Forum Etiquette : Be nice [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 26 Oct 2007, 16:23
This is a reminder to myself first and then to the community. I know it is a stressful time for a lot of the members, but let us all make every effort to address a question in the most positive way we can. Let us encourage participation as much as we can.

It is not always possible to know what is important to someone. It is also not always possible to know if what we say will offend someone.

A simple rule of thumb is to avoid posting in a thread if we cannot contribute to the discussion and lead it forward. We have nothing against jokes and a little fun.

On the other hand, if someone else's response offends you, resist the urge to shoot back out of respect for other readers. Let the moderators or myself know.

Debates :cool

Jokes :cool

Random Threads with the sole purpose of entertainment :cool

Personal Attacks :no

Disrespect :no

Agree.... I think some comments were just too much.

Can I make personal attacks against myself? What about disrespecting me? :lol:

Lately I find myself doing a lot of both. Although most of it is offline.

On a serious note, great announcement, Praet. It's good to have clear guidelines.

thanks, Praet. And it was especially good of you to include illustrating emoticons, considering the state we're all in. Made it easier to understand for our post-essay mush-brains. :)

Dont worry, whoever reads your post will most likely relate to your words. You have this forum to vent your frustrations. Another "BAD attitude" type thread would be so great. That is some thread.
