Re: [Inkscape-devel] rules and guidelines for new forum - first draft

Feedback:

 * There are admins, because django itself has admins. But they are the
website's admins, not specific to the forum. (so inherited admins)

 * Regular members information, complaints, and etiquette should appear
before moderator team information. Because more people will be regular
and this is the info they will need first.

 * The forum etiquette is similar to the "Ask Smart Questions" pages
for the chat.

 * There isn't anything about posting attachments, or videos, either
moderating them (i.e. family friendly only) or if there would be
limitations to posting content such as file formats (svg, png?, pdf?),
amount of space quota (currently 10MB for normal users) or if certain
forums will be moderated for different kinds of images/videos.

 * Should animated gifs be encouraged for people explaining a problem?
They can be really useful on the developer side.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
