or: Suggestions for Community Rules

In American English, if a noun, such as “rules,” modifies another noun, like “suggestions,” the first noun is usually singular.

This is preferential.

Confirm the meeting time bBefore 8 p.m. everyon Thursday, Beijing time, post a message to confirm the meeting time.

If no one confirms it, it meansposts a message to confirm the meeting, or if nobody else responds to the message within 24 hours confirming that they plan to attend the weekend meeting, then the meeting is cancelled.
