Re: Refrain from the negatives
As was pointed out at the web-hug, the members and frequent "posters" of CD are the "voice of the FIRST community". The "powers-that-be" in FIRST read these posts and, if there are legitimate issues or concerns regarding how FIRST is conducting its business, they will respond. The way in which criticisms are raised is important, though. If a "poster" attacks an individual or team rather than a process or action, that's not constructive. Also, remember that it is very easy to point out problems, offering potential solutions is much more valuable.
Before you post about something you're not happy about, take some time to think about how others will react to your post. Take a little more time to offer a "fix" to the problem. Your post will then reflect your desire to make the FIRST experience better for everyone - rather than just being viewed as a rant or whining.
