Must You Get Involved?
YOU WILL BE DISTRACTED.Consider your reputation/brand when you
write.
Why do you need an Internet social life?
Determine need, then decide best choice for family, or co-workers or business networking or promotion.
Different user names for different
communities is fine.

Is it true, is it necessary, is it kind? Check spelling Don’t “link drop” in forums Always READ HOUSE RULES for any community you join Allow yourself to be open to alternate views, opinions Do not edit or delete blog comments if the commenter disagrees
with you Avoid judging someone when all they have is 140 characters to
write with Turn a negative into positive – Ask yourself, could this person be a
good member of our community? (Sometimes a small nudge is all that’s needed.)
Use emoticons to express feelings, emotions, slant Get involved in your community; volunteer

People WILL use social networks against you
Bad behavior can and does create lawsuits
Leaving spam and ugly comments is a reportable offense
Do not type drunk Communities create themselves
(Don’t be a control freak.) Moderate comments to avoid flame
wars
There is no such thing as privacy Let people tag themselves Do not ID anyone underage Some communities check your IP,
user name and email address for past history
Moderate comments to protect our guest
