==INTRO TO BAKING==
'''Qresearch is a 24/7 beehive of activity where anons post their diggs, memes and prayers.'''
For this to happen requires '''''bakers'''''--which is why they have been called  "the core of this board."
'''Bakers perform several key functions:'''
'''*''' __Set the ''tone''__ for each bread via their choice of bread title and /comms/ with posters.
'''*''' __Post ''notables''__ for each bread.
'''*''' __Bake ''breads''__ (transition the board from one thread to the next).
'''*''' __Knead the ''dough''__  (keeping the resource pages clean, tidy, and up-to-date).
When all goes well, baking is a fun & exciting opportunity to serve. When things get wonky and shills attack--bakers carry on anyway.
Shadilay, fellow bakers!
