Best Practices
Give More than You Get
Finish February is an event about exchanging insight and critique, not dropping your track off and walking away. Give quality feedback to receive it in return.
Update a single post, don't add new threads
Edit your existing posts! Add "UPDATE - " to your forum post title and spend a moment describing what you've changed from previous versions.
Include your Artist Name in the Forum Post
Artist Name - Track Title
This helps everyone identify your track at a glance
