10 rules of etiquette in blogs and forums

If you read these words, you are involved in blogs and forums. According to my personal experience (including positive and embarrassing), I put forward 10 rules of etiquette for public development.

Note: As usual, my starting point is business writing.

Never humiliate a blogger or forum participant, not verbally or cynically.

Be careful not to humiliate a blogger or a person outside the forum, whose ultimate consequence is to deny the individual.

If you want to ask questions in a forum, be grateful for the answers and people you get. Don't be a simple "thank you" thing, to say why you thanked. Like "Thank you for your pertinent comments on my marketing greeting card." As usual, you can always think of something I can't think of. ”

If you want to ask questions in a blog or forum, be actively involved. Share your knowledge, not just ask for it.

Remember: Your comments are written and follow the writing rules. To grammar fluent, punctuation correct, use properly. Capitalize your name and the first letter of a sentence for a few seconds.

Don't take the initiative to speak to others, or you will be considered a parent or a know-it-all. If someone asks you, try to provide.

Don't take anger in the comments. You may be calm tomorrow, but your comments will show your past anger.

Forgive others for their negligence, if they occasionally appear strange or ignorant, do not ignore. Maybe they'll have a good night's sleep and tomorrow will be smart and witty.

If you are actively involved in a blog or forum, let others know when you have no time. In this way, they will not worry about you or ask you to comment when you are busy.

Be humane and let people know you. Do not hide the fake web name. Imagine that the person you are communicating with is a person who is as cute and even better as you.

Please also add your thoughts.
