Before 2 days expire, the author(s) need(s ) to signal to other affiliates the publication and invite everyone to review (see validation section for more details).

If no one raises a red flag about the post, it can stay published.

Common sense rules

Respect your audience -- anyone exposed to Sensorica
Diversity of ideas, thoughts and topics are encouraged
The content needs to have a conclusion (this blog is not a discussion forum - post complete ideas or mostly complete ideas)
The blog is not a a messaging platform, we favor quality over quantity
Avoid long rants, keep it short and simple. If possible, summarize and then provide references. Less is more but keep it as long as it needs to be and use the appropriate medium! And yes, you can modify it later (See the process).

Validation or validating the rules

"Validation" does not mean that you agree with the content. Validation simply means that the post is worth reading (it is blog worthy, valuable and follows the blog's rules). Validation is also a mechanism to protect against inappropriate content and spam.

Changing the rules

Propose new rules or propose a change to an existing rule directly as a comment or contact a Sensorica affiliates to provide the proposition on your behalf.
Any proposition would be processed as per the governance at Sensorica
