It's meant as a place for Englishtips users to get to a greater degree of interacting with each other - by actually helping!
This is a place where you can ask questions. And get answers - from our community, from the real people living in all parts of the world.
You, yourself, can also be a part of it.
1) Use one of our 'official' languages (English, Polish, Russian),
2) Choose the category for your question carefully,
3) If you think that someone's answer is in any way abusive, you can report it to be deleted, there's a special button for it. If you think that someone's answer is better than others, we encourage you to vote for it by pressing 'VOTE AS BEST' button, so that it goes up in the list of answers.
4) There is a points system (
we're still on it, so don't get scared by the weird amount of points you've got just yet ): asking a question earns you 1 point, answering - 5 points, voting on a best answer - 1 point, if someone votes your answer as best, this will earn you 1 point, too. We'll be using these points later in the karma system, that will affect your overall Englishtips presence, so having a lot of them is a good thing :) You can check the points you have in your profile. You can also see all your questions and answers there.
5) Once you have submitted a question or an answer, you cannot edit or delete it, so think carefully about the way you put it.
6) Each question is limited to 110 characters only, so keep'em short and to the point! If you need, you can explain your question in more detail in the 'Add detail' optional window (1000 more characters).
7)You can also bookmark the questions you like to get back to them later.
At the moment we have got over a dozen categories - obviously not all of them are needed there. Thus, each week I'll be deleting one or more categories that have not generated many questions and answers.
