Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

It would be pretty interesting if voting was broken down by these regions. It would probably be a lot more culturally representative.

I don't think New England is a useful category anymore, since modern-day Maine doesn't have more in common with the Boston area than it does with upstate New York. I'd extend what they're calling the "NYC Metro" area from Boston in the north to Philadelphia (or maybe even D.C.) in the south as a sort of east coast mega-city.

This might belong in no stupid questions but, what is the significance of Columbia? There seems to be no geographical consistency, it seems to be used accross several countries and languages. What's the deal? Lol

Ohio River Valley actually extends to the WV border on the SE side (technically into it, but only like 1mi)

We should take this list and divide it into government districts. There are a lot of unhappy people and a lot of parts of states, conservatives in states where liberal centers control politics, and vice versa. This map corrects a lot of those areas of people with similar beliefs could be divided into similar districts.
