but the content is almost there. The kind of constructive feedback you would normally put on a Forum post is very welcome.
This is a Forum post that I wouldn’t have posted without the nudge of Draft Amnesty Week. Fire away! (But be nice, as usual)
