Apostrophes, people, are used either when you're taking shortcuts like in "you're" = "you are" or when something has ownership of something else e.g. FallentoReason's post. When you use an apostrophe, ask yourself why. Is it because there's letters that are missing (e.g. we'll = we will) or because that person or thing has ownership of something? Otherwise, it's most likely not needed therefore please don't (i.e. DO NOT) use it!
P.s. don't mean to brag, but English is actually my second language.. I shouldn't be better than native speakers at it!
