Rule summary

  • Be nice: Keep discussions respectful and professional.
  • No blog spam: Share knowledge directly instead of dropping a blog link.
  • Use the right thread for careers: Career advice, interviews, and certification questions belong in dedicated threads or resources.
  • Avoid advertising and promotion: The community prefers techniques, analysis, and implementation help over tool promotion.

Works well

  • Measurement questions with data source, tool, metric definition, and business goal.
  • Analytics implementation tradeoffs across GA4, dashboards, attribution, reporting, and data quality.
  • Specific SQL, tracking, dashboard, or interpretation problems with enough context.
  • Advice that teaches a technique instead of selling an analytics product.

Avoid

  • Blog links or tutorials posted without the answer written in the thread.
  • Tool promotion, vendor comparisons framed as lead generation, or hidden affiliate advice.
  • Generic career questions that belong in the stickied thread.
  • Vague requests for analytics strategy with no data context.
