Commenting on Quincy Buzz Blog
You are either starting or joining a conversation. Because you have accepted an invitation to comment, there are etiquette guidelines.
Don't change the subject! Have you ever been in a conversation you are passionate about and someone walks up, interrupts and changes the subject?
Bring something new!Make sure your comment is an original one, not one 10 other people have posted.
Mind your manners!No profanity, name-calling or nastiness. If you are in a cranky mood, best wait till you are in a better mood to comment.
No one cares how smart you are!Okay, maybe your mother cares.Typos, errant punctuation or a misspelling does not need to be pointed out. If it is ours...e-mail us at info@quincybuzz.com and we will thank you for your aid.
Clarity in your comments!We can't see your facial expressions. Sarcasm may come across as a genuine feeling.
Don't hide behind your anonymity!If you can't own it.....don't say it.
Respectfully disagree!We don't all agree. You can state your opinion without insulting someone.
Beware of commenters remorse! Think before you comment, especially if you're angry, high, drunk or any combination of the above.
Ignore the trolls! If someone gets your goat, don't stroke their ego by firing back.
Don't bore us! If you don't like the conversation or comments, please don't comment. "not news", "slow news day" are rude comments and will not be tolerated.
