'new-topic': |
Welcome to %{site_name} &mdash; **thanks for starting a new conversation!**
- Does the title accurately describe your topic? Does it sound interesting?
- What is this about? Who would be interested in it? Why does it matter? What kind of responses are you hoping for from the community?
- Include good search words in your topic so others can *find* it. To group your topic with related topics, select a category.
For more, [see our community guidelines](/guidelines). This panel will only appear for your first %{education_posts_text}.
'new-reply': |
Welcome to %{site_name} &mdash; **thanks for contributing!**
- Does your reply improve the conversation in some way?
- Be kind to your fellow community members.
- Constructive criticism is welcome, but criticize *ideas*, not people.
For more, [see our community guidelines](/guidelines). This panel will only appear for your first %{education_posts_text}.
avatar: |
### How about a new picture for your account?
You've posted a few topics and replies, but your avatar isn't as unique as you are -- it's the same default avatar all new users have.
Have you considered **[visiting your user profile](%{profile_path})** and uploading a custom image that represents you?
It's easier to follow community discussions and find interesting people in conversations when everyone has a unique avatar!
sequential_replies: |
### Consider replying to several posts at once
Rather than many sequential replies to a topic, please consider a single reply that includes quotes or @name references to previous posts.
You can edit your previous reply to add a quote by highlighting text and selecting the <b>quote reply</b> button that appears.
It's easier for everyone to read topics that have fewer in-depth replies versus lots of small, individual replies.
dominating_topic: |
### Let others join the conversation
This topic is clearly important to you &ndash; you've posted more than %{percent}% of the replies here.
Are you sure you're providing adequate time for other people to share their points of view, too?
too_many_replies: |
### You have reached the reply limit for this topic
We're sorry, but new users are temporarily limited to %{newuser_max_replies_per_topic} replies in the same topic.
Instead of adding another reply, please consider editing your previous replies, or visiting other topics.
reviving_old_topic: |
### Revive this topic?
The last reply to this topic is now over %{days} days old. Your reply will bump the topic to the top of its list and notify anyone previously involved in the conversation.
Are you sure you want to continue this old conversation?

text_body_template: |
This is a test email sent from your %{site_name} forum at:
[**%{base_url}**][0]
Email deliverability is complicated. Here are a few important things you should check first:
- Be *sure* to set the `notification email` from: address correctly in your site settings. **The domain specified in the "from" address of the emails you send is the domain your email will be validated against**.
- Know how to view the *raw source of the email* in your mail client, so you can examine email headers for important clues. in Gmail, it is the "show original" option in the drop-down menu at the top right of each mail.
- **IMPORTANT:** Does your ISP have a reverse DNS record entered to associate the domain names and IP addresses you send mail from? [Test your Reverse PTR record][2] here. If your ISP does not enter the proper reverse DNS pointer record, it's very unlikely any of your email will be delivered.
- Is your domain's [SPF record][8] correct? [Test your SPF record][1] here. Note that TXT is the correct official record type for SPF.
- Is your domain's [DKIM record][3] correct? This will significantly improve email deliverability. [Test your DKIM record][7] here.
- If you run your own mail server, check to make sure the IPs of your mail server are [not on any email blacklists][4].
- If you run your own mail server, verify that it is *definitely* sending a fully-qualified hostname that resolves in DNS in its HELO message. If not, this will cause your email to be rejected by many mail services.
(The *easy* way is to [sign up for Mandrill][6], which has a generous free mailing plan and will be fine for small forums. You'll still need to set up the SPF and DKIM records in your DNS, though!)
We hope you received this email deliverability test OK!
Good luck,

Hello,
This is an automated message from %{site_name} to inform you that your post ...
%{base_url}%{url}
... was hidden due to community flagging.
%{flag_reason}
Multiple community members flagged this post before it was hidden, so please consider how you might revise your post to reflect their feedback. **You can edit your post after %{edit_delay} minutes, and it will be automatically unhidden.** This will increase your trust level.
However, if the post is hidden by the community a second time, the moderators will be notified and there may be further action, including the possible suspension of your account.
For additional guidance, please refer to our [community guidelines](%{base_url}/guidelines).
usage_tips:
text_body_template: |
This private message has a few quick tips to get you started:
## Keep scrolling
There are no next page buttons or page numbers to read more, **just keep scrolling down!**

