Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Why do ppl choose colors / shades that you can’t tell apart

I had the exact same thought. I think the map would work way better if states without ban had a significantly lighter shade of grey (or even white)

As is the ones with 1-10 bans stand out by far the most due to the red being so bright (would need to be a bit more desaturated like the others). And the worse offenders are harder to see against the dark grey.

To add, there are palettes available online that work well even for most colorblind people

Yeah. This feels like someone looked at the uncolored map and decided it wasn't depressing enough, and switched to gray for states without bans.

I like that 0 is very distinct, because they should stand out... But everything else should really be a gradient between two colors, and neither of them should be black when zero is grey....
