If you can google something to get an easy answer, don't ask on the board. Just go ahead and google it.



This never happens. The boards would be empty otherwise.

My thoughts:

If your kid has a 107 fever for three days, call the doc. Don't ask us.

You can really dress yourself without asking the world "yay or nay" first. Come on ladies - you are grown ups now.

There is no such thing as a passive aggressive post.

It always becomes aggressive.


Edited because I spelled aggressive wrong. Twice.

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...

If you contradict yourself you will get called out on it.

Example:

From the same poster:

On NFR: "Help me I have no money, I'm broke, I can't afford my rent."

On Fashion: "Look at the $500 bag I just bought!!"

If someone spends the time to FM you with advice or what have you, take the time to respond, even if it is just with a short "thanks for the info" type response

this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine

This one drives me nuts and I will add, go to the doctor, don't ask people on a message board to diagnose your illness.

Any person on any board who diagnoses anything and the faith put into those diagnoses is my BIGGEST pet peeve.

Before the internet, people relied on instinct. What happened to that?

Sorry, I disagree here....it's the online version of being in a store with your friend and asking "what do you think of this..." You've never asked for a fashion opinion?

There is an FM flag.

There is a little envelope in the upper right hand corner in case the flag fails you.

Therefore there is no need to post "You have FM."

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...

I understand people are wary of lurkers and you dont want people knowing your business

But if you can't post good news or bad news, don't post it

In other words, we don't need to hear "I have good news to share, but I can't share it yet"

When you're safe to share it, share it