<img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/progress-bar.png" width="190" height="52">
- The topic title will always take you to your last read post. Use times as entry shortcuts. Enter at the top via the first post date, and the bottom via the last post date.
## How do I reply?
- To reply to the overall topic, use the Reply button <img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/reply-topic.png" width="29" height="25"> at the very bottom of the page.
- To reply to a specific post, use the Reply button <img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/reply-post.png" width="29" height="25"> on that post.
- To take the conversation in a different direction, but keep them linked together, use Reply as New Topic <img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/reply-as-new-topic.png" width="33" height="25"> to the right of the post.
To quote someone in your reply, select the text you wish to quote, then press any Reply button.
<img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/quote-reply.png" width="467" height="172">
(To quote an entire post, use the Import Quote button on the editor toolbar.)
To mention someone's name in your reply, start typing `@` and an autocompleter will pop up.
<img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/username-completion.png" width="307" height="174">
## What else can I do?
<img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/like-link-flag-bookmark.png" width="225" height="61">
To let someone know that you enjoyed their post, use the **like** button at the bottom of the post. If you see a problem with a post, don't hesitate to use the **flag** button and privately let them, or our staff, know about it.
You can also share a link to a post, or bookmark a post for later reference on your user page.
## Who is talking to me?
When someone replies to your post, quotes your post, or mentions your `@username`, a number will appear over a conversation button at the top right of the page. Use it see who's talking to you, and where.
<img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/notification-panel.png" width="237" height="78">
You will get email notifications of direct replies (and private messages) if you are not present on the site when they arrive.
## When are conversations new?
By default all conversations less than two days old are considered new, and any conversation you've participated in will automatically be tracked.
You will see the blue new and number indicators next to these topics:
<img src="http://www.discourse.org/images/welcome/topics-new-unread.png" width="490" height="119">
You can change the individual notification state of a topic via the control at the bottom of the topic (this can also be set per category). To change how you track topics, or the definition of new, see [your user preferences](/my/preferences).
## Why can't I do certain things?
New users are somewhat limited for safety reasons. As you participate here, you'll gain the trust of the community, become a full citizen, and those limitations will automatically be removed. At a high enough [trust level](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-do-user-trust-levels-do/4924), you'll gain even more abilities to help us manage our community together.

## [This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion](#civilized)
Please treat this discussion forum with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource &mdash; a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.
These are not hard and fast rules, merely aids to the human judgment of our community. Use these guidelines to keep this a clean, well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.
<a name="improve"></a>
## [Improve the Discussion](#improve)
Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.
The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.
One way to improve the discussion is by discovering ones that are already happening. Please spend some time browsing the topics here before replying or starting your own, and youll have a better chance of meeting others who share your interests.
<a name="agreeable"></a>
## [Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree](#agreeable)
You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. Thats fine. But, remember to _criticize ideas, not people_. Please avoid:
* Name-calling.
* Ad hominem attacks.
* Responding to a posts tone instead of its actual content.
* Knee-jerk contradiction.
Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
<a name="participate"></a>
## [Your Participation Counts](#participate)
The conversations we have here set the tone for everyone. Help us influence the future of this community by choosing to engage in discussions that make this forum an interesting place to be &mdash; and avoiding those that do not.
Discourse provides tools that enable the community to collectively identify the best (and worst) contributions: favorites, bookmarks, likes, flags, replies, edits, and so forth. Use these tools to improve your own experience, and everyone elses, too.
Lets try to leave our park better than we found it.
<a name="flag-problems"></a>
## [If You See a Problem, Flag It](#flag-problems)
Moderators have special authority; they are responsible for this forum. But so are you. With your help, moderators can be community facilitators, not just janitors or police.
When you see bad behavior, dont reply. It encourages the bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyones time. _Just flag it_. If enough flags accrue, action will be taken, either automatically or by moderator intervention.
In order to maintain our community, moderators reserve the right to remove any content and any user account for any reason at any time. Moderators do not preview new posts in any way; the moderators and site operators take no responsibility for any content posted by the community.
<a name="be-civil"></a>
## [Always Be Civil](#be-civil)
Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:
* Be civil. Dont post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech.
* Keep it clean. Dont post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
* Respect each other. Dont harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information.
* Respect our forum. Dont post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum.
These are not concrete terms with precise definitions &mdash; avoid even the _appearance_ of any of these things. If youre unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on the front page of the New York Times.
This is a public forum, and search engines index these discussions. Keep the language, links, and images safe for family and friends.
<a name="keep-tidy"></a>
## [Keep It Tidy](#keep-tidy)
Make the effort to put things in the right place, so that we can spend more time discussing and less cleaning up. So:
* Dont start a topic in the wrong category.
* Dont cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
* Dont post no-content replies.
* Dont divert a topic by changing it midstream.
* Dont sign your posts &mdash; every post has your profile information attached to it.
Rather than posting “+1” or “Agreed”, use the Like button. Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a New Topic.
<a name="stealing"></a>
## [Post Only Your Own Stuff](#stealing)
You may not post anything digital that belongs to someone else without permission. You may not post descriptions of, links to, or methods for stealing someones intellectual property (software, video, audio, images), or for breaking any other law.
<a name="tos"></a>
