How to write useful updates

When reporting on a product, remember that your identity is masked, so don't be personal about it. Be concise. Report facts, not experiences. Write a technical report, not a product review.

Use the prompt page. Then check what the LLM tells you against your own experience.

It's seldom a bad idea to emulate the style of existing entries.

Don't shill or flame. If you write an update like a marketing rep, or a zealous fanboy, or a zealous hater, the administrators will drop your update in the bitbucket before anyone else sees it.

The site administrators are too busy to play games with people pushing to find out what they can get away with. If you fail to do right often enough, you will be banned without warning or appeal.

Spam, offsite links to off-topic content (including ads), or abusive language in comments are grounds for instant banning. Chronic typos are grounds for less-instant banning. So is anything else that wastes an administrator's time.

Doing anything that makes us add to these rules is grounds for instant banning.
