Nine Tips for Note-taking: MNR Edition

1-13-2021

GENERALLY

1. Use plain text file for notables.

Avoid Word or other word processors, plain text is better for chan markup.

2. Post notes at least 3 to 4 times during the bread, including a semi-final @170 and final @185+.

Don't stick anything iffy in at the last moment, make sure anons can vet it first.

3. Make notables easy to find with RED TEXT or BOLD.

Also tag to DOUGH post.

DECIDING WHAT TO NOTABLE

4. On MNR, most newsy posts are notable (relevant and sauce)

But it's easy to miss things like anon analyses or stuff wo/formatting - eyez on.

5. For noms wo/a description (usually anon diagrams, etc.), ask for one.

It's anons' responsibility to summarize a main point.'

6. For biased or wordy MSM headlines, feel free to do 'damage control'

If necessary, edit the title to be more neutral (not insulting) or shorter if wordy (or add important details if missing).

7. Look for special reports: planefags, boatfags, Resignations in the News, etc.

Anons seldom nom these, except for RA's stuff if they don't see it in Notes.

8. If there is too much news & bred is fast…

…focus mainly on nommed posts, breaking news (if verified), news re Q concerns (CP, etc.).

Not a problem til now, but bread speeds are increasing - good to know what's priority.

9. Check for two things: dates and whether it's been notabled (in qresear.ch).

Easy during slow breads, hard during fast ones. Dates take priority. But if you forget, anons or shills will always let you know.
