Norgdom

When I started the Norg I had some idea of the sorts of stories I’d like to see on the site, but I’ve always taken a fairly casual approach to letting them be known, or be incorporated as “rules” on the site. My thinking was that the site should evolve around the community, not me.
But overtime, some conventions have been formed that we probably need to make new users aware of, to help them find their feet and also as a mark of respect for existing users.
So prompted by this post and Tama’s suggestion, let’s flesh out what you the community see as norgworthy stories. This is in no way singling out Durk, who has jumped in feet first - awesome stuff and welcome.

For my part, I like reading about first-hand experiences, tips and reviews and the odd things we notice around the place that aren’t picked up by traditional news sites, but are funny and relevant to a local community.
I guess if a piece is a personal reflection, of which the outcomes have no impact on the wider community then it probably belongs on a blog. If it is a personal piece or op-ed for a better word that has implications for others in the community then I’d say it’s norgworthy. It’s a hard line, because it really comes down to the subject. One of the most powerful pieces I’ve read was a couple sharing the story of raising a Down Syndrome child.
Remember though, that voting down is not a personal attack, it is just someone exercising their editorial control.
And on a final note, I like questions - when you have seen something and want to find out what happened - I think Norg is a great place to ask.
But that’s only me
So add your thoughts people …
