Hello Gnarkansan,
Welcome to our neck of the woods. Introduce yourself to our community and let us know who you are, why you're here, some fun facts, whatever floats your boat. One thing you will learn about us is: be yourself and we will accept you for who you are...as long as you're down with rad stuff. Browse around, but be sure that at the core of it, you keep yourself tuned in to Gnarkansas.com for all of your gnar needs.
POSTING RULES
- Before posting your thread or comment to a discussion board, check if anyone has asked it already and received a reply. Just as you wouldn’t repeat a topic of discussion right after it happened in real life, don’t do that in discussion boards either.
- Stay on topic – Don’t post irrelevant links, comments, thoughts, or pictures.
- Don’t type in ALL CAPS! If you do, it will look like you’re screaming.
- Don’t write anything that sounds angry or sarcastic, even as a joke, because without hearing your tone of voice, your peers might not realize you’re joking.
- Always remember to say “Please” and “Thank you” when soliciting help from your peers.
- Respect the opinions of your classmates. If you feel the need to disagree, do so respectfully and acknowledge the valid points in your peer’s argument. Acknowledge that others are entitled to have their own perspective on the issue.
- If you ask a question and many people respond, summarize all answers and post that summary to benefit the general understanding.
- Be brief. If you write a long dissertation in response to a simple question, it’s unlikely that anyone will spend the time to read through it all.
- Don’t badmouth others or call them stupid. You may disagree with their ideas, but don’t mock the person.
- If you refer to something your peer said earlier in the discussion, quote just a few key lines from their post so that others wont have to go back and figure out which post you’re referring to.
- Before asking a question, check the FAQs or search the internet to see if the answer is obvious or easy to find.
- Check the most recent comments before you reply to an older comment, since the issue might have already been resolved or opinions may have changed.
- Be forgiving. If your peer makes a mistake, don’t badger him or her for it. Just let it go – it happens to the best of us.
- Run a spelling and grammar check before posting anything to the discussion board. It only takes a minute, and can make the difference between sounding like a fool and sounding knowledgeable.
RULE OF THUMB: If you wouldn’t do or say something in real life, don’t do it online either.
Thank You,
Gnarkansas Office
