Concise Guide to Permies' Publishing Standards which is WELL worth reading in whole.
Politics, religion, marijuana, GMOs, pesticides (and other toxic gick), justice, climate change, and other hot button subjects. Sometimes, things like
politics and spirituality are relevant to various aspects of
permaculture. Or maybe someone wants to ask a question about their neighbor's use of herbicides. The problem is that people tend to have strong opinions on these topics. The discussion easily becomes divisive and argumentative, and people get defensive and sometimes hostile. Plus, controversial topics attract trolls. The Permies solution for this is
Cider Press.
Cider Press. The Cider Press is a restricted category of forums for Permies members who understand our publishing standards and know how to
be nice. The requirements to post in Cider Press is to have apples and PIE (You can learn more about apples
here, and about PIE
here.)
The same publishing standards apply to Cider Press, with the added feature that staff can award
apple cores.
Apple cores means you lose apples! You can read more about apple cores and how to avoid them
