Netiquette: The Ten Commandments


The following are general principles of netiquette,
or network etiquette:

1. Remember the human. Keep in mind that other
internet users are real people with real feelings. Do
not do something that you wouldn't want to happen
to you.

2. Generally, adhere to the same standards of
behaviour as you do offline.

3. Lurk before you leap. Know where you are in
cyberspace and get a feel of the local conventions
before doing anything. For example, chat room
slang such as lol or ig2g may not be acceptable in
USENET.

4. Respect other people's time and bandwidth.
Before you post anything, make sure it is of benefit
to those who will read it. If its in a discussion, make
sure it is relevant, try to post in plain text and
check spelling and grammar.

5. Before asking a question, read the FAQs.

6. Make yourself look good. Participate in
discussions and post frequently, but not just so that
you can see your name. Try to share your unique
viewpoint, experience and/or expert knowledge.

7. Respect other people's privacy.

8. Help to keep flame wars and other
disagreements under control. Do not add fuel to
the fire.
If you believe someone is wrong or hjas violated
certain rules, tell him/her in private email - do not
post a follow up to the offending post. Be polite as
it may be an honest mistake.

9. Do not abuse your power. For example, if you're
a moderator or administrator, do not make life
unnecessarily difficult for others.

10. Forgive others.

Ron, your language was atrocious. Either apologize or quit posting if you must spout such CRAP on this board. The moderator has much to answer for if this breech of netiquette continues.

To be clear, I don't have any ability to pull postings or control access to the site. That is farms.com responsibility as owners and managers of the site. I (like everyone else) have the ability to raise the issue with Joe Dales/Farms.com.

I appreciate Jagfarms posting the information about Netiquet (sp?). The guidelines also clearly lay out responsilities and rights.

At the end of the day, however, we all have to bear individual responisibility for what we say. Perhaps one of the things I have learned (and sometimes forget) is not to fall for traps when someone is simply trying to provoke. Readers on this site are pretty savy/knowledgeable and can read postings for what they are/come to their own conclusion without being coached or told.

Wilagro.
Sorry for my choice of words. I deeply regret hurting your feelings. Here is my revised version.

Burbert, why are you such a jerk?

Very seldom do you start a thread or contribute in what I feel is a positive way.

Regardless of pro-cwb or pro-freedom farming is stressfull.

Do you really farm. Is that it? Are you a real producer or are you just lurking around pushing buttons and then going back to Walmart to greet my wife at the door and offer her a cart? Or are you an employee of mine at the CWB?

I dont like your attitude and I dont like the CWB if that is who you represent (actually I dont like the CWB regardless of whether you are really an employee in disguise or not)

Hopefully this version is better. And yes that was a very poor choice of words in the first version.

Ron, I don't like you either, so you can fergit suckin up to me, with your wimpy attempt to show that you regret sayin, what ya did all whinny and wimpy. I suspect that bannishment, form this site was in the works, ifinn ya didn't correct your jargon. Yup I'm a farmer, and no I don't open the door for yer wife at Walmart!

What I really want to know is if you expanded your farm to more than 400 acres.

Which model of straight cut header will fit our 77 L2? We use the combine, for wheat, barley and canola and do about 400 acres per year. Currently the header on the machine is equipped with a pickup for swathes. By the way speaking of pickups, whats with those wheels? The way they are mounted about all they are good for is checking the pickup height when you are moving, since they aren't mounted strong enough to actually hold the pickup up?

Maybe you're related to Wayne Easter - and then this would all make sense.

A TROLL...we have a TROLL. Searching for information about someone's personal acreage farmed.

Wonder why?
