PSA: Not to be all anti "puppies and rainbows"...
I know that a lot of us have been together since The Knot and came over together and I know that several May Brides have found us on The Nest since we matriculated.
That being said, I want to open up this thread as a "Tips & Tricks" for better posting on the board.
Please feel free to add your own little tip or hint that you have learned by perusing the boards!
I'll start!
- We're all good with reading the long posts (and referencing such in the subject line is GREAT) but when writing a post that you know is going to have quite a bit of length to it, please try your best to break it up into paragraphs. It makes the post very difficult to read at times when it's all jumbled into a single paragraph. TIA!
Re: PSA: Not to be all anti "puppies and rainbows"...
I was not around on The Knot either. I am glad I am not the only one that is a little bothered by the lack of paragraphs.
How about: Be honest, but not snarky.
After reading some of the posts on The Knot and on The Nest... wow! People say the nastiest, most hurtful things to people. Sometimes I really want to call them out on it, but I am not brave enough to be the next victim of their nastiness.
This! I hate it when people are snarky.
Yeah, the spelling thing drives me NUTS on other boards! I mean, all it takes is a quick proof-read of what you've typed.
So glad that us May girls seem to have a nice grasp on spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc!
I'm very much a stickler for good spelling and proper grammar, as well.
Agreed that long posts are easier to read when broken up with paragraphs - Cliff's Notes are also helpful. (You'll sometimes see these on other boards - esp on TK - as a 1 or 2 sentence recap at the start of a long post.)
I'm a big fan of honesty when presented in a manner that isn't insulting. I will always tell you the truth as I don't like to sugarcoat and I'll never pay a false compliment. But I will also present my (honest) opinions in a manner that isn't intended to be hurtful - just upfront. Sometimes it's more helpful to hear the truth or a conflicting opinion rather than blind validation for a bad idea.
I think it's hard to tell if someone you don't personally know is being snarky through text you are reading. I just think it's hard to tell how someone intends their text to be read if you don't know their personality very well.
