Hello! Long time reader here, interested in taking a more active role in the quest.
Welcome!
I've never voted for anything on SV before and am not entirely sure how the whole process works.
When you want to vote for a plan, you can do this: [X] Plan title / [x] Plan title
Copying and pasting the original plan poster's version of this works as well. When you write your own plan, you do [X] Plan title
Then press enter. You have to create a new line both to vote for someone else and to end the sentence voters will type in to vote for you. You can also vote for a specific person's votes by typing [X] Username / [X] @Username . For example [X] _The_Bomb
The space after the bracket is required in all cases. Removing the X from the vote with an edit will un-vote for a plan. Editing a vote
in doesn't actually count it, I believe, so you need to make a new comment when you vote.
I also don't really know the etiquete for the site or this thread in particular
In addition to general internet politeness, do not joke or imply anything about underage sexual content.
What should I be aware of? What, besides the Rules doc, should I look at before I get started?
Technically you don't even have to do this. I've been here around a year now and am still only just grasping many of the mechanics. There's plenty of people who will pick up the slack for you
. That said, clicking all the links on the welcome post for the quest is pretty informative if you do care about that stuff.
Is it ok to ask the QMs questions like this directly or should I ask them to the general thread first?
I would recommend asking the thread first in case it's something that's been answered, but there's a lot of things that simply have to be answered by the QMs. Just try not to overload them with questions if you can help it, and prioritize the pressing ones
Also, we have a discord where you can get more immediate replies, link is in faflec's signature
