• Lie to your friends or community. Don’t ever try to lie to others. Once you lie, you need to lie again to cover your first lie. It ends up with unfinished lying and people would find out very easily through a little online research.

• Use vulgar and derogatory language in your postings. If you don’t like to read such message from others, you better don’t do this to others.

• Too many typo errors and grammar mistakes in your posts. If you consistently make grammar mistakes and typo errors in your posting or messages, people may feel disturbance and don’t feel like continue reading from you.

• Posting and talking about yourself all the time. This is not welcome especially when interactive at forum. Forum is about conversation and if you just focus on yourself and not answering others, you are mostly not welcome.
