Community guidelines — the short version

FO ForenFix vor 3 Monaten

We keep things simple. Three principles:

Be respectful. Disagree with ideas, not with people.
Be helpful. If someone asks a question, try to answer it or point them somewhere useful.
Stay on topic. Each space has a purpose. Use the Off-Topic Lounge for everything else.

Moderators keep conversations productive. If you see something that does not belong, use the flag button.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

DA David Kim vor 2 Monaten

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

LE Lena Fischer vor 2 Monaten

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

MA Marco Silva vor 2 Monaten

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

OM Omar Haddad vor 2 Monaten

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

AL Alice Chen vor 2 Monaten

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

OM Omar Haddad vor 3 Monaten

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

MA Maya Okafor vor 3 Monaten

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.
