When to write to me

I read every note myself once a week on Sunday evening with a mug of tea and my log open. I answer fastest on broken routes and wrong vendor prices because those block readers the same day. I take tips on Forever beta spots in Zephras Isle and Riverglades with level ranges attached. I take Destiny dungeon corrections with subclass and Power Level noted. I keep press mails and collab offers in a separate pile and I reply within seven days when dates fit my raid calendar. I never promise instant replies during launch weeks around November 4 or raid unlocks around December 9. I post a short note on the blog when my inbox queue grows past two weeks. I log endless back and forth in one thread so facts never scatter across five mails. I copy patch numbers into replies when a hotfix moves spawns overnight in Hyjal edges.

What to include so I can help

I fix guides faster when your note holds facts I can retest. I need your character level and zone name for Forever issues. I need boss name and lockout state for raid reports. I need platform and build name for Destiny questions. I need screenshots of loot rules or error text when a run breaks. I need the post URL you read and the date you tried the route. I strip account names and BattleTags before I quote notes in updates. I never ask for passwords or authenticator codes. I never ask for full Battle.net mail. If a booking question touches my WoW Forever boost note on the home page I need order region and time slot only, nothing private. I attach my test realm and faction when I ask for a recheck so helpers copy my setup. I ask for a short clip when text cannot show a boss facing bug in Barrow Deeps.

Form and direct mail

I keep two doors open. The form below lands straight in my mailbox and it tags your topic before I open it. Direct mail to info@thebaconing.com works too for long logs with attachments. I prefer the form for short fixes and mail for dungeon logs over two pages. I delete spam and phishing links without reply. I block senders who push gold sites twice. I confirm receipt only when you ask for it in the subject line. I publish corrections with your first name only when you allow it in the note. I never share your address with third parties or list brokers. I keep Sunday as inbox day and I flag launch week mail with a star for Monday follow-up. I keep a public correction log at the end of each guide with dates I changed steps.

Timing and house rules

I treat this blog as a one man desk with raid nights attached. I write in the morning and I play in the evening. I pause replies during beta patch days when I retest routes myself in Zephras Isle. I pause during travel weeks and I note the pause on the newsletter page. I keep tone civil even when a run went bad. I drop insults and I keep the facts. I welcome rival route data when it ships with proof like a clear screenshot or a short clip. I credit such help in the post footer with a nickname you pick. I close threads that drift into account selling or cheat talk. I store approved route photos with dates so old patches never pollute fresh guides. I close duplicate threads and I point readers to the first answer with full context.
