This is a wiki page to pull together guidance on using the forum:
Categories:
The main way we structure the forum is through categories
Public access
- News and annoucements - For general news and annoucements members of this forum may be interested. Use common sense and flag any spam you find.
- Jobs and P6 - Post jobs, tenders, requests to work with others etc
- Questions - Questions about worker co-ops
Member only
- Member Discussion - For posts only for members, say you want to consult, share info, organise etc
- Working groups - Each of our working groups have their own sub-group within General
- Peer networks - Opportunity to network with others in similar locations, with similar co-ops, roles, or interests.
Tags
We currently operate freeform tagging, so use your commons sense but some obvious ones:
- event - To post about events
- meta - post specifically about this forum and how it works.
Some tags are only useable by worker members
- important - for priority posts you need to bring to peoples attention
- consultation - a request for feedback or consultation from workers.coop try to limit these tags to General Group so only members can respond
