Categories and rules
Use Categories to create, edit, reorder, and remove discussion categories. Give each category one purpose, choose who may post, and select the intended sort method.
Before deleting a category, decide where existing posts should live and confirm whether the action is reversible. Use Rules → New for short, enforceable guidelines. Put safety, eligibility, promotion, and reporting rules first; avoid vague rules that cannot be applied consistently.
Tabs, sounds, levels, and dashboard
- Tabs controls member navigation. Keep labels short and do not hide the only path to required work.
- Sounds controls community sound defaults. Members may still have personal preferences.
- Gamification / Levels defines level names, point thresholds, and rewards where enabled.
- Dashboard controls available dashboard-oriented settings and default emphasis.
Keep thresholds strictly increasing and review how a change affects existing members. Never promise a benefit that is not actually granted by the level.
Verify the member experience
Preview the community at narrow mobile, tablet, and desktop widths after changing tabs. Test a new member and an established member. Check keyboard focus, selected-tab state, empty categories, rule visibility, reduced motion, and sound-off behavior. Do not use color, sound, points, or streaks as the only way to communicate status or eligibility.
