Group Etiquette

1. Always learn to appreciate other people's posts, even if they are not your friend
   It makes them feel important and encouraged to come up with something more positive.

2. Never run people down on the platform in a group chat
   You will cause them to withdraw and will never come up with their objective views on issues.

3. When you see something you don't like from a member, inbox the person
   Don't attack him/her on the platform publicly

4. Never insult or use unpleasant languages on members You expose your uncultured manners and attitude to people and may turn the platform to combat ground.

5. Be quick to say sorry and apologize when u have erred It helps to bring down the tension which your utterances must have created.

6. Don't try to enforce your ideas or suggestions on members Nobody has monopoly of knowledge, allow majority conclusions to prevail on issues.

7. Never settle scores with anybody on a general group chat It will give others the opportunity to take sides, thereby causing others to withdraw.

8. When anyone is celebrating, he/she may not need to be your friend before you celebrate with that person.
   It's the spirit of brotherliness

9. Some have the gift of talking and others the gift of reading
   Learn to contribute to the group... Even if it is just using the symbol 👍... It makes people know that you appreciate the group.

(B) lnspirational/educative posts
Commend the person.. Don't just read and keep quiet.

(C) Meaningless/wrong/uninformed posts
Start by appreciating the writer, then correct the information, but don't hush him/her up with condemnation. The above notwithstanding, learn to be highly principled and objective. Never compromise the the standard.
