AR Etiquette: Don't 💩 On Another Member's Post

AR Etiquette: Don't 💩 On Another Member's Post 

Snarky comments by members are best left to other social media platforms, where it's a readily accepted practice. Authors here, who take the time to write about subjects they enjoy or to educate fellow members with industry information or create fun-filled posts, rarely expect the negativity.

Granted, some members only grind out posts designed to get the consumers attention, not wanting to build relationships here in the Rain. Their blog is completely customer facing, many turn off commenting altogether. The beauty of this forum is the diversity and wide range of professionals.

But if you're...

Looking to get a comment removed because you enjoy 'disagreeing' especially in lighthearted blogs? That wish can be granted, especially when taking the post in a downward direction. Try writing an opposing view to reach an audience on your page. 

There's no need to leave a reminder about your selling area when commenting. Several members do this constantly, even after they've been asked nicely to stop. Most are on-the-go, serial copy/paster's anyway

Be best to...

Avoid acting like you're heads above everyone else in the intelligence department by pompously schooling everyone else, it is a huge turn off. As a past client once declared, "This industry isn't rocket science" and I, myself, refuse to do blustery! 

Of course, it's your blog, do what you wish unless it goes against ActiveRain's etiquette rules. Then, it's out of your control at that point and will be addressed. Break the rules too many times and say goodbye to one of the best real estate related forums online. Your choice completely.

So, avoid 💩ing on another member's post and please do not allow your dog to 💩 on the neighbor's lawn. If it happens, quickly clean your act it up!

Hi Wanda oh I so remember when it was way more prevalent than it's been the last few years or so on AR.  I don't get it that folks just don't read the guidelines and actually want to accept and be part of the community in a genuine way.  It does them no good what so ever, in fact, it's the opposite effect.  Years ago some dude was really nasty on one of my posts and I deleted it.  He came back again and then again.  Poof gone. That was a pointless game he was playing.  Don't even recall his name and I'm sure he hasn't been on AR for years now.

Have experienced that a few times with members and a few people outside of AR doing that before I turned off public commenting, Anna "Banana" Kruchten. Some just want to fight and verbally hit with their words. I remember writing a post, where a woman was calling lenders, title people and other agents to get information from them so she could navigate a transaction all on her own (insert eye roll).

She must have shown him the blog and her grandpa sent me a nasty reply.  I realized right then, that the woman got her bad manners from poo-poo paw-paw! 💩

Being generally nice is it pretty much universal rule and it’s not always easy but as a general rule, we should be nice.

It really is sad that some people have a desire to 💩 on other people! It's just not nice. I have seen a more professional demeanor lately. A few years ago, there were some Nasty Nellie's on here.

Yes, I observed a lot of that back in the day, Dr. Paula McDonald. Thankfully, it's not as prevalent today!

I don't comment even close to the degree I did in my early years in the Rain.  Other aspects of my life consumed more time and something had to give.  I still check in daily.
My key criteria for what is okay and not okay for a comment is impacted by whether the writer's post is consumer directed or Rain-facing.  A bad comment on a public facing post can destroy the work of the writer and leave them with no choice but to delete a comment.

Every day counts, so still plugging away at work and getting some play time in these days, Liz and Bill Spear. People should click off instead of instigating but some enjoy the superior feelings or results they get from taunting others.

My days of engaging trolls is over and would rather be happy than pulled downward!

Hi Wanda,
Some people just don't know how to scroll on by. Alienating members is downright dumb. What possible positive purpose could that serve? Misplaced self-promotion is dumb, too. It is so obvious they're promoting themselves instead of supporting the blogger.

In general, I have found AR to be the most civil, supportive, and beneficial social media platform anywhere. Let's keep it that way. 😊

Those people will always exist but thankfully most leave the forum because no one wants to play their game, Carol Williams. And we know, they love to perform in front of an audience!

If we don't play their game, they take their attitude somewhere else.

Hi Wanda:

It's a shame that, on occasion, snarkiness rears its rude head. It accomplishes nothing positive and only reflects back negatively on the person making the comment. Why deliberately create a negative impression of yourself?

Most of the time we only get one chance to make a positive impression. Always best to put the best self forward, especially in business climate, Jeff Dowler, CRS!
