| Blog Rules
|
| Generally, blogs do not have many
rules, the spontaneous interchange of information is part of
their appeal. Usually, a short warning about decorum is the
only formal statement. That said, there are plenty of unwritten
rules that help most blogs run slightly more smoothly than say,
conversations between baseball managers and umpires. |
| Rule
#1: |
|
Be very,
very, very nice. You are representing General Clark
by your behavior. A lot of people just hang around
and read the posts. Imagine one of them is your
mother, if that helps. |
| Rule
#2: |
|
You do
not have to post. Feel free to sit on the sidelines
while you get a feeling for how the discussion works,
and when you feel ready, please don't hesitate. |
| Rule
#3: |
|
Identify
yourself, but you may want to protect your email
address. Some might find it rude to post without
telling who you are, but you can use your homepage
to provide a mail link back to you if you need that. |
| Rule
#4: |
|
Try to
stay on topic. The topic is usually listed at the
top of the blog. Get a new topic started if you
have to. |
| Rule
#5: |
|
Ignore
anyone who is displaying bad behavior. In internet
parlance, these people are called "trolls"
and the best response is to do nothing but alert
the moderator so that they can deal with the situation.
Remember, there is a difference between being a
troll and displaying a dissenting opinion. Sometimes
it can be a fine line. |
| Rule
#6: |
|
Take overly
personal conversations to email. . . |
| Rule
#7: |
|
If you
have been very active on the blog, announce when
you leave for the day, or leave for the night. |
