Question
Elijah Jumanya
I have been an avid reader of the Q&A threads, I've learned a lot of good things from some of the posters but of late (and yes here we go again) I am seeing respondents to posts Flaming each other, using Vulgarity and and off topic items all of which are Violations of the posted Guidelines. And to be honest I don't think there are enough Lindens in the world to constantly watch the Blogs and Q&A.
How do we as a group help others learn what is appropriate and what is inappropriate behavior. I have filed complaints against the worst offenders but to no avail. I hear everyone complaining about problems but few offering constructive answers. I am including some parts of the Guidelines here in hopes of spurring some thought and positive discussion about this.
I am of an older generation that was raised to say please and thank you, to treat others with respect. And to say to ourselves "would I want this done or said to me?" and if the question is no then not to say or do it. I am also not of the thinking that "I have to do it to them, before they do it to me". And I know that many out there agree.
I am pleading with all here to begin using manners and courtesy when dealing with others, your behavior here reflects your behavior in-world and in RL and I don't know about you but I would never want to be treated the way some treat others.
No Flaming, Spamming, or Trolling
Spirited discussion is encouraged, but flaming, spamming, and trolling are not allowed. “Flames” are hostile or disruptive posts, or messages intended to incite an angry response. “Spam” is repeated posting, cross posting, or messaging on the same topic or discussion and includes chain letters. And “trolling” is posting an intentionally contrary opinion to incite argumentative response. In the heat of a passionate discussion you may sometimes be tempted to say something that on reflection you will regret. If your comments don’t further a productive dialogue with others who may not share your opinions, then you should reconsider posting.
