Can Non-Engineers Participate in Physics Forums?

[farsideofourmoon]

How did you find PF?

looked for experts and found them here

I do have a license to practice a profession in my state but it is not in physics
having said that, do you allow persons who are not "engineers" to ask questions or attempt to answer another 's question-?

There are rules for both asking and answering questions - so see the guideline.
In no case do you need a education credential.

And welcome!

exposing my ignorance, where can I find these guidelines & is it possible for me to print the guidelines for future review?

 

[farsideofourmoon]

I believe I found “Terms and Rules” which is under [INFO] but the term “guidelines” was/is not mentioned.

Is this the correct place?

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click TERMS, which should take you to https://www.physicsforums.com/help/terms-of-service/. Individual forums have specific guidelines in pinned posts at the top - check them too.

It's mostly common sense. The ones people seem to fall over are posting homework questions without showing evidence of any effort and posting unpublished personal theories.
