Step 1.
Find your content.
When searching for content online to share with the Discussion Club, it is best to look for the most reputable sources that you can. Well known news outlets, and informational organizations, are perfect for finding reliable content to post and discuss. If you have any questions about the reliability or legitimacy of a piece of information that you find online, please contact a moderator. You can refer to the "Recommended Sources" tab, to find a large selection of reliable sources for information.

Step 2.
Write an "Ice Breaker"
Before being posted in the Discussion Floor, you should have a question, statement, a combination of the two, and an idea to go along with your content. The purpose of the question or statement, is to "get the ball rolling", "break the ice", or otherwise, to start conversation with an opinion or idea about the content that has been posted.

Step 3.
Follow the templates.
After you have your content, and your ice breaker, you may post your topic for discussion. Be sure to choose the correct subcategory for posting, if you have any questions on which category you should post in, please ask a moderator. The subcategories available for posting are; Current, Historical, or Ask Anything. In each subcategory, there is a template that you must follow when posting your content for discussion.
All members are trusted to post their own content, however, any content that is placed in the incorrect forum subcategory, or does not abide by the "Rules of Content", or, has not been approved by a moderator, will be taken down or moved accordingly.
Content for "Ask Anything"
The rules for posting in the "Ask Anything" thread, are a bit different. This thread is less restricted when it comes to the posting process, but is also more moderated. The Common Sense Rules, apply here.
