Great post, it's a little long but worth a full read by anyone who finds it. A little commentary:
The single most important implication nobody is going to rub under your nose (since it is so self-evident) is this: all you do and say will always be visible to everyone.
Except private messages which only metadata will be available for (who sent something to who and when, but not the what).
Don't vote too much (~20 votes a day are okay), or your voting power will be "diluted".
Upvote 20 posts or comments at most, or you will dilute your voting power.
You can vote more than that, but yes, a lot of sustained voting will dilute your voting power and you might have to take a break to let it charge up.
You can submit your post to up to 4 categories.
Should be 5.
I'll be following you :)
Thank you for the corrections, @pfunk! Found a few typos too. I am just too afraid to edit the corrections in now. :o
I also missed that in the markdown formatting you didn't include using
#
##
etc for headersYou can use up to 6 with varying results
five
four
####### Not seven though
You can also center text and images with
<center>
and make smaller text with<sup>
You should be fine with edits. If you read the post yesterday about edits counting towards the daily post count it was incorrect. You can always just collate the edits you want to make, maybe using stackedit.io, and make the change all at once.
I, in turn, missed the function when I tried (and I tried often, because I don't like using the
===
method at all)! Glad to see it works now (or maybe I just left out the space after the #?).On a side note, there is other wizardry which does not work as on reddit. For example, this would cause an indention of apple, orange, carrot and tomato:
- Fruit - apple - orange - Vegetable - carrot - tomato
I could do some fancy stuff with this. It does not seem to be official markdown syntax, but I think it's a useful feature nonetheless.
Also, I miss
~~strikethrough~~
and^(this is a <sup>)
very much. And while we're at it, I am very much in favor for a function too for mathematical discussions :)Again, thank you, I will update ASAP.
