Forum Etiquette

Etiquette
1-It’s a good idea to read through the information on the site and the other participant’s comments before posting a comment.
2- Always respect the views of other participants even if you don’t agree with them.
3- Be constructive. It’s okay to disagree with other forum participants, just keep the comments positive.
4- Always keep things civil. It is important to keep the comments focused on the issues rather than letting it deteriorate into personal insults.
5- Once you’ve left your comment keep an eye on the forum to see what other people have to say.
6- If you feel that someone has insulted you, report their comment to the moderator. Don’t perpetuate the dispute. The moderator will take a look at the comment in question and decide whether it should be removed.
7- Stay on topic. These forums have been created for a specific purpose.
8- Remember to turn off the “CAPS LOCK”. Writing in ALL CAPS is the equivalent of SHOUTING and may be offensive.
9- Choose one topic under which you would like to post each of your unique comments, and do not cut and paste the same comment into lots of different rule topics. These will be considered duplicates and may be removed.
10- Don’t be a “troll.” Trolls intentionally incite annoyance or offense. They do not participate constructively and do not add any value to the forum.
11- Don’t bully, harass or threaten other participants. If another participant proffers an opinion that you don’t agree with, you have no right to demand that they support their position with a detailed reply. They do not have to respond to your questions. It is up to each individual to participate in the forum as much or as little as they wish.
12- Please respect the moderators. Their job is to keep the forum safe and constructive so that everybody gets an opportunity to have his or her say.
13- Try to avoid using acronyms or text talk. By sticking to plain English more people will understand the points you are trying to make.
