When you join sites, like SW, do you have rules for yourself that you try to live by?

i act as myself. i don't have a second personality but if anyone shows disrespect or attacks me, i block. giving an opinion is good. i like hearing different points of view but some on here can't do that

Sometimes you just have to muffle the noise , or just turn it completely off

There is nothing cowardice about blocking or muting someone...


For me , it's just measured maintenance ..

I try to make people smile, feel understood, be helpful, not give in to my sometimes negative tendencies and refrain from butting in when I see them in others. Not my business, not my job. General rule of thumb- if I’m not having fun, that’s a red flag and time for some course correction.

I don't delete comments either. I blocked 2 people in 8 years on here. One of them I don't remember why.

I think in terms of goals on sites like this as opposed to rules. For example

my goal when I first joined SW was to have private pm's and 1x1 conversations. Early covid it was to socialize and now it is mostly to be interactive on the forums (which I didn't do for years)

My goal on FB is to reconnect with friends in my past that I no longer live near. To interact in groups based on shared hobbies

My goal on LinkedIn is business networking.

My goal on Quora (which changed due to the sites changes) was to ask really smart people questions they were experts on and to learn from subject matter experts in areas I was under-educated on.

As long as it does not violate site rules, I will do as I see fit on MY posts and MY profile.

I hope that's OK. 😏

I do what makes me most comfortable. I don’t see any reason to continue putting up with someone that irks me. It’s not doing anyone any favors, and I don’t feel like it helps me be a better person.
Having expectations for other people that you’ve put upon yourself is just setting you up for disappointment.

I dont really have rules and just decide as I go. I dont block anyone unless theyre being really disrespectful to me and I dont delete comments unless they seem very disrespectful also. Idc if anyone deletes my stuff or disagrees.

Don't get involved emotionally with anyone, spend only a few minutes on here, dont share too much, keep an invisible wall up at all times, don't take things seriously on here. Thats about it.

I've dropped any of those ideals. I'm not here to entertain people that have insincere motives.

I try to call em as I see em.

@WizardofOz no just take wjhat comes really i am not out for confrontation but will take no crap

yes i block people who i don't like the look of and who i disagree with or just object to, and i don't give a shit what anyone thinks.

Yes , I don’t send nude without receiving payment first 😂

Yeah.. if u post nudes insta block..

If u post politics and religion insta block

Just two main ones

I'm not strict about it but I often block people who delete my comments.

I play it by ear. If we were armed then I'd insist we all live by a definite set of rules 🤨

Yes hopefully we all do; somebody had posted a pic of a girl in underwear and claimed she was above the age of consent. Aside from the disturbing nature of this I don't want to go to prison because somebody else wants to act the bellend. Another user had already called him out for it, I asked him to take it down and when this helmet thought he knew best I reported him for it.

Sounds like you have no values, and will tolerate anything. Good luck!

You sound like the male version of myself.. lol

You bet I do.

Usually

[quote]Another rule I have is, I will delete your comments if you delete mine! I think that is fair. [/quote]
My rule is to [i]try[/i] not to stoop to their level. Perhaps it's fair but tit for tat belongs in the school playground.

Very close to what you do old bean.

No
