#BEGINNERS TAG REMOVALS

Non-Beginner Article

All articles on #beginners should be written for those new to programming, development, networking, or to a particular language. These posts should also require little to no prerequisite knowledge. If you wish, you may rewrite your post to meet these requirements, at which point you may request that the tag be added back. Otherwise, just use the appropriate technology tags. (Read more about the tag rules here.)

Non-Beginner Question

Questions on #beginners are welcome, but should be seeking answers assume no prerequisite knowledge. (Read more about the tag changes here.)

Articles should not primarily be used for driving traffic to an article on another website. Please post the entire article here on DEV (if you have proper rights). (Read more about the tag rules here.)

While some "promotional" content is permitted on #beginners (see tag rules), articles should not primarily promote an external work. Please use listings for posts like this. (Read more about the tag rules here.)

LINKBACK ONLY COMMENT

We encourage the entire article to be published on DEV.to (if you have proper rights), with a linkback if appropriate. Otherwise, we recommend original material, such as an original commentary on the article. From the Terms of Use:

Users must make a good-faith effort to share content that is...not designed primarily for the purposes of promotion or creating backlinks. Additionally, posts must contain substantial content — they may not merely reference an external link that contains the full post.

Posts that are simply intended to encourage readers to view an external resource are discouraged.

Thank you.

PROMOTIONAL ONLY COMMENT

Posts here on DEV.to should contain actual substantial content, not just be intended to promote another external work. From the Terms of Use:

Users must make a good-faith effort to share content that is...not designed primarily for the purposes of promotion or creating backlinks. Additionally, posts must contain substantial content — they may not merely reference an external link that contains the full post.

Please use listings for posts like this (see the rules there.)

Thank you.

ADVERTISING COMMENT

Posts here on DEV.to should contain actual substantial content, not just be intended to promote a company or service. From the Terms of Use:

Users must make a good-faith effort to share content that is...not designed primarily for the purposes of promotion or creating backlinks.

Posts that are simply intended as advertisements are discouraged.

However, DEV Listings may be appropriate for this.

Thank you.

JOB POSTING

Hey there!

Submitting a job offering as an article isn't ideal as folks are generally expecting to read full posts with some actionable info or discourse (i.e. tutorials, editorials, tool lists ,etc).

However, DEV Listings is perfect for this. Consider sharing your sharing job Listings here - dev.to/listings/jobs and perhaps you'll have better luck. Also, you might want to check out - dev.to/listings/forhire for potential candidates to reach out to.

Hope this helps!

REQUESTING WORK/PROJECT

Please use listings for posts requesting projects or work. Thank you.
