Draft Amnesty Week (2025)

TagLast edit: Feb 10, 2025, 9:20 AM by Toby Tremlett🔹

This year’s Draft Amnesty Week will run from February 24th to March 2nd. Draft Amnesty is an event where Forum users can post scrappy, draft-y, or incomplete posts with impunity.

How to format your Draft Amnesty post

Draft Amnesty posts will differentiated on the Forum Frontpage (with a “draft amnesty week” tag visible), as long as they are tagged with this tag.

You can include this table at the start of your post:

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)
