Forum Rules

[Amanda C]

Discussion Forum Rules:

1. Before posting your question to a discussion board, check if anyone has asked it already and received a reply.
2. Stay on topic – Don’t post irrelevant links, comments, thoughts, or pictures. Please, no inappropriate or negative memes, etc.
3. Don’t type in ALL CAPS! It looks like yelling.
4. Don’t write anything that sounds angry or sarcastic, even as a joke, because without hearing your tone of voice, your peers might not realize you’re joking. Sarcasm is hard to decipher in text.
5. Always remember to say “Please” and “Thank you” when soliciting help from your peers. Be respectful.
6. Respect the opinions of your peers. If you feel the need to disagree, do so respectfully and acknowledge the valid points in your classmate’s argument. Acknowledge that others are entitled to have their own perspective on the issue.
7. If you reply to a question from a peer, make sure your answer is accurate! If you are unsure, please say so.
8. Be brief. If you write a long dissertation in response to a simple question, it’s unlikely that anyone will spend the time to read through it all.
9. Don’t use profanity or call anyone names. We’re here to be helpful and respectful.
10. If you refer to something your peer said earlier in the discussion, quote just a few key lines from their post so that others wont have to go back and figure out which post you’re referring to.
11. Check the most recent comments before you reply to an older comment, since the issue might have already been resolved or opinions may have changed.
12. Do not spam the group with self promotions or random discussions that have nothing to do with the topic. You will be warned then removed from the forum if it continues

13. Have fun and enjoy learning. That is what we are here for. Happy fishing!
